function approx interpolation of time series data sets

Readers,

Am trying to use the function 'approx' to interpolate time series data sets:

data1:
01:23:40 5
01:23:45 10
01:23:50 12
01:23:55 7

data2:
01:23:42
01:23:47
01:23:51
01:23:54

The objective is to obtain interpolated values of 'data1' column 2 (5,
10, 12, 7) for the times shown in data2. Tried the following command
but received the error shown:

data3<-approx(data1,xout=data2)
Error in approx(data1, xout = data2) :
(list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'

What is my mistake please?

Re: function approx interpolation of time series data sets

Hello,

Like this?

data1 <- read.table(text = "
01:23:40 5
01:23:45 10
01:23:50 12
01:23:55 7
")

data2 <- read.table(text = "
01:23:42
01:23:47
01:23:51
01:23:54
")

approx(as.POSIXct(data1$V1, format = "%H:%M:%S"), y = data1$V2, xout =
as.POSIXct(data2$V1, format = "%H:%M:%S"))

Hope this helps,

Thanks. I have later realised that if data frames are unequal (i.e. data2edit

01:23:42
01:23:47
01:23:51
01:23:54
01:23:58
01:23:59

the result for 'y' is

$y
[1] NA NA NA NA NA NA

Similar error occurs with the 'zoo' package.

Is it better to do interpolation/further manipulation in another software tool?

its not clear precisely what you tried with zoo but have a look at this:

> data1 <- "
+ 01:23:40 5

With respect to zoo package, looks like I tried to apply zoo package
to the vectors directly, not converting them to zoo objects using
'read.zoo ...'.

Re: function approx interpolation of time series data sets

Hello,

Both Gabor's and my way work and produce the same results:

#-- Gabor
library(zoo)
library(chron)

data1 <- "
01:23:40 5
01:23:45 10
01:23:50 12
01:23:55 7"

data2 <- "
01:23:42
01:23:47
01:23:51
01:23:54
01:23:58
01:23:59"

data1zoo <- read.zoo(text=data1, FUN=times)
data2zoo <- read.zoo(text=data2, FUN=times)
na.approx(data1zoo, xout = time(data2zoo))

#-- Rui

data1 <- read.table(text = "
01:23:40 5
01:23:45 10
01:23:50 12
01:23:55 7
")

data2 <- read.table(text = "
01:23:42
01:23:47
01:23:51
01:23:54
01:23:58
01:23:59
")

approx(as.POSIXct(data1$V1, format = "%H:%M:%S"),
y = data1$V2,
xout = as.POSIXct(data2$V1, format = "%H:%M:%S"))

Note that the last two values of data2 are outside the range of data1,
and therefore the interpolation functions return nothing
(zoo::na.approx) or NA (stats::approx)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
