Overview

About

Transforms datetime data into a format ready for analysis. It offers two core functionalities; aggregating data to a higher level interval (thicken) and imputing records where observations were absent (pad).

Changes in 0.7.0
  • Reintroduced the tidyverse linting, all the examples in the documentation are now also styled accordingly. issue #70
  • Improved documentation of the by argument in for pad and more informative error messages. issue #83
  • Replaced the magrittr pipe operator by the base R pipe operator in all examples. issue #97
  • Removed package loading in the examples, using direct invocation from the namespace instead.
  • Updating tidyselect code so we don't use deprecated functionality. issue #90 raised by github user tanho63
  • Bug fix for thicken where start and end values are not in the same time (normal or DST) and interval is day or week. issue #95 raised by github user monica-water
  • A more informative error is thrown for the break_above argument, it is clear the threshold can be adjusted by the user.
  • A more informative error is thrown when an invalid argument is used for interval in thicken.
  • The Year2038 bug is resolved for thicken and thicken_cust, they now work for timpepoints after January 19 2038. issue #96
