Interval constructor for a tsibble

Source: R/interval.R
new-interval.Rd

[Stable]

  • new_interval() creates an interval object.

  • gcd_interval() computes the greatest common divisor for the difference of numerics.

  • is_regular_interval() checks if the interval is regular.

Usage

new_interval(..., .regular = TRUE, .others = list())

is_regular_interval(x)

gcd_interval(x)

Arguments

...

A set of name-value pairs to specify default interval units: "year", "quarter", "month", "week", "day", "hour", "minute", "second", "millisecond", "microsecond", "nanosecond", "unit".

.regular

Logical. FALSE gives an irregular interval, and will ignore the ... argument.

.others

A list name-value pairs that are not included in the ..., to allow custom interval.

x

An interval.

Value

an "interval" class

Examples

(x <- new_interval(hour = 1, minute = 30))
#> <interval[1]>
#> [1] 1h 30m
(y <- new_interval(.regular = FALSE)) # irregular interval
#> <interval[1]>
#> [1] !
new_interval() # unknown interval
#> <interval[1]>
#> [1] ?
new_interval(.others = list(semester = 1)) # custom interval
#> <interval[1]>
#> [1] 1semester
is_regular_interval(x)
#> [1] TRUE
is_regular_interval(y)
#> [1] FALSE
gcd_interval(c(1, 3, 5, 6))
#> [1] 1
