new.name
Obtain a name for a new variable that is not already in use
Description
gamm
works by transforming a GAMM into something that can be estimated by lme
, but this involves creating new variables, the names of which should not clash with the names of other variables on which the model depends. This simple service routine checks a suggested name against a list of those in use, and if neccesary modifies it so that there is no clash.
Usage
new.name(proposed,old.names)
Arguments
proposed | a suggested name |
old.names | An array of names that must not be duplicated |
Value
A name that is not in old.names
.
