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.
