tspar(x) tspar(x) <- value
"rts",
"cts", or
"its".
tspar attribute of
x. For regular time
series, the
tspar attribute is a vector of length three giving the starting
time (
start), the time interval (
deltat) between observations, and the
frequency of the observations (
frequency). For calendar time series,
the
tspar is a list of length four giving the starting
time (
start), the units (
units) of the interval between
observations, a multiplier (
k.units) for the case when there are
more than one units of time between observations,
and the number of observations in a sampling cycle (
frequency).
For an irregular time series,
the
tspar attribute is a numeric vector or vector of dates giving
the sampling times for all observations.
tspar attribute of a regular (
rts) or irregular (
its) time
series may itself have an attribute
"units" giving the units in
which the interval between observations is measured. The
tspar
function returns this attribute if it exists.
To delete the
tspar attribute of a time series object
x, set its value
explicitly to NULL :
tspar(x) <- NULL.
The
tspar function is generic, although it currently has no methods defined
for it. The
tspar<- function is generic, and will check correctness if
x
belongs to one of the time series classes.
x <- rts( as.factor(letters), start = c(0,5), freq = 7, units = "weeks") tspar(x) tspar(x) <- c( start = 1, deltat = 1/7, frequency = 7)
