Re: [R] rollapply() by time, not entries (width)

2012-10-27 Thread R. Michael Weylandt
I might suggest you take a look at period.apply() in the xts package.

Cheers,

 Hi all-

 Thank you for reading my post. Please bear in mind that I'm very much a
 newbie with R! My question is this:

 I'm trying to use rollapply() on an irregular time series so I can't simply
 use the width parameter (I don't think). Rather than last 5 entries, I'd
 like to rollapply on last 6 months (for example). What would be the proper
 course of action for this?

 Thanks!

I don't think that will work because it sounds like J wants analysis
on overlapping intervals, and period.apply works on non-overlapping
intervals.  I'd suggest using a for loop with the window() function.
But be careful about timezone and DST issues if your data is more
frequent than daily.

 Cheers,
 Michael
