timeDate (version 3043.102)

blockStart: Equally sized 'timeDate' Blocks

Description

Creates start (end) dates for equally sized 'timeDate' blocks.

Usage

blockStart(x, block = 20)
blockEnd(x, block = 20)

Value

returns an object of class "timeDate".

Arguments

block

an integer value specifying the length in number of records for numerically sized blocks of dates.

x

an object of class timeDate.

Details

The functions blockStart and blockEnd create vectors of start and end values for equally sized 'timeDate' blocks. Note, the functions are event counters and not a time counter between measuring time intervals between start and end dates! For equally sized blocks in time one has before to align the time stamps in equal time differences.

Examples

## timeSequence
   # 360 Days Series:
   tS <- timeSequence(length.out = 360)
    
## blockStart | blockEnd -
   Start <- blockStart(tS, 30)
   End <- blockEnd(tS, 30)
   Start
   End
   End-Start
