Flag
Description
This function flags data that is outside the prespecified range and that is not monotonic.
Usage
mono.flag(data, id.col, x.col, y.col, min, max, data.r = NULL, tol = 0, direction)
Arguments
data | 
 a data.frame or matrix of measurement data  | 
id.col | 
 column where the id's are stored  | 
x.col | 
 column where x values, or time variable is stored  | 
y.col | 
 column where y values, or measurements are stored  | 
min | 
 lowest acceptable value for measurement; does not have to be a number in ycol  | 
max | 
 highest acceptable value for measurement; does not have to be a number in ycol  | 
data.r | 
 prespecified range for y values; must have three columns: 1 - must match values in xcol, 2 - lower range values, 3 - upper range values  | 
tol | 
 tolerance; how much outside of the range (data.r) is acceptable; same units as data in ycol  | 
direction | 
 the direction of the function a choice between increasing 'inc', and decreasing 'dec'  | 
Details
The data range (data.r) does not need to have the same number of rows as data; it only needs to include the exact time increments as xcol.
Value
Returns the data matrix with two additional columns. "Decreasing" is a logical vector that is TRUE if the observation decreases, or causes the ID to be non-monotonic. "Outside.Range" is a logical vector that returns TRUE if the observation is outside of the data.r +/- tol range. Any duplicate rows are removed.
