rts (version 1.0-12)

endpoints: Locate endpoints by time

Description

Extract index values of a given Raster*TS object corresponding to the last observations given a period specified by on.

Usage

endpoints(x, on="months", k=1)

Arguments

x

a raster time series (Raster*TS) object created by rts

on

the periods endpoints to find as a character string

k

along every k-th element - see notes

Value

A numeric vector of endpoints beginning with 0 and ending with a value equal to the number of raster layers in the x argument.

Details

This function is, indeed, endpoints in xts that works with Raster*TS objects. It returns a numeric vector corresponding to the last observation in each period specified by on, with a zero added to the beginning of the vector, and the index of the last raster in x at the end.

Valid values for the argument on include: “us” (microseconds), “microseconds”, “ms” (milliseconds), “milliseconds”, “secs” (seconds), “seconds”, “mins” (minutes), “minutes”, “hours”, “days”, “weeks”, “months”, “quarters”, and “years”.
