\title{timeDate Class, Functions and Methods}


\description{
    
    A collection and description of functions and methods
    for mathematical and logical operations on 'timeDate'
    objects.
    \cr
    
  
    The functions to perform mathematical operations:
    
    \tabular{ll}{
    \code{Ops.timeDate} \tab Group 'Ops' generic functions for 'timeDate' objects, \cr
    \code{+.timeDate} \tab Performs arithmetic + operation on 'timeDate' objects, \cr
    \code{-.timeDate} \tab Performs arithmetic - operation on 'timeDate' objects, \cr
    \code{diff.timeDate} \tab Returns suitably lagged and iterated differences, \cr
    \code{difftimeDate} \tab Returns a difference of two 'timeDate' objects, \cr
    \code{round.timeDate} \tab Rounds objects of class 'timeDate', \cr
    \code{trunc.timeDate} \tab Truncates objects of class 'timeDate'. }
    
    The functions to concatenate, sort and order 'timeDate' objects:
    
    \tabular{ll}{
    \code{c.timeDate} \tab Concatenates 'timeDate' objects, \cr
    \code{rep.timeDate} \tab Replicates a 'timeDate' object, \cr
    \code{sort.timeDate} \tab Sorts a 'timeDate' object, \cr
    \code{sample.timeDate} \tab Resamples a 'timeDate' object, \cr
    \code{unique.timeDate} \tab NMakes a 'timeDate' object unique, \cr
    \code{rev.timeDate} \tab Reverts  a 'timeDate' object. }
       
}


\usage{
\method{Ops}{timeDate}(e1, e2)
\method{+}{timeDate}(e1, e2)
\method{-}{timeDate}(e1, e2)
\method{diff}{timeDate}(x, lag = 1, differences = 1, \dots)
difftimeDate(time1, time2, 
    units = c("auto", "secs", "mins", "hours", "days", "weeks"))
\method{round}{timeDate}(x, units = c("days", "hours", "mins"), ...)

\method{c}{timeDate}(\dots, recursive = FALSE)
\method{rep}{timeDate}(x, \dots)
\method{sample}{timeDate}(x, \dots)
\method{sort}{timeDate}(x, \dots)
\method{unique}{timeDate}(x, \dots)

\arguments{
  

    \item{differences}{
        [lag] - \cr
        an integer indicating the order of the difference.
        }
    \item{e1, e2}{
        ["+"][["-"]["Ops"] - \cr
        usually objects of class \code{timeDate}, in the case of
        addition and subtraction \code{e2} may be of class
        \code{numeric}.
        }
    \item{lag}{
        [lag] - \cr
        an integer indicating which lag to use.  
        }

    \item{method}{
        [modify] - \cr
        a character string defining the modification method, one of
        \code{"sort"}, \code{"round"}, or \code{"trunc"}. 
        }     
    \item{recursive}{
        [c] - \cr
        a logical. If recursive  is set to \code{TRUE}, the function 
        recursively descends through lists combining all their elements 
        into a vector. 
        }
    \item{time1, time2}{
        [difftime] - \cr
        two objects objects of class \code{timeDate}.
        }
    \item{units}{
        a character string denoting the date/time units in which the 
        results are desired.
        }
    \item{x}{
        [isWeekday][isWeekend][isBizday][weekDay] - \cr
        an object of class \code{timeDate}.
        \cr
        [format][print] - \cr
        an object of class \code{timeDate}.
        }  
    \item{\dots}{
        arguments passed to other methods.
        }
       
}


\value{
    
    \code{Ops.timeDate}\cr
    \code{+.timeDate}\cr
    \code{-.timeDate}\cr
    \code{diff.timeDate}\cr
    \code{difftimeDate}\cr
    \code{round.timeDate}\cr
    \code{trunc.timeDate}
    \cr
    these are functions for mathematical operations. Group code{Ops} are 
    generic functions which manage mathematical operations. 
    The plus operator \code{"+"} performs arithmetic "+" operation on 
    \code{timeDate} objects, and the minus operator \code{"-"} returns a 
    \code{difftime} object if both arguments \code{e1} and \code{e2} 
    are \code{"timeDate"} objects, or returns a \code{"timeDate"} object 
    \code{e2} seconds earlier than \code{e1}.
    For the function, \code{diff.timeDate}, if \code{x} is a vector 
    of length \code{n} and \code{differences=1}, then the computed result 
    is equal to the successive differences \code{x[(1+lag):n] - x[1:(n-lag)]}. 
    If \code{difference} is larger than one this algorithm is applied
    recursively to \code{x}. Note that the returned value is a vector 
    which is shorter than \code{x}.
    The function, \code{difftimeDate}, takes a difference of two 
    \code{timeDate} objects and returns an object of class \code{"difftime"} 
    with an attribute indicating the units.
    The two functions \code{round} and \code{trunc} allow to round or to 
    truncate \code{"timedate"} objects to the specified unit and return
    them as \code{"timedate"} objects.
    \cr
    
    \code{c}\cr
    \code{rep}\cr
    \code{sample}\cr
    \code{sort}\cr
    \code{unique}\cr
    \code{rev}
    \cr
    these are functions to concatenate, to replicate, to resample, to
    sort, to make unique, and to revert \code{timeDate} objects. The
    functions return an object of class \code{"timeDate"}.
