node_set: Create a Tree or Set Attributes for a Node

Description

Create a tree or set attributes for a node by the package data.tree. This function can also be used to add child nodes to a node. This function has side-effects, it modifies the tree given by the argument (see the package data.tree).

Usage

node_set(tree, node.name = NA, ...)

Arguments

tree

a tree (i.e. a Node object) or a character string. If it is a character string, a tree will be created and the string will be the name of the root. And in this case, if you need to use the following parameters to set the attributes of the root node, then the second parameter node.name should be set to NA.

node.name

a character string, the name of a node. If the first parameter is a tree, the value of this parameter should be the name of a node in the tree.

...

attribute names and values (e.g. alpha=1). The parameter name of a value will be treated as the name of an attribute. If a value is NULL, the corresponding attribute should exist and will be deleted.

A value without a parameter name will be treated as a child node or the name of a child node. If the class of the value is Node, it will be added as a child. If the class of the value is character, a child node will be created with the value as the name.

Value

Invisibly returns the node.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
#### create a tree
dst1 <- node_set("firm1")
print(dst1)

## create a tree with children
dst <- node_set(
  "firm", NA,
  "lab", "cap", dst1
)
print(dst)

#### create a tree with attributes
dst <- node_set("firm", NA,
  type = "CD", alpha = 1, beta = c(0.5, 0.5)
)
print(dst, "type", "alpha", "beta")

#### create a tree with attributes and children
dst <- node_set("firm", NA,
  type = "CD", alpha = 1, beta = c(0.5, 0.5),
  "lab", "cap"
)
print(dst, "type", "alpha", "beta")

#### set attributes for a node
dst.firm <- node_set("firm", NA, "VA")
node_set(dst.firm, "VA",
  type = "CD",
  alpha = 0.8^-0.8 * 0.2^-0.2,
  beta = c(0.8, 0.2),
  "lab",
  "cap"
)
print(dst.firm, "alpha", "beta")

## set attributes and add a child for a node
node_set(dst.firm, "VA",
  type = "SCES",
  alpha = 1,
  beta = c(0.1, 0.8, 0.1),
  es = 0,
  "land"
)
print(dst.firm, "type", "alpha", "beta", "es")
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
