Calculate piecewise steps

Description

This helper function streamlines the calculation of piecewise steps. This may be useful when specifying random walks, AR processes, etc.

Usage

piecewise_steps(t, step, offset = 0, steps_post_offset = TRUE)

Arguments

t	Integer, the timespan over which to calculate steps
step	Integer, the frequency at which to step.
offset	Integer, the amount to offset steps. This can be used to index steps from this index.
steps_post_offset	Logical, defaults to TRUE. Should steps be added after the offset.

Value

A list containing two elements: n (the number of steps) and steps the location of steps as a binary variable.
