R: Equally sized 'timeDate' Blocks

blockStart {timeDate} | R Documentation

## Equally sized 'timeDate' Blocks

### Description

Creates start (end) dates for equally sized 'timeDate' blocks.

### Usage

    blockStart(x, block = 20)
    blockEnd(x, block = 20)

### Arguments

`block` | an integer value specifying the length in number of records for numerically sized blocks of dates.
`x` | an object of class `timeDate`.

### Details

The functions `blockStart` and `blockEnd` create vectors of start and end values for equally sized 'timeDate' blocks. Note, the functions are event counters and not a time counter between measuring time intervals between start and end dates! For equally sized blocks in time one has before to align the time stamps in equal time differences.

### Value

returns an object of class `"timeDate"`.

### Examples

    ## timeSequence
       # 360 Days Series:
       tS <- timeSequence(length.out = 360)

    ## blockStart | blockEnd -
       Start <- blockStart(tS, 30)
       End <- blockEnd(tS, 30)
       Start
       End
       End-Start
