moveYr: Seasonal years

In BIOdry: Multilevel Modeling of Dendroclimatical Fluctuations

Seasonal years

Description

Monthly records in time-series replicates (usually of climate) are labeled for the years can begin in a month other than January.

Usage

moveYr(cd, ini.mnt = "Oct")

Arguments

cd	data.frame. Multilevel ecological data series or numeric vector of repeated years with vector names belonging to month.abb.
ini.mnt	character, or numeric from 1 to 12. Initial month of the seasonal year. If character then the months are built-in constants in R-package base. Default 'Oct' makes the years begin in October, for example.

Details

character months as defined in month.abb or month.name.

Value

Examples

## Climatic records of monthly precipitation sums and monthly
## average temperatures
data(PTclim05,envir = environment())

## Making the year 1955 in plot 'P16106' to begin on 'April'
cl1 <- slitFrame(PTclim05,c('year','plot'))[[1]]
cl2 <- moveYr(cl1,ini.mnt = 'Mar')
head(cl2)

## a simple vector of years
yr <- rep(2005,12)
names(yr) <- month.abb[1:12]
moveYr(yr)
