In order for segregate() to work, the RepPop defined by the user must be formatted correctly. The function check_repop() checks the RepPop for errors that would result in errors while using segregate(). Specifically, it checks that you have three columns with the names ('index','pop', and 'group'), that the class of each column is correct, and that your indices (column 'index') starts with 1 and all other indices are in consecutive order.

This function will return an error message if reppop is not formatted properly. If no issues exist, a message will be returned stating that the reppop is formatted properly.
