Given a list of class Catalog, it completes each station's data in such a manner that all stations either start or end at the same time. Missing values for each station are estimated by calling the function fill.small.missing.

Usage

est.fill(collection, cut = c(1968, 3), at.start = T)

Arguments

collection

A list of class Catalog with member data of class ts with frequency 365.25.

Details

The purpose of this function is to have a common start and/or end dates for a given collection of stations. Suppose there are three stations in a collection, with span

range(col$data[[1]]) -> c(1981,4) to c(2013,3)
range(col$data[[2]]) -> c(1981,2) to c(2013,4)
range(col$data[[3]]) -> c(1981,3) to c(2013,5)

and would like to have them all start on (1981,2) and end on (2013,5). This funcion can achieve this task.
