combineOadaAICtables: Combine two or more oadaAICtables into a single oadaAICtable
In whoppitt/NBDA: A Package For Implementing Network-Based Diffusion Analysis

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

Takes two or more oadaAICtable objects, containing different models including the same number of networks and the same ILVs, and combine them into a single table.

1 2	combineOadaAICtables(oadaAICtableList, aicUse = "aicc", netComboModifier = rep("", length(oadaAICtableList)))

`oadaAICtableList`	a lift of `oadaAICtable` objects to be combined into a single table.
`aicUse`	string specifying whether to use "aicc" or "aic".
`netComboModifier`	optional character vector with length matching the length of `oadaAICtableList` to modify the netcombo strings recorded from each individual `oadaAICtable` object (see below).

This function can be used for a variety of practical reasons. If the oadaAICtable is interrupted and a partial oadaAICtable recovered, the remaining models can be run as a separate set and combined with the first partial set. Alternatively, the user might want to add more models to a set without re-running the entire set, or run different parts of a model set on different computers to speed up computation time. It is also possible to run model sets with different networks and then combine them using combineOadaAICtables, so long as the number of networks matches (though it is possible to have dummy networks that are constrained to have s=0 in all models, in order to match network number). In such cases a modifier can be added to the netcombo codes from each oadaAICtable so they can be distinguished by functions such as networksSupport. e.g. if we have two oadaAICtable objects each with the netcombos "1:0","0:1","1:2". If we use netComboModifier= c("NetworksA:","NetworksB:") we get netcombos "NetworksA:1:0","NetworksA:0:1","NetworksA:1:2", "NetworksB:1:0","NetworksB:0:1","NetworksB:1:2" in the resulting oadaAICtable object.

An object of class oadaAICtable.
