merge_pairs function

Merge two sets of pairs into one

## S3 method for class 'cluster_pairs'
merge_pairs(
  pairs1,
  pairs2,
  name = paste(pairs1$name, pairs2$name, sep = "+"),
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'cluster_pairs'
rbind(...)

merge_pairs(pairs1, pairs2, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pairs'
merge_pairs(pairs1, pairs2, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pairs'
rbind(...)

Arguments

• pairs1: the first set of pairs
• pairs2: the second set of pairs
• name: name of new object to assign the pairs to on the cluster nodes.
• ...: for rbind the pairs or cluster_pairs objects the need to be combined; for merge_pairs these are passed on to other methods.

Returns

Returns a pairs or cluster_pairs object where both sets of pairs are combined. Duplicate pairs are removed.

In case of merge_pairs.cluster_pairs, merge_pairs.pairs is called on each cluster node and the resulting pairs are assigned to name in the environment reclin_env.

Details

The function will give an error when the two sets of pairs have different values for attr(pairs1, "x") and attr(pairs1, "y"). When these attributes are missing the code will not generate an error; the user is then responsible for ensuring that the indices in pairs1 and pairs2

refer to the same datasets.
