This function returns a data.frame that contains information about the join operations. Although this function performs the join process, it only returns an overview table, not the actual joined data.

mc_info_join(data, comp_sensors = NULL)

Arguments

data

myClim object in Raw-format. see myClim-package

comp_sensors

parameter for mc_join() function (default NULL)

Value

A data.frame with the following columns:

  • locality_id - The ID of the locality.

  • count_loggers - Number of loggers before the join operation.

  • count_joined_loggers - Number of loggers after the join operation.

  • count_data_conflicts - Number of different values in overlapping sensors.

  • count_errors - Number of join-related errors. An error occurs when all sensors of the loggers have different names.

Details

This function is designed to work only with myClim objects in Raw-format, where the loggers are organized at localities. In Agg-format, myClim objects do not support loggers; sensors are directly connected to the locality. See myClim-package. mc_info_join does not work in Agg-format.
