At Business Science, they’ve announced a new R package:
We are excited to announce the release of
tibbletime v0.0.2
on CRAN. Loads of new functionality have been added, including:
- Generic period support: Perform time-based calculations by a number of supported periods using a new
~period formula~
.- Creating series: Use
create_series()
to quickly create atbl_time
object initialized with a regular time series.- Rolling calculations: Turn any function into a rolling version of itself with
rollify()
.- A number of smaller tweaks and helper functions to make life easier.
As we further develop
tibbletime
, it is becoming clearer that the package is a tool that should be used in addition to the rest of thetidyverse
. The combination of the two makes time series analysis in the tidyverse much easier to do!
