\HeaderA{join}{Combine list elements returned by the method classification}{join}
\keyword{multivariate}{join}
\begin{Description}\relax
The method \code{classification}  returns a list of
class \code{\LinkA{cloutput}{cloutput}} or \code{\LinkA{clvarseloutput}{clvarseloutput}}.
It is often more convenient to work with an object of class
\code{\LinkA{cloutput}{cloutput}} instead with a whole list, e.g.
because the convenience method defined for that class can
be used.

For S4 method information, s. \code{\LinkA{join-methods}{join.Rdash.methods}}
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
join(cloutputlist)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{cloutputlist}] A list of objects of classes \code{\LinkA{cloutput}{cloutput}}
or \code{\LinkA{clvarseloutput}{clvarseloutput}}, usually that
returned by a call to the method \code{\LinkA{classification}{classification}}.
The only requirement for a succesful join is that the
used dataset and classfier are the same for each
list element.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Value}
An object of class \code{\LinkA{cloutput}{cloutput}}.
\bold{warning:}If the elements of
\code{cloutputlist} have originally been of class \code{\LinkA{clvarseloutput}{clvarseloutput}},
the slot \code{varsel} will be dropped !
\end{Value}
\begin{Note}\relax
The result of the \code{join} method is incompatible with the methods
\code{\LinkA{evaluation}{evaluation}}, \code{\LinkA{compare}{compare}}. These require the lists returned by
\code{\LinkA{classification}{classification}}.
