deparse.level

Details

Implemented in C, these functions bind xts objects by row, resulting in another xts object

There may be non-unique index values in either the original series, or the resultant series.

Identical indexed series are bound in the order or the arguments passed to rbind. See examples.

All objects must have the same number of columns, as well as be xts objects or coercible to such.

rbind and c are aliases.

For traditional merge operations, see merge.xts and cbind.xts.

Examples

x <- xts(1:10, Sys.Date()+1:10)
str(x)

merge(x,x)
rbind(x,x)
rbind(x[1:5],x[6:10])

c(x,x)

# this also works on non-unique index values
x <- xts(rep(1,5), Sys.Date()+c(1,2,2,2,3))
y <- xts(rep(2,3), Sys.Date()+c(1,2,3))

# overlapping indexes are appended
rbind(x,y)
rbind(y,x)
