Extract time series properties, such as the number of observations (obs), the time differences between observations (obs), the number of observations per year (freq), and the start time stamp (start) and the end time stamp (end) of the series.

ts_summary(x, spark = FALSE)

## Arguments

x ts-boxable time series, an object of class ts, xts, zoo, data.frame, data.table, tbl, tbl_ts, tbl_time, tis, irts or timeSeries. logical should an additional column with a spark-line added to the data frame (experimental, ASCII only on Windows.)

ts_summary returns a data.frame. Individual column can be accessed through the $ notation (see examples). ## Examples ts_summary(ts_c(mdeaths, austres)) #> id obs diff freq start end #> 1 mdeaths 72 1 month 12 1974-01-01 1979-12-01 #> 2 austres 89 3 month 4 1971-04-01 1993-04-01ts_summary(ts_c(mdeaths, austres), spark = TRUE) #> id obs diff freq start end spark_line #> 1 mdeaths 72 1 month 12 1974-01-01 1979-12-01 ⠈⠔⠢⡐⢄ #> 2 austres 89 3 month 4 1971-04-01 1993-04-01 ⣀⣀⣀⣀⡠⠤⠤⠤⠒⠒⠒⠊⠉⠉⠉# Extracting specific properties ts_summary(AirPassengers)$start
