timeDate (version 4041.110)

blockStart: Equally sized 'timeDate' blocks

Description

Creates start (end) dates for equally sized "timeDate" blocks.

Usage

blockStart(x, block = 20)
blockEnd(x, block = 20)

Value

an object of class "timeDate"

Arguments

block

an integer value specifying the length in number of records for numerically sized blocks of dates.

x

an object of class "timeDate".

Details

The functions blockStart and blockEnd create vectors of start and end values for equally sized "timeDate" blocks. Note, the functions are event counters and not a time counter between measuring time intervals between start and end dates! For equally sized blocks in time one has before to align the time stamps in equal time differences.

Examples

## timeSequence
# 360 Days Series:
tS <- timeSequence(to = "2022-09-23 09:39:23", length.out = 360)
    
## blockStart | blockEnd
Start <- blockStart(tS, 30)
End <- blockEnd(tS, 30)
Start
End
End - Start
