get_dset.purse

A helper function to retrieve a named data set from a purse object. Retrieves the specified data set
from each coin in the purse and joins them together in a single data frame using <code><a href="/link/rbind()?package=COINr&version=1.1.14" data-mini-rdoc="COINr::rbind()">rbind()</a></code>, indexed
with a <code>Time</code> column.

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.
