zoo_name_set function

Set Name of a Zoo Time Series

Zoo time series do not have an attribute 'name'. However, within distantia, to keep data consistency in several plotting and analysis operations, an attribute 'name' is used for these objects. This function is a convenient wrapper of attr(x = x, which = "name") <- "xxx".

zoo_name_set(x = NULL, name = NULL)

Arguments

• x: (required, zoo object) Zoo time series to analyze. Default: NULL.
• name: (required, character string) name or new name of the zoo object. If NULL, x is returned as is. Default: NULL

Returns

zoo time series

Examples

#simulate zoo time series
x <- zoo_simulate()

#get current name
zoo_name_get(x = x)

#change name
x <- zoo_name_set(
  x = x,
  name = "My.New.name"
)

zoo_name_get(x = x)

#clean name
x <- zoo_name_clean(
  x = x,
  lowercase = TRUE
)

zoo_name_get(x = x)
