tsibble (version 0.7.0)

build_tsibble: Low-level constructor for a tsibble object

Description

build_tsibble() creates a tbl_ts object with more controls. It is useful for creating a tbl_ts internally inside a function, and it allows developers to determine if the time needs ordering and the interval needs calculating.

Usage

build_tsibble(x, key, index, index2, ordered = NULL, regular = TRUE,
  interval = NULL, validate = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A data.frame, tbl_df, tbl_ts, or other tabular objects.

key

Variable(s) that define unique time indices, used in conjunction with the helper id(). If a univariate time series (without an explicit key), simply call id().

index

A bare (or unquoted) variable to specify the time index variable.

index2

A candidate of index to update the index to a new one when index_by. By default, it's identical to index.

ordered

The default of NULL arranges the key variable(s) first and then index from past to future. TRUE suggests to skip the ordering as x in the correct order. FALSE also skips the ordering but gives a warning instead.

regular

Regular time interval (TRUE) or irregular (FALSE). The interval is determined by the greatest common divisor of index column, if TRUE.

interval

NULL computes the interval. Use the specified interval via new_interval() as is, if an class of interval is supplied.

validate

TRUE suggests to verify that each key or each combination of key variables leads to unique time indices (i.e. a valid tsibble). If you are sure that it's a valid input, specify FALSE to skip the checks.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
# Prepare `pedestrian` to use a new index `Date` ----
pedestrian %>%
  build_tsibble(
    key = key(.), index = !! index(.), index2 = Date, interval = interval(.)
  )
# }
