mark model objects
(type=NULL) or names of mark model objects
of a specific type (type) are extracted from a
vector of R objects (lx) that was collected from
the parent environment (frame) of the function that calls
collect.model.names. Thus, it is two frames back
(parent.frame(2)).collect.model.names(lx, type = NULL, warning = TRUE)mark model namestype=NULL then the names of all objects of
class(x)[1]="mark" in lx are returned. If
type is specified, then the names of all objects
of class(x)=c("mark",type) in lx are
returned.
This function was written with the intention that it
would be called from other functions ( e.g.,
collect.models, run.models)
but it will work if called directly (e.g.,
collect.model.names( lx=ls())). While this
function returns a vector of model names,
collect.models returns a list of model
objects. The latter can be used to easily create a list
of models created in a function to be used as a return
value without listing all the names of the functions. It
uses collect.model.names to perform that function.collect.models, run.models,
