checkStrictOrder {wrMisc}

Check for strict (ascencing or descending) order

Description

checkStrictOrder tests lines of 'dat' (matrix of data.frame) for strict order (ascending, descending or constant), each col of data is tested relative to the col on its left.

Usage

checkStrictOrder(
  dat,
  invertCount = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

dat

matrix or data.frame

invertCount

(logical) inverse counting (ie return 0 for all elememts in order)

silent

(logical) suppress messages

debug

(logical) display additional messages for debugging

callFrom

(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced

Value

matrix with counts of up pairs, down pairs, equal-pairs, if 'invertCount'=TRUE all non-events are counted, ie a resulting 0 means that all columns are following the described characteristics (with variabale col-numbers easier to count)

Examples

set.seed(2005); mat1 <- rbind(matrix(round(runif(40),1),nc=4), rep(1,4))
checkStrictOrder(mat1); mat1[which(checkStrictOrder(mat1)[,2]==0),]
