\title{Turn all columns of a pdata.frame into class pseries.}
\usage{
pseriesfy(x, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{an object of class \code{"pdata.frame"},}
\item{\dots}{further arguments (currently not used).}
}
\value{
A pdata.frame like the input pdata.frame but with all columns
turned into pseries.
}
\description{
This function takes a pdata.frame and turns all of its columns into
objects of class pseries.
}
\details{
Background: Initially created pdata.frames have as columns the pure/basic
class (e.g., numeric, factor, character). When extracting a column from such
a pdata.frame, the extracted column is turned into a pseries.
At times, it can be convenient to apply data transformation operations on
such a \code{pseriesfy}-ed pdata.frame, see Examples.
}
\examples{
library("plm")
data("Grunfeld", package = "plm")
pGrun <- pdata.frame(Grunfeld[ , 1:4], drop.index = TRUE)
pGrun2 <- pseriesfy(pGrun) # pseriesfy-ed pdata.frame
# compare classes of columns
lapply(pGrun, class)
lapply(pGrun2, class)
# When using with()
with(pGrun, lag(value)) # dispatches to base R's lag()
with(pGrun2, lag(value)) # dispatches to plm's lag() respect. panel structure
# When lapply()-ing
lapply(pGrun, lag) # dispatches to base R's lag()
lapply(pGrun2, lag) # dispatches to plm's lag() respect. panel structure
# as.list(., keep.attributes = TRUE) on a non-pseriesfy-ed
# pdata.frame is similar and dispatches to plm's lag
lapply(as.list(pGrun, keep.attributes = TRUE), lag)
