createDataMatrix: Create a Data Matrix

Description

Creates a data matrix from a STdata/STmodel object. Missing observations are marked as NA.

Usage

createDataMatrix(STdata = NULL, obs = STdata$obs$obs,
  date = STdata$obs$date, ID = STdata$obs$ID, subset = NULL)

Arguments

STdata

A STdata/STmodel object containing observations. Use either this or the obs, date, and ID inputs.

obs

A vector of observations.

date

A vector of observation times.

ID

A vector of observation locations.

subset

A subset of locations to extract the data matrix for. A warning is given for each name not found in ID.

Value

Returns a matrix with dimensions (number of timepoints)-by-(number of locations). Row and column names of the matrix are taken as ID and sort(unique(date)) respectively.
