tk_get_timeseries {timetk}

Get date features from a time-series index

Description

Get date features from a time-series index

Usage

tk_get_timeseries_signature(idx)

tk_get_timeseries_summary(idx)

Arguments

idx

A time-series index that is a vector of dates or datetimes.

Details

tk_get_timeseries_signature decomposes the timeseries into commonly needed features such as numeric value, differences, year, month, day, day of week, day of month, day of year, hour, minute, second.

tk_get_timeseries_summary returns the summary returns the start, end, units, scale, and a "summary" of the timeseries differences in seconds including the minimum, 1st quartile, median, mean, 3rd quartile, and maximum frequency. The timeseries differences give the user a better picture of the index frequency so the user can understand the level of regularity or irregularity. A perfectly regular time series will have equal values in seconds for each metric. However, this is not often the case.

Important Note: These functions only work with time-based indexes in datetime, date, yearmon, and yearqtr values. Regularized dates cannot be decomposed.

Value

Returns a tibble object describing the timeseries.
