Details

It is assumed that data is a list containing mixed frequency data. Then given the indexes of the low frequency data the function splits the data into two subsets.

Examples

#Monthly data
x <- 1:24
#Quartely data
z <- 1:8
#Yearly data
y <- 1:2
split_data(list(y=y,x=x,z=z),insample=1,outsample=2)
