signalSeries Class

DESCRIPTION:

The signalSeries class represents non-calendar time series and signal objects in S-PLUS.

SLOTS:

All of the slots except the last, units.position, come from the series object.

ARGUMENTS:

data
( ANY) the variable data, which can be any data object for which is.rectangular is T, such as a data.frame, matrix, or atomic vector.
positions
( positions) the x values for the variables, which must be of type positionsNumeric.
start.position
( positions) the starting x value.
end.position
( positions) the ending x value.
future.positions
( positions) future x values used for predictions.
units
( character) units for the data.
title
( character) title of the data set.
documentation
( character) user-supplied documentation.
attributes
( ANY) attributes slot for arbitrary use.
units.position
( character) units for the positions slot.

DETAILS:

The signalSeries class inherits from the series and seriesVirtualclasses. It has slots which hold x positions and variable data inherited from the seriesclass. A signalSeries object is valid only when the lengths of the positions and data match, the data is a rectangular object, and the positions slot holds a positionsNumeric object.

signalSeries FUNCTIONS:

Objects of class signalSeries can be created using the new function, in which case they are set up to be empty. Alternatively, they can be created using the signalSeries function. They can be subscripted and used in mathematical operations much like data frames or matrices.
