Usage:
padto(x,n), x a REAL vector or matrix, n > 0 an integer
|
Keywords:
time series
padto(x,n) creates a new matrix or vector from REAL vector or matrix x
by adding n - nrows(x) rows of all zeros so as to bring the total number
of rows to n. When n < nrows(x), the last nrows(x) - n rows of x are
deleted to bring the number down to n. n must be a positive integer.
The principal use of padto() is to add zeros to a time series after
subtracting the mean or other estimate of trend but before computing its
Fourier transform, as in rft(padto(x-sum(x)/nrows(x),S)), where S is the
number of frequencies desired. If x has several columns, they all get
padded simultaneously.
Example:
Cmd> padto(vector(1,2,2)',4) # pad row vector to matrix with 4 rows
(1,1) 1 2 2
(2,1) 0 0 0
(3,1) 0 0 0
(4,1) 0 0 0
