Get a vector of available trial replicates, based on a specified data storage method
Usage
getReplicates(
path = "ReplicateData",
prefix = "replicate",
method = getEctdDataMethod(),
workingPath = getwd()
)Arguments
- path
The subdirectory (within "workingPath") containing the replicates files ('CSV' and 'RData' methods only)
- prefix
Prefix to used when looking for simulated data files
- method
Data storage method in use, either "CSV", "RData" or "Internal (given by getEctdDataMethod by default)
- workingPath
Root path for simulated data (default is working directory)
Details
This function looks for existing replicates based on the method, directories and file prefix given.
If method is "CSV", the function looks for files starting with "prefix" and ending in ".csv" within the "path" subdirectory of "workingPath" Similarly, if method is "RData", the function looks for files starting with "prefix" and ending in ".rdata" in the same location If method is "Internal", the function looks for data frames found in the internal data storage location (.ectdEnv$DataStore)
The function will return a vector of replicate numbers, or fail if no replicates are found
