tsibble (version 1.1.5)

filter_index: A shorthand for filtering time index for a tsibble

Description

This shorthand respects time zones and encourages compact expressions.

Usage

filter_index(.data, ..., .preserve = FALSE)

Arguments

.data

A tsibble.

...

Formulas that specify start and end periods (inclusive), or strings.

• ~ end or . ~ end: from the very beginning to a specified ending period.

• start ~ end: from specified beginning to ending periods.

• start ~ .: from a specified beginning to the very end of the data. Supported index type: POSIXct (to seconds), Date, yearweek, yearmonth/yearmon, yearquarter/yearqtr, hms/difftime & numeric.

.preserve

Relevant when the .data input is grouped. If .preserve = FALSE (the default), the grouping structure is recalculated based on the resulting data, otherwise the grouping is kept as is.

System Time Zone ("Europe/London")

There is a known issue of an extra hour gained for a machine setting time zone to "Europe/London", regardless of the time zone associated with the POSIXct inputs. It relates to anytime and Boost. Use Sys.timezone() to check if the system time zone is "Europe/London". It would be recommended to change the global environment "TZ" to other equivalent names: GB, GB-Eire, Europe/Belfast, Europe/Guernsey, Europe/Isle_of_Man and Europe/Jersey as documented in ?Sys.timezone(), using Sys.setenv(TZ = "GB") for example.

Examples

# from the starting time to the end of Feb, 2015
pedestrian %>%
  filter_index(~ "2015-02")

# entire Feb 2015, & from the beginning of Aug 2016 to the end
pedestrian %>%
  filter_index("2015-02", "2016-08" ~ .)

# multiple time windows
pedestrian %>%
  filter_index(~"2015-02", "2015-08" ~ "2015-09", "2015-12" ~ "2016-02")

# entire 2015
pedestrian %>%
  filter_index("2015")

# specific
pedestrian %>%
  filter_index("2015-03-23" ~ "2015-10")
