mts_trimDate {MazamaTimeSeries}

Trim mts time series object to full days

Description

Trims the date range of an mts object to local time date boundaries which are within the time range of the mts object. This has the effect of removing partial-day data records at the start and end of the timeseries and is useful when calculating full-day statistics.

By default, multi-day periods of all-missing data at the beginning and end of the timeseries are removed before trimming to date boundaries. If trimEmptyDays = FALSE all records are retained except for partial days beyond the first and after the last date boundary.

Day boundaries are calculated using the specified timezone or, if NULL, mts$meta$timezone. Leaving timezone = NULL, the default, results in "local time" date filtering which is the most common use case.

Usage

mts_trimDate(mts = NULL, timezone = NULL, trimEmptyDays = TRUE)

Arguments

mts

mts object.

timezone

Olson timezone used to interpret dates.

trimEmptyDays

Logical specifying whether to remove days with no data at the beginning and end of the time range.

Value

A subset of the incoming mts time series object. (A list with meta and data dataframes.)

Examples

library(MazamaTimeSeries)

UTC_week <- mts_filterDate(
  example_mts,
  startdate = 20190703,
  enddate = 20190706,
  timezone = "UTC"
)

# UTC day boundaries
range(UTC_week$data$datetime)

# Trim to local time day boundaries
local_week <- mts_trimDate(UTC_week)
range(local_week$data$datetime)
