Rmetrics - Chronological and Calendar Objects
Overview
The 'timeDate' class fulfils the conventions of the ISO 8601 standard as well as of the ANSI C and POSIX standards. Beyond these standards it provides the "Financial Center" concept which allows to handle data records collected in different time zones and mix them up to have always the proper time stamps with respect to your personal financial center, or alternatively to the GMT reference time. It can thus also handle time stamps from historical data records from the same time zone, even if the financial centers changed day light saving times at different calendar dates.
- streamlined
holidayNYSE(). - fixed a minor bug in
holidayTSX()and streamlined it a bit. - removed the deprecated (in v4032.109)
timeDatemethod forcut, usewindowinstead. - modified the
timeDatemethod forwindowto return a 0-lengthtimeDateobject when the window is empty. Previously it was returning a length-1 object with a data valueNA. - removed the S4 timeDate method for
frequency(the S3 method suffices). Also,frequencyis no longer turned into an S4 generic and not exported. - removed
getRmetricsOption, usegetRmetricsOptions(i.e., plural) instead.
