Extend an FLQuant along the iter dimension

Description

FLR objects with a single iteration (length of 1 in the sixth dimension) can be extended using the propagate method. The type argument selects whether the new iterations are filled with the content of the first iteration (type='all') or left empty (type='first').

For objects of class FLPar-class, propagate will extend the object along the last dimension, iter. The fill.iter argument defaults to FALSE, in contrast with FLQuant. Objects do not need to have iter=1 to be extended, but only if fill.iter=FALSE.

Generic function

propagate(object)

Arguments

object :

An FLR object to extend.

fill.iter :

Copy the first iteration along the new ones ('TRUE'), the default, or leave them empty ('FALSE').

iter :

Number of iterations.

Methods

signature(object=FLQuant) :

Extends object along the iter dimension

signature(object=FLPar) :

Extends object along the iter dimension

signature(object=FLComp) :

Extends all FLQuant-class slots in the object along the iter dimension

signature(object=FLMetier) :

Extends all FLQuant-class slots in the object along the iter dimension, as well as those of those objects of class FLCatch-class inside the catches slot

signature(object=FLFleet) :

Extends all FLQuant-class slots in the object along the iter dimension, as well as those of those objects of class FLMetier-class inside the metiers slot

signature(object=FLPar) :

Extends object along the iter dimension

Examples

flq <- FLQuant(rnorm(50), dim=c(5,10))
propagate(flq, 10)
# Look at the 
summary(propagate(flq, 10, fill.iter=FALSE))

flp <- FLPar(1:10, params=letters[1:10])
propagate(flp, 10)
propagate(flp, 10, fill.iter=TRUE)

flp <- FLPar(1:15, params=letters[1:5], iter=3)
propagate(flp, 10)
