def remove_columns(self, col_names=None):

This function will remove the all the columns within with names in
col_names from all the datasets in self.columnar_data.
Parameters
----------
col_names : string or list
The name or names of columns to be removed

def split_up_data_by_field(self, split_columns=None):
'''
This function will take in the split-columns list and and split the
data into separate arrays based on the list. For example, if one were
to pass in dbh1, dbh2, dbh3 three copies of the data would be
made, each being identical except that each would only contain one of
the instances of dbh. One could also pass [(dbh1, recr1), (dbh2, recr2),
(dbh3, recr3)]. All other fields in split_columns will be excluded
other than the fields within the tuple under consideration.
Parameters
----------
split_columns : list
a list of tuples specifying the columns by which to split the array
Notes
-----
Saves the split array as self.columnar_data.

'''
This function takes a list of column names to be changed and a name

Parameters
----------
change : list of tuples or strings
Each tuple or string contains column names. All the column names in
the first tuple will be changed to the first element in the
changed_to list and so on.
changed_to : list
A list of strings that contain the names that the columns in change
will be changed to.
Notes
-----
This function is useful if you would like to merge self.columnar_data
but the dtype.names are different.
