merge.DTSg: Merge two objects

In DTSg: A Class for Working with Time Series Data Based on 'data.table' and 'R6' with Largely Optional Reference Semantics

Merge two objects

Description

Joins two DTSg objects based on their .dateTime column. Their time zones and aggregated fields must match.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DTSg'
merge(x, y, ..., clone = getOption("DTSgClone"))

Arguments

x	A DTSg object (S3 method only).
y	A DTSg object or an object coercible to one. See new for further information.
...	Further arguments passed on to data.table::merge. As the by, by.x and by.y arguments can endanger the object's integrity, they are rejected.
clone	A logical specifying if the object shall be modified in place or if a deep clone (copy) shall be made beforehand.
