consensus

Takes a consensus of several glmulti objects

Description

The function takes a list of glmulti objects and returns a new glmulti object. This object contains the best models found in all passed objects, with duplicates removed. Useful to bring back together the different parts of a parallelized exhaustive screen, or to make the consensus of several replicate genetic algorithms.

Usage

consensus(xs, confsetsize = NA, ...)

Arguments

`xs`	A list containing `glmulti` objects, or filenames from which `glmulti` objects can be read on the disk (typically `glmulti` objects that have been saved using `write` with `file="filename\|object"`).
`confsetsize`	The number of best models to be included in the consensus object. If `NA`, all available models are included.
`...`	Further arguments, allowing to write custom S4 methods for this generic.

Details

The name of the returned object is the name of the first object passed, with "consensus-" prepended. The params slot of the returned object is taken from the first object too. Note that if not all glmulti objects in xs do contain fitted model objects, then no model object will be included in the returned glmulti object.

Value

A standard object of class glmulti
