| window {stats} | R Documentation |
window is a generic function which
extracts the subset of the object x
observed between the times start and end. If a
frequency is specified, the series is then re-sampled at the new
frequency.
window(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ts':
window(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
window(x, start = NULL, end = NULL,
frequency = NULL, deltat = NULL, extend = FALSE, ...)
x |
a time-series or other object. |
start |
the start time of the period of interest. |
end |
the end time of the period of interest. |
frequency, deltat |
the new frequency can be specified by either (or both if they are consistent). |
extend |
logical. If true, the start and end values
are allowed to extend the series. If false, attempts to extend the
series give a warning and are ignored. |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
The start and end times can be specified as for ts. If
there is no observation at the new start or end,
the immediately following (start) or preceding (end)
observation time is used.
The value depends on the method. window.default will return a
vector or matrix with an appropriate tsp attribute.
window.ts differs from window.default only in
ensuring the result is a ts object.
If extend = TRUE the series will be padded with NA if
needed.
