getAllTimeOptions: generate all possible time options from eligible time points and number of samples per time interval ( time zone )

Description

generate all possible time options from eligible time points and number of samples per time interval ( time zone )

Usage

getAllTimeOptions(timeZones, fullTimePoints)

Arguments

timeZones

a data.frame containing information on the number of points to be chosen in each time zone. Each row is a time zone.

• startTime the start time of each time zone assumed to be included in that zone

• endTime the end time of the zone. It is not part of the current zone but the start time of the next zone

• nPointsPerZone the number of time points to be chosen within each zone.

fullTimePoints

a numeric vector containing all possible time points to be considered including time point zero and the last time point

Value

SetOfTimePoints-class

Details

time point zero is never included in any time option and the last time point is always included. Note that the last time point is not a member of any zone. The number of time points in every time options is therefore the total number of time points specified in timeZone plus 1 for the last time point.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  timeZonesEx              <-  getExampleTimeZones()
  fullTimePointsEx         <-  seq( 0 , 21 , 1 )
  print(timeZonesEx)
  setOfTimePoints          <-  getAllTimeOptions( timeZones = timeZonesEx , 
     fullTimePoints = fullTimePointsEx )
  setOfTimePoints          <-  getAllTimeOptions( 
    timeZones = data.frame(startTime = 0 , endTime = 21 , nPointsPerZone = 1) , 
    fullTimePoints = fullTimePointsEx 
   )
