generator: Generate a time series containing a Visual Charting Pattern.
In rpatrec: Recognising Visual Charting Patterns in Time Series Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

This function lets you generate any pattern you specify in the parameters. For known definitions, either check the examples or the vignettes. This is mainly used to test either your own or this smoothing and recognition function.

generator(start = 0, dlength = 100, tot.spread = 100, presig = 0,
  postsig = 0, plength = 0, parts = c(15, 25, 50, 75, 85), sprd = c(50,
  25, 100, 25, 50))

`start`	Starting value
`dlength`	Integer. Length of the signal part of the time series
`tot.spread`	Integer. Difference between the lowest and highest value of the time series
`presig`	Integer. Length of the pre-signal part of the time series
`postsig`	Integer. Length of the post-signal part of the time series
`plength`	No longer needed, kept for compatability. Set to 0.
`parts`	Vector of Integers. Must be the same length as `sprd` Defines how far the extrema lie apart from another (in percent) PREVIOUSLY: Vector must contain plength + 2 elements, the first element being 0 and the last 100.
`sprd`	Vector of Integers. Must be the same length as `parts` Defines the value of the extrema in percent of `tot.spread` in relation to `start`. PREVIOUSLY: Vector must contain plength + 2 elements, the first and last elemnt should be 0.
