Confirm that a column is in the data, and rename data to prepare that column for later use.

Description

Usage

standardize_column(dat, cols, colname, coldesc, what, default)

Arguments

dat	An input data.frame or similar object
cols	A list with an element for colname giving the name for colname in dat.
colname	The name of the column (character scalar)
coldesc	The description of the column (character scalar)
what	The description of the data (typically "observed" or "simulated")
