exportGenEst {dwp}

Export Estimated Density-Weighted Proportion to File in Proper GenEst Format

Description

GenEst imports DWP from files with comma-separated values (.csv), with a column giving turbine ID and a column of DWP values for each carcass class. Column lengths are equal to the number of turbines times the number of simulation reps (typically, nsim = 1000), giving nsim copies of DWP values for each turbine in a single column.

Usage

exportGenEst(dwp, file)

Arguments

dwp

a dwphat object

file

name of file to export the dwp estimates to

Details

NOTE: The .csv file uses the English convention (used in USA, UK, Mexico, China, India, Australia, Japan, Korea, and others) with the comma ( , ) and not the semi-colon ( ; ) to separate values among different columns and uses the period ( . ) as the decimal mark. Although GenEst can seamlessly accommodate either format, users in countries where the comma or other character is used as a decimal mark may need to adjust their software settings or edit the data to be able to view it in a spreadsheet program (such as Excel).

Value

The function writes the formatted data to a .csv file and returns NULL.
