Check that a formula is proper

Check that formula is actually a formula and that the response and predictor variables are all included in data.

check_formula(data, formula)

Arguments

data

data	`data.frame` including [1] the time variable (indicated in `timename`), [2] the predictor variables (required by `formula`) and [3], the multinomial response variable (indicated in `formula`) as verified by `check_timename` and `check_formula`. Note that the response variables should be formatted as a `data.frame` object named as indicated by the `response` entry in the `control` list, such as `gamma` for a standard TS analysis on LDA output.
formula	`formula` to evaluate.

formula

formula to evaluate.

Value

An error message is thrown if formula is not proper, else NULL.

Examples

  data(rodents)
  document_term_table <- rodents$document_term_table
  document_covariate_table <- rodents$document_covariate_table
  LDA_models <- LDA_set(document_term_table, topics = 2)[[1]]
  data <- document_covariate_table
  data$gamma <- LDA_models@gamma
  check_formula(data, gamma ~ 1)
