# S4 method for class 'SparrowResult,SparrowResult'
combine(x, y, rename.x = NULL, rename.y = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x: A SparrowResult object
y: A SparrowResult object
rename.x: A named vector that used to match resultNames(x) and remane them to something different. names(rename.x) should match whatever you want to change in resultNames(x), and the values are the new names of the result.
rename.y: Same as rename.x, but for the results in y.
...: more things

Value

A combined SparrowResult object

Details

When would you want to do that? Imagine a shiny app that drives sparrow. You might want to present the results of each analysis as they come "online", so you would run them independently and make them available to the user immediately after they each finish (ie. in combination with the promises package).

Examples

mg1 <- exampleSparrowResult()
mg2 <- exampleSparrowResult()
mgc <- combine(mg1, mg2)
