xts - Delete specific rows without transform to other format












0














Question: How can I delete specific rows in xts, without the need of transform to other formats. The selected row to be deleted, will be based on the row number, or [column.one] but not the timestamp.



This is what I have tested so far:



Send row 4, column 1, to NULL



myxts[4,1] <- NULL 


Result: Error in NextMethod(.Generic) :
number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length



Add value to NA, then delete all NA with [na.omit]



xts3[1,1] <- NA # Adds NA

na.omit(xts3)


Result: Does remove the NA rows but does not solve the straightforward way of deleting a row.





This is my test xts:



##########
# Test xts
##########
dates <- as.POSIXct( # Construct the dates to be used.
c(
"2013-07-24 09:01:00",
"2013-07-24 09:02:00",
"2013-07-24 09:03:00"
)
)

column.one <- c(1,2,3) # Data in column.one.
data <- data.frame(column.one) # Create a dataframe.
xts3 <- xts(x=data, order.by=dates) # Create xts based on dataframe.

          The following lines result in equal output.



          xts3[-2, ]

          xts3[index(xts3) != index(xts3[xts3$column.one == 2])]

          column.one
          2013-07-24 09:01:00 1
          2013-07-24 09:03:00 3


          But for xts / zoo timeseries it is better and safer to work with the indexes as this leads to a finer control of what you want / can achieve with them.
