Hello,
I have a zoo time series read from an excel file which has some dates
the same, such as the following example:
02/10/1995 4925.5
30/10/1995 4915.9
23/01/1996 4963.5
23/01/1996 5009.2
04/03/1996 5031.9 # here
04/03/1996 5006.5 # here
03/04/1996 5069.2
03/05/1996 5103.7
31/05/1996 5107.1
01/07/1996 5153.1
02/08/1996 5151.7
Is there a simple way to keep the last price of the ones that have the
same dates?
04/03/1996 5031.9
04/03/1996 5006.5
i.e., keep only the "04/03/1996 5006.5" price and discard the
previous one... Is there an implicit function that does that or do I
need some sort of recursive algorithm?
You can try a solution on this example (for convenience):
x.Date <- as.Date("2003-02-01") + c(1, 3, 7, 7, 14) - 1
x <- zoo(rnorm(5), x.Date)
Zoo object has 2 prices with same dates.
Many thanks in advance,
Costas
