R Documentation

Tsp Attribute of Time-Series-like Objects

Description

tsp returns the tsp attribute (or NULL). It is included for compatibility with S version 2. tsp<- sets the tsp attribute. hasTsp ensures x has a tsp attribute, by adding one if needed.

Usage

tsp(x)
tsp(x) <- value
hasTsp(x)

Arguments

x	a vector or matrix or univariate or multivariate time-series.
value	a numeric vector of length 3 or NULL.

Details

The tsp attribute gives the start time in time units, the end time and the frequency (the number of observations per unit of time, e.g. 12 for a monthly series).

Assignments are checked for consistency.

Assigning NULL which removes the tsp attribute and any "ts" (or "mts") class of x.

Value

An object which differs from x only in the tsp attribute (unless NULL is assigned).

hasTsp adds, if needed, an attribute with a start time and frequency of 1 and end time NROW(x).
