get_dset.coin

A helper function to retrieve a named data set from the coin object. Also performs input checks at the
same time.

A comprehensive high-level package, for composite indicator construction and analysis. It is a "development environment"
for composite indicators and scoreboards, which includes utilities for construction (indicator selection, denomination, imputation,
data treatment, normalisation, weighting and aggregation) and analysis (multivariate analysis, correlation plotting, short cuts for
principal component analysis, global sensitivity analysis, and more). A composite indicator is completely encapsulated inside a single
hierarchical list called a "coin". This allows a fast and efficient work flow, as well as making quick copies, testing methodological variations and making comparisons.
It also includes many plotting options, both statistical (scatter plots, distribution plots) as well as for presenting results.

get_dset.coin function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>A coin class object</dd>
<dt>dset</dt>
<dd>A character string corresponding to a named data set within <code>.$Data</code>. E.g. <code>"Raw"</code>.</dd>
<dt>also_get</dt>
<dd>A character vector specifying any columns to attach to the data set that are not
indicators or aggregates. These will be e.g. <code>uName</code>, groups, denominators or columns labelled as "Other"
in <code>iMeta</code>. These columns are stored in <code>.$Meta$Unit</code> to avoid repetition. Set <code>also_get = "all"</code> to
attach all columns, or set <code>also_get = "none"</code> to return only numeric columns, i.e. no <code>uCode</code> column.</dd>
