Create an Overview data.table of (last) observations — create_cross_sec

Create a data.table that shows the i-th obsersvation of several time series.

Usage

create_cross_sec_overview(list_of_rows, col_labels, tsl, selected_period)

Arguments

list_of_rows: list of time series names
col_labels: character list of column labels
tsl: list of time series object to select from
selected_period: numeric date as in defining ts objects.

Examples

tsl <- generate_random_ts(10, lengths = 20)
list_of_rows <- list(
  "group 1" = c("ts1", "ts2", "ts3", "ts4"),
  "group 2" = c("ts5", "ts6", "ts7", "ts10")
)
# These are no real +,=,- values just random data.
create_cross_sec_overview(
  list_of_rows,
  c("+", "=", "-", "random"),
  tsl, c(1988, 12)
)
#> Column 1 ['ts5'] of item 2 is missing in item 1. Use fill=TRUE to fill with NA (NULL for list columns), or use.names=FALSE to ignore column names. use.names='check' (default from v1.12.2) emits this message and proceeds as if use.names=FALSE for  backwards compatibility. See news item 5 in v1.12.2 for options to control this message.
