combineData: Combine list of data frames into one

Description

Combines a list of data frames (the result from using readDataOT1, readDataOT2, or readDataMisc) into one big data frame.

Usage

combineData(DFs)

Arguments

DFs

a list of data frames with a shared set of variables.

Value

• A data frame with the shared set of variables. In addition, it also contains factors identifying the original file (Origin), and a single consecutive numbering of all groups from different data frames (Series).
• ...
  the shared set of variables from the the data frames in the list.
• Group
  a factor that is the original Group variable as defined by OnTarget PC/TDS.
• Origin
  a factor that codes from which original file the data is.
• orgSer
  a factor that results from droplevels(interaction(Origin, Group)), and codes each separate group across original files. The order of the factor levels is alphabetical.
• Series
  a factor that codes each separate group as defined by orgSer, but more conveniently as a number that runs consecutively across original files.

Details

Assumes that the data frames in the list have a non-empty set of shared variables. Among these variables, there must be a factor Group. To be useful for functions analyzeGroup or compareGroups, the data frames also need variables Distance, Aim.X, Aim.Y defining point of aim, Point.X, and Point.Y defining the bullet holes.
