In vetools: Tools for Venezuelan Environmental Data

Description

Given a list of class Catalog, it completes each station's data in such a manner that all stations either start or end at the same time. Missing values for each station are estimated by calling the function fill.small.missing.

Usage

est.fill(collection, cut = c(1968, 3), at.start = T)

Arguments

collection	A list of class Catalog with member data of class ts with frequency 365.25.
cut	A vector designating the (year, month) that all stations will start.
at.start	Boolean value indicating whether the stations data should be completed from the start or the end.

Details

The purpose of this function is to have a common start and/or end dates for a given collection of stations. Suppose there are three stations in a collection, with span

range(col$data[[1]]) -> c(1981,4) to c(2013,3)
range(col$data[[2]]) -> c(1981,2) to c(2013,4)
range(col$data[[3]]) -> c(1981,3) to c(2013,5)

and would like to have them all start on (1981,2) and end on (2013,5). This funcion can achieve this task.

Value
