common.interval: Common Interval

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

View source: R/common.interval.R

Description

This function finds the common interval on a set of tree-ring widths such as that produced by read.rwl.

Usage

1
2
common.interval(rwl, type=c("series", "years", "both"),
                make.plot=TRUE)

Arguments

rwl

a data.frame of ring widths with rownames(x) containing years and colnames(x) containing each series ID such as produced by read.rwl

type

a character string of "series", "years", or "both". Argument matching is performed.

make.plot

a logical indicating if a plot should be drawn

Details

This trims an rwl object to a common interval that maximizes the number of series (type="series"), the number of years (type="years"), or a compromise between the two (type="both"). A modified seg.plot can be drawn as well.

Value

A data.frame with colnames(x) and rownames(x).

dim.y       # the highest number of years

dim.b <- dim(co021.b)
