Description

[create_series()] allows the user to quickly create a 'tbl_time' object with a 'date' column populated with a sequence of dates.

create_series(time_formula, period = "daily", class = "POSIXct",
  include_end = FALSE, tz = "UTC", as_vector = FALSE)

Arguments

time_formula

A period to create the series over. This is specified as a formula. See the 'Details' section of [time_filter()] for more information.

period

A formula or character specification used for time-based grouping.

If a formula, e.g. '1~year', the formula is split and parsed to form the grouping period. The 'period' argument accepts a formula of the form 'multiple ~ period' allowing for flexible period grouping. The following are examples:

* 1 Year: '1~y' * 3 Months: '3~m' * 90 Days: '90~d'

Note that while shorthand is used above, an attempt is made to recognize more explicit period names such as:

* 2 Year: '2~year' / '2~years' / '2~yearly'

The 'period' argument also accepts characters that are converted to their corresponding periods. The following are accepted:

* '"yearly"' or '"y"' * '"quarterly"' or '"q"' * '"monthly"' or '"m"' * '"weekly"' or '"w"' * '"daily"' or '"d"' * '"hour"' or '"h"' * '"minute"' or '"M"' * '"second"' or '"s"'

include_end

Whether to always include the RHS of the 'time_formula' even if it does not match the regularly spaced index.

tz

Time zone of the new series.

force_class

Either '"Date"' or '"POSIXct"'. The default is to infer the simplest class required from the 'period' specified, but this will override that.

as_date_vector

Should the series be returned as a vector instead of a tibble?

# Second series for 2 minutes
create_series(2011-01-01 + 12:10:00 ~ 2011-01-01 + 12:12:00, 1~s)

# Force POSIXct class
create_series(~2013, 1~d, force_class = "POSIXct")
