| time {stats} | R Documentation |
time creates the vector of times at which a time series was sampled.
cycle gives the positions in the cycle of each observation.
frequency returns the number of samples per unit time and
deltat the time interval between observations (see
ts).
time(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
time(x, offset=0, ...)
cycle(x, ...)
frequency(x, ...)
deltat(x, ...)
x |
a univariate or multivariate time-series, or a vector or matrix. |
offset |
can be used to indicate when sampling took place
in the time unit. |
... |
extra arguments for future methods. |
These are all generic functions, which will use the
tsp attribute of x if it exists. time
and cycle have methods for class ts that coerce
the result to that class.
