STSDF-class: Class "STSDF"

In spacetime: Classes and Methods for Spatio-Temporal Data

Class "STSDF"

Description

A class for spatio-temporal data with partial space-time grids; for n spatial locations and m times, an index table is kept for which nodes observations are available

Usage

  STS(sp, time, index, endTime = delta(time))
  STSDF(sp, time, data, index, endTime = delta(time))
  ## S4 method for signature 'STSDF'
x[i, j, ..., drop = is(x, "STSDF")]
  ## S4 method for signature 'STSDF,STFDF'
coerce(from, to, strict=TRUE)
  ## S4 method for signature 'STSDF,STIDF'
coerce(from, to, strict=TRUE)

Arguments

sp	object of class Spatial
time	object holding time information; see ST-class
data	data frame with rows corresponding to the observations (spatial index moving faster than temporal)
index	two-column matrix: rows corresponding to the nodes for which observations are available, first column giving spatial index, second column giving temporal index
endTime	vector of class POSIXct with end points of time intervals for the observations
x	an object of class STFDF
i	selection of spatial entities
j	selection of temporal entities (see syntax in package xts)
...	selection of attribute(s)
drop	if TRUE and a single spatial entity is selected, an object of class xts is returned; if TRUE and a single temporal entity is selected, and object of the appropriate Spatial class is returned; if FALSE, no coercion to reduced classes takes place
from	object of class STFDF
to	target class
strict	ignored

Objects from the Class

Objects of this class carry sparse space/time grid data

Slots

sp:

Object of class "Spatial"

time:

Object holding time information; see ST-class for permitted types

index:

matrix of dimension n x 2, where n matches the number of rows in slot data

data:

Object of class data.frame, which holds the measured values

Methods

[

signature(x = "STSDF"): selects spatial entities, temporal entities, and attributes

plot

signature(x = "STS", y = "missing"): plots space-time layout

plot

signature(x = "STSDF", y = "missing"): plots space-time layout, indicating records partially NA

Examples

sp = cbind(x = c(0,0,1), y = c(0,1,1))
row.names(sp) = paste("point", 1:nrow(sp), sep="")
library(sp)
sp = SpatialPoints(sp)
library(xts)
time = xts(1:4, as.POSIXct("2010-08-05")+3600*(10:13))
m = c(10,20,30) # means for each of the 3 point locations
mydata = rnorm(length(sp)*length(time),mean=rep(m, 4))
IDs = paste("ID",1:length(mydata))
mydata = data.frame(values = signif(mydata,3), ID=IDs)
stfdf = STFDF(sp, time, mydata)

# examples for [[, [[<-, $ and $<- 
stsdf[[1]]
