| detrend {oce} | R Documentation |
Detrends y by subtracting a linear trend in x, to create
a vector that is zero for its first and last finite value.
If the second parameter (y) is missing, then x is
taken to be y, and a new x is constructed with
seq_along. Any NA values are left as-is.
detrend(x, y)
x |
a vector of numerical values. If |
y |
an optional vector |
A common application is to bring the end points of a time series down to zero, prior to applying a digital filter. (See examples.)
A list containing Y, the detrended version of y, and
the intercept a and slope b of the linear function of x
that is subtracted from y to yield Y.
