Description Arguments Value Usage Details Author(s) Examples
This function gets the useful names of a data structure. This attempts to create some polymorphism around lists, vectors, and data.frames.
data |
Any indexable data structure |
Returns the names for a data structure.
anynames(data)
Depending on the type of structure utilized in code, one needs to
call either names or colnames
to get information related to
the data sets within the structure. The use of two separate functions
can cause errors and slows development time as data structures
passed from intermediate functions may change over time,
resulting in a broken interface.
By providing a thin layer over underlying accessors, this function attempts to expedite development and add a bit of polymorphism to the semantics of names. The explicit assumption is that data sets in two dimensional structures are organized by column, as this is compatible with time-series objects such as zoo and xts.
