Write a Pmetrics .csv Matrix File

This function is largely superseded as the function is accessed with the $write() method for PM_data objects. There is rarely a need to call it directly. It is the companion function to PMreadMatrix. It will write an appropriate R data object to a formatted .csv file.

Usage

PMwriteMatrix(data, filename, override = F, version = "DEC_11", header = T)

Arguments

data: Must be a data.frame with appropriate structure (see PMcheck).
filename: Name of file to create.
override: Boolean operator to write even if errors are detected. Default is FALSE.
version: Which matrix data format version to write. Default is the current version.
header: Is there a header row? Default is TRUE.

Value

Returns the error report (see PMcheck for details).

Details

PMwriteMatrix will first run PMcheck to determine if there are any errors in the structure of data. If the error check fails, the file will not be written and a message will be printed on the console.
