append.covariate.Rd
append.covariate
appends a data frame of covariates as a new column in a data frame
of trait data.
In the event a trait has several covariates available, the first one found
(i.e. lowest row number) will take precedence
append.covariate(data, column.name, covariates.data)
data | trait dataframe that will be appended to. |
---|---|
column.name | name of the covariate as it will appear in the appended column |
covariates.data | one or more tables of covariate data, ordered by the precedence they will assume in the event a trait has covariates across multiple tables. All tables must contain an 'id' and 'level' column, at minimum. |
