umx_paste_names: umx_paste_names

Description

Helper to add suffixes to names: useful for expanding base names for variables (e.g. "bmi") into fully specified family-wise row names for variables c("bmi_T1", "bmi_T2") Use textConstant to add a constant like "_T" after each base variable name. This is then suffixed with e.g. "1", "2".

Usage

umx_paste_names(varNames, textConstant = "", suffixes = 1:2)

Arguments

varNames

a list of _base_ names, e.g c("bmi", "IQ")

textConstant

A string separating the name and the twin suffix, e.g. "_T" (default is "")

suffixes

a list of terminal suffixes differentiating the twins default = c("1", "2"))

Value

• - vector of suffixed var names, i.e., c("a_T1", "b_T1", "a_T2", "b_T2")
