Combine Two RDBES Raw Objects combines 2 RDBESDataObjects into a single RDBESDataObject by merging individual tables one by one

Usage

combineRDBESDataObjects(
  RDBESDataObject1,
  RDBESDataObject2,
  verbose = FALSE,
  strict = TRUE
)

Arguments

RDBESDataObject1

The first object to combine

RDBESDataObject2

The second object to combine

verbose

(Optional) Set to TRUE if you want informative text printed out, or FALSE if you don't. The default is FALSE.

strict

(Optional) This function validates its input data - should the validation be strict? The default is TRUE.

Value

the combination of RDBESDataObject1 and RDBESDataObject2

Details

When combining RDBESDataObjects from different hierarchies (e.g., H1 and H5), a warning is issued. The resulting combined object will have a mixed hierarchy, which may be structurally and statistically invalid for some analyses. However, such combinations can be useful for fisheries overviews, annual reports, or countries performing broader estimations.

myH1RawObject <-
    importRDBESDataCSV(rdbesExtractPath = "tests\\testthat\\h1_v_1_19")
myH5RawObject <-
    importRDBESDataCSV(rdbesExtractPath = "tests\\testthat\\h5_v_1_19")

myCombinedRawObject <- combineRDBESDataObjects(RDBESDataObject1=myH1RawObject,
                                             RDBESDataObject2=myH5RawObject)
