q.fnames

Change factor names in the results of Q methodology analysis

Description

This function replaces the automatic names created in an object of Q method results returned by qmethod.

Usage

q.fnames(results, fnames)

Arguments

results

an object of class QmethodRes.
fnames

a vector with the names of the factors. The number of names provided has to match the number of factors extracted in the object results. The names cannot begin with a number. A limit of 50 characters is set, to avoid excessively wide columns. Names should ideally contain no spaces or symbols that are used for other purposes in R (e.g. '-', '+', '/' , ). However '.' are fine.

Value

Returns the object results of class QmethodRes, with the new factor names.
