Constructor Detail

TimeSeriesOperations

public TimeSeriesOperations()

Constructor for TimeSeriesOperations.

Method Detail

backshift

public TimeSeries backshift(TimeSeries ts,
                   int lag)

Returns the backshifted version of the time series. For a given lag the backshift operation is defined as:

.

Parameters:

ts - a TimeSeries object.

lag - an int specifying the lag.

Returns:

TimeSeries with values at index i the same as the original series values at position i-lag;

merge

public TimeSeries merge(TimeSeries ts1,
               TimeSeries ts2)

Merges two time series objects.

Parameters:

ts1 - a TimeSeries object.

ts2 - a TimeSeries object.

Returns:

a TimeSeries object resulting from merging ts1 and ts2.

setCombineFunction

public void setCombineFunction(TimeSeriesOperations.Function function)

Sets the combine function to a user supplied function. Must be defined when combineMethod = CombineMethod.CUSTOM.

Parameters:

function - a Function that defines how two values should be combined.

setCombineMethod

public void setCombineMethod(TimeSeriesOperations.CombineMethod combineMethod)

Sets the method for combining synchronous time series values.

Parameters:

combineMethod - a CombineMethod value.

setMergeRule

public void setMergeRule(TimeSeriesOperations.MergeRule mergeRule)

Sets the rule that defines how two time series are merged.

Parameters:

mergeRule - a MergeRule value.

stack

public double[] stack(TimeSeries ts)

Stacks or vectorizes the values of a multivariate TimeSeries.

Parameters:

ts - TimeSeries

Returns:

A double[] array of length T*numberOfSeries with the index 1,...,numberOfSeries varying fastest.
