Check if two parameters are equal with respect to certain properties.

Usage

isParametersEqual(
  parameter1,
  parameter2,
  checkFormulaValues = FALSE,
  compareFormulasByValue = FALSE
)

Arguments

parameter1: First parameter to compare
parameter2: Second parameter to compare
checkFormulaValues: If TRUE, values of explicit formulas are always compared. Otherwise, the values are only compared if the formulas are overridden (isFixedValue == TRUE). FALSE by default.
compareFormulasByValue: If FALSE(default), formulas are compared by their types and string. If TRUE, only values are compared.

Value

TRUE if parameters are considered equal, FALSE otherwise

Details

The parameters are not equal if: The paths of the parameters are not equal; The types of the formulas differ (types checked: isConstant, isDistributed, isExplicit, isTable); Constant formulas have different values; Distributed formulas have different values (not checking for distribution) Explicit formulas: If formula string are not equal, OR one of the parameter values is fixed (formula is overridden), OR both parameter values are fixed and differ, OR checkFormulaValues is TRUE and the values differ (disregarding of overridden or not) Table formulas: If the number of points differ, OR any of the points differ, OR one of the parameter values is fixed (formula is overridden), OR both parameter values are fixed and differ.
