ts_acceleration_vec: Vector Function Time Series Acceleration

Description

Takes a numeric vector and will return the acceleration of that vector.

Usage

ts_acceleration_vec(.x)

Value

A numeric vector

Arguments

.x

A numeric vector

Author

Steven P. Sanderson II, MPH

Details

Takes a numeric vector and will return the acceleration of that vector. The acceleration of a time series is computed by taking the second difference, so $$(x_t - x_t1) - (x_t - x_t1)_t1$$

This function can be used on it's own. It is also the basis for the function ts_acceleration_augment().
