Coerce time-series objects to tibble.

Usage

tk_tbl(
  data,
  preserve_index = TRUE,
  rename_index = "index",
  timetk_idx = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A time-series object.

preserve_index

Attempts to preserve a time series index. Default is TRUE.

rename_index

Enables the index column to be renamed.

timetk_idx

Used to return a date / datetime index for regularized objects that contain a timetk "index" attribute. Refer to tk_index() for more information on returning index information from regularized timeseries objects (i.e. ts).

silent

Used to toggle printing of messages and warnings.

...

Additional parameters passed to the tibble::as_tibble() function.

Value

Returns a tibble object.

Details

tk_tbl is designed to coerce time series objects (e.g. xts, zoo, ts, timeSeries, etc) to tibble objects. The main advantage is that the function keeps the date / date-time information from the underlying time-series object.

When preserve_index = TRUE is specified, a new column, index, is created during object coercion, and the function attempts to preserve the date or date-time information. The date / date-time column name can be changed using the rename_index argument.

The timetk_idx argument is applicable when coercing ts objects that were created using tk_ts() from an object that had a time base (e.g. tbl, xts, zoo). Setting timetk_idx = TRUE enables returning the timetk "index" attribute if present, which is the original (non-regularized) time-based index.

Examples

library(dplyr)

data_tbl <- tibble(
    date = seq.Date(from = as.Date("2010-01-01"), by = 1, length.out = 5),
    x    = seq(100, 120, by = 5)
)
