In gamalamboy/stresstest: Implement the ETI Stress Testing Simulation

Description

This function takes an input path, reads the file with read.csv, and creates a zoo object with the specified time sequence.

Usage

.DataInput(inputfile, start = 1992, end = 2016, freq = 1, transf = NULL)

Arguments

inputfile	a character string indicating the path of the file to be read.
start	the start date. Should be inserted as in ts.
end	the end date.
freq	the frequency for the time interval.
transf	an optional transformation to be given to the data before creating the zoo object.

Details

The function only accepts data with either numeric, logical, or integer values. It also adds an extra column "i0" to be used for constructing the model intercepts. If there are more end years than data, the function pads the additional rows with NA's. This interface is called by the forecasting functions when creating the Bayesian samples.

Value

a zoo object.
