date_stamp(n, random = FALSE, x = NULL, start = Sys.Date(), k = 12,
by = "-1 months", prob = NULL, name = "Date")
Arguments
n
The number elements to generate. This can be globally set within
the environment of r_data_frame or r_list.
random
logical. If TRUE the dates are randomized, otherwise the
dates are sequential.
x
A vector of elements to chose from. This may be NULL if
arguments are supplied to start, k, and by. The
x argument takes precedence over the other three if !is.null.
Note that start, k, and by work together to make a
vector of dates to sample from. See seq.Date for
additional information.
start
A date to start the sequence at.
k
The length of the sequence (number of the elements) so build out from
start.
by
The interval to use in building the sequence.
prob
A vector of probabilities to chose from.
name
The name to assign to the output vector's varname
attribute. This is used to auto assign names to the column/vector name when
used inside of r_data_frame or r_list.
