This helper function computes lengths of fine-scale chunks in the hierarchical case.
compute_T_star(horizon, period, dates = NULL, seed = NULL)
An integer
vector of fine-scale chunk sizes.
The element controls$horizon
, i.e., an integer vector of length 2,
where the second entry can be NA_integer_
.
The element controls$period
, i.e. one of "w"
,
"m"
, "q"
, or "y"
.
A character
vector of dates of empirical fine-scale data (if any).
By default, dates = NULL
.
Set a seed for the simulation of flexible chunk lengths.
By default, seed = NULL
(i.e., no seed).
