Bind Two or More Time Series

Description

Bind time series which have a common frequency. ts.union pads with NAs to the total time coverage, ts.intersect restricts to the time covered by all the series.

As a special case, ... can contain vectors or matrices of the same length as the combined time series of the time series present, as well as those of a single row.

Usage

ts.intersect(..., dframe=FALSE)
ts.union(..., dframe=FALSE)
cbind.ts(..., dframe=FALSE, union=TRUE)

Arguments

...

Two or more univariate or multivariate time series, or objects which can coerced to time series.

dframe

If TRUE return the result as a data frame.

union

Act as ts.union or ts.intersect.

Value

A time series object if dframe is FALSE, otherwise a data frame.

Examples

data(UKLungDeaths)
ts.union(mdeaths, fdeaths)
cbind(mdeaths, fdeaths) # same as the previous line
ts.intersect(window(mdeaths, 1976), window(fdeaths, 1974, 1978))
data(BJsales)
sales1 <- ts.union(BJsales, lead=BJsales.lead)
ts.intersect(sales1, lead3=lag(BJsales.lead, -3))
