Convert between chronons

Usage

chronon_convert(x, ...)

chronon_convert.S7_methods(x, to, discrete = FALSE)

Arguments

x: A linear time object (of class mt_linear)
...: Additional arguments for methods. that x falls into is returned as an integer. If FALSE, a fractional number of target chronons is returned (analagous to time using a continuous time model).
to: The target chronon to convert to (a time unit object)
discrete: If TRUE, the number of target chronons since Unix epoch

Value

A numeric or integer representing the time since Unix epoch in terms of the target chronon's precision.

Examples


# Convert from months since epoch to years since epoch
chronon_convert(yearmonth(Sys.Date()), tu_year(1L))
#> [1] 55.91667

# Convert from days since epoch to months since epoch
chronon_convert(Sys.Date(), tu_month(1L))
#> [1] 671.5806
chronon_convert(Sys.Date(), tu_month(1L), discrete = TRUE)
#> [1] 671

# Convert from seconds since epoch to hours since epoch
chronon_convert(Sys.time(), tu_hour(1L))
#> [1] 490596
