anaSamper: analyzing sampling periods and gaps

Description

Time series need to have a homogeneous sampling period for most calculations.This function divides a time series in homogeneous-sampling-period pieces that contain either observations or NAs.This information allows to decide how to resample the time series. Note that it also provides a list of gaps.

Details

Once chosen the time serie to analyze, KarsTS offers a list of possible sampling periods (time jumps in the time series), but a human decision is necessary to separate safely true sampling periods from gaps.Tipically, time jumps correspoding to sampling periods appear many times.

Value

A table containing the aforementioned information appears on KarsTS output window.
