ts_index: Indices from Levels or Percentage Rates

In christophsax/tsbox: Class-Agnostic Time Series

Indices from Levels or Percentage Rates

Description

ts_index returns an indexed series, with value of 1 at the base date or range. ts_compound builds an index from percentage change rates, starting with 1 and compounding the rates.

Usage

ts_compound(x, denominator = 100)

ts_index(x, base = NULL)

Arguments

x	ts-boxable time series, an object of class ts, xts, zoo, zooreg, data.frame, data.table, tbl, tbl_ts, tbl_time, tis, irts or timeSeries.
denominator	positive number. Set equal to 1 if percentage change rate is given a decimal fraction
base	base date, character string, Date or POSIXct, at which the index is set to 1. If two dates are provided, the mean in the range is set equal to 1 (see examples).

Value

a ts-boxable object of the same class as x, i.e., an object of class ts, xts, zoo, zooreg, data.frame, data.table, tbl, tbl_ts, tbl_time, tis, irts or timeSeries.

Examples

x <- ts_pc(ts_c(fdeaths, mdeaths))
ts_compound(x)
y <- ts_df(ts_c(fdeaths, mdeaths))
ts_index(y, "1974-02-01")

ts_plot(
  `My Expert Knowledge` = ts_chain(
    mdeaths,
    ts_compound(ts_bind(ts_pc(mdeaths), 15, 23, 33))
  ),
  `So Far` = mdeaths,
  title = "A Very Manual Forecast"
)

# mean of 1974 = 1
ts_index(mdeaths, c("1974-01-01", "1974-12-31"))
