CFcomplete: Indicates if the time series is complete
Description
This function indicates if the time series is complete, meaning that the time
steps are equally spaced and there are thus no gaps in the time series.
Usage
CFcomplete(x)
Value
logical. TRUE if the time series is complete, with no gaps;
FALSE otherwise. If no offsets have been added to the CFtime instance,
NA is returned.
Arguments
x
An instance of the CFtime class
Details
This function gives exact results for time series where the nominal
unit of separation between observations in the time series is exact in terms of the
datum unit. As an example, for a datum unit of "days" where the observations
are spaced a fixed number of days apart the result is exact, but if the same
datum unit is used for data that is on monthly a basis, the assessment is
approximate because the number of days per month is variable and dependent on
the calendar (the exception being the 360_day calendar, where the
assessment is exact). The result is still correct in most cases (including
all CF-compliant data sets that the developers have seen) although
there may be esoteric constructions of CFtime and offsets that trip up this
implementation.
