AMModels (version 0.1.4)

getters: Extract A Single Model or Data Object, Get Or Set Info, Description, Or Metadata.

Description

The function getAMData will extract an amData object from an amModelLib; the function getAMModel will extract an amModel object from an amModelLib. The function ammlDesc can be used to retrieve or set a description of an amModelLib object. The function ammlInfo can be used to retrieve or set information about an amModelLib object. modelMeta and dataMeta retrieve and set metadata within amModelLib objects.

Usage

getAMModel(amml, x, as.list = FALSE, ...)
getAMData(amml, x, as.list = FALSE, ...)
ammlDesc(amml)
ammlDesc(amml) <- value
ammlInfo(amml, x = NULL)
ammlInfo(amml) <- value
modelMeta(amml, x = NULL)
modelMeta(amml, x) <- value
dataMeta(amml, x = NULL)
dataMeta(amml, x) <- value

Arguments

amml

An amModelLib object.

x

A name or length 1 integer index to extract from or set within the amModelLib object.

as.list

Logical; FALSE to return just the object, TRUE to return a list with both object and metadata.

…

Additional arguments (not used).

value

A named list of metadata to set within x.

Value

The model or data object in its original form, or if as.list a list with

models

The original model

(or

data

The original data

) and

metadata

metadata

.

Details

The objects created by getAMData and getAMModel are returned as their original class unless the argument as.list is set to TRUE. If as.list, a list is returned with the original object in the first element and metadata in the second. The setters for ammlInfo, modelMeta, and dataMeta replace individual elements in their respective lists with each call. To remove elements set their value to NULL in the named replacement list.
