MinimumTimeIncrement

MinimumTimeIncrement[tseries]

gives the minimum time increment in the time series tseries.

Details

  • MinimumTimeIncrement can be used for regularly spaced data and for irregularly spaced data.
  • For a single path, the minimum time increment Δt=Min[{t2-t1,t3-t2,…,tn-tn-1}].
  • The time series tseries can be given as a list of values {x1,x2,…}, a list of time-value pairs {{t1,x1},{t2,x2},…}, a TimeSeries, an EventSeries, or TemporalData.
  • The minimum time increment may be numeric or calendar time.
  • If an ensemble of p paths is given, then MinimumTimeIncrement returns {Δt1,Δt2,…,Δtp}.
