multitable: Simultaneous manipulation of multiple arrays of data, with data.list objects

Many data sets do not easily fit into a single data frame. Storing such data in a single data frame often results in either large numbers of meaningless missing values or storage of redundant information; yet storing them in multiple data frames often results in long difficult-to-read workflows. The multitable package introduces a new data object called a data.list, which organises several data tables as a single R object. The primary goal of multitable is to provide a more intuitive framework for manipulating multiple-table data in R. As data.lists can be coerced to data.frames, they can be used with all R functions that accept an object that is coercible to a data.frame (e.g. lm; plot; lme; and many more).
