Get Time Features from Zoo Objects

This function generates a data frame summarizing the time features (class, length, resolution, and others) of zoo time series.

Usage

zoo_time(x = NULL, keywords = c("resample", "aggregate"))

Arguments

x

(required, zoo object) Zoo time series to analyze. Default: NULL.

keywords

(optional, character string or vector) Defines what keywords are returned. If "aggregate", returns valid keywords for zoo_aggregate(). If "resample", returns valid keywords for zoo_resample(). If both, returns all valid keywords. Default: c("aggregate", "resample").

Value

Data frame with the following columns:

• name (string): time series name.

• rows (integer): number of observations.

• class (string): time class, one of "Date", "POSIXct", or "numeric."

• units (string): units of the time series.

• length (numeric): total length of the time series expressed in units.

• resolution (numeric): average interval between observations expressed in units.

• begin (date or numeric): begin time of the time series.

• end (date or numeric): end time of the time series.

• keywords (character vector): valid keywords for tsl_aggregate() or tsl_resample(), depending on the value of the argument keywords.
