processFile {robustlmm}

Process File of Stored Datasets

Description

Call this function for each file stored using saveDatasets. If a file hasn't been processed yet, then it is processed and a new file with the postfix “processed” is created containing the results.

Usage

processFile(
  file,
  fittingFunctions,
  saveFitted = FALSE,
  checkProcessed = FALSE,
  createMinimalSaveFile = FALSE,
  datasets,
  ...
)

Arguments

file

file saved by saveDatasets.

fittingFunctions

vector of fitDatasets functions that should be applied to each dataset.

saveFitted

logical, if true, the raw fits are also stored.

checkProcessed

logical, if true, will check whether the contents of the processed output is reproduced for the first dataset. This is useful to ensure that everything is still working as expected without having to re-run the whole simulation study.

createMinimalSaveFile

logical, if true, will create a file with the processed results of the first three datasets. This is helpful if one wants to store only the final aggregated results but still wants to make sure that the full code works as expected.

datasets

optional, datasets as stored in file, to avoid doing a detour of saving and loading the file.

...

passed on to processFit. Use this to control what to save.

Details

In case the raw fits may have to be inspected or processFit may be called with another set of arguments, then set saveFitted to TRUE. In that case, another file with the postfix “fitted” is created. Remove the files with postfix “processed” and run processFile again. The fits will not be re-done but instead loaded from the file with postfix “fitted”.

Value

The list of all processed results merged together.

To help reproduciblility, the output of toLatex(sessionInfo(), locale = FALSE) is stored in the sessionInfo attribute.
