pim (version 2.0.4)

add.poset: Add a poset to a pim.environment object

Description

This function adds a poset to a pim.environment object.

Usage

add.poset(x, ...)
# S4 method for pim.environment
add.poset(x, overwrite = FALSE, ...)

Value

The object with a (new) poset attached.

Arguments

x

a pim.environment object

...

further parameters passed to new.pim.poset.

overwrite

a logical value indicating whether the poset should be overwritten if it's already present. Defaults to FALSE to avoid problems.

Warning

Although it might be tempting to pass the argument nobs to new.pim.poset, you shouldn't. The necessary information is taken from the respective slot in the pim.environment object.

If you provide a matrix or a list as value for the argument compare, note that you can easily create a poset that doesn't use all the observations. This might or might not be your intention. If the poset you try to create contains indices that go beyond the number of observations, you will get errors.

See Also

new.pim.poset for the possible values of the arguments compare and nobs.

Examples

data(DysData)
Dysenv <- new.pim.env(DysData)
Dysenv
DysenvAll <- add.poset(Dysenv, overwrite = TRUE, 
                       compare = 'all', nobs = nobs(DysData))
compare(Dysenv)
compare(DysenvAll)
