Canonical text form of a population specification

Used to detect that the specification itself changed between runs, which makes a threshold comparison meaningless: a population defined differently is a different population, however similar its frequency.

Usage

spec_fingerprint(spec)

Arguments

spec

population specification

Value

named character vector, one canonical string per population

Details

The full text is stored rather than a hash, so a mismatch can name the population that changed instead of only asserting that something did.
