The zoo package as a merge function which merges a set of zoo objects
result<-merge(zoo1,zoo2,...)
Assume your zoo objects are already collected in a list
# make a phony list to illustrate the situation. ( hat tip to david W for
constructing a list in a loop)
ddat <- as.list(rep("", 20))
ytd<-seq(3,14)
for(i in 1:20) {
+ ddat[[i]] <- zoo(data,ytd )
+ }
ddat
[[1]]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
[[2]]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
[[3]]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
........
So given a list of zoo objects, if you want to create a merged zoo object
is there a way to do that.
For example, merging the first two gives you this
result<-merge(ddat[[1]],ddat[[2]])
> result
ddat[[1]] ddat[[2]]
3 3 3
4 4 4
5 5 5
6 6 6
7 7 7
8 8 8
9 9 9
10 10 10
11 11 11
12 12 12
13 13 13
14 14 14
And..
result<-merge(result,ddat[[3]])
> result
ddat[[1]] ddat[[2]] ddat[[3]]
3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5
6 6 6 6
7 7 7 7
8 8 8 8
9 9 9 9
10 10 10 10
11 11 11 11
12 12 12 12
13 13 13 13
14 14 14 14
I'm thinking that either do.call or lapply should do the trick.. or a
combination of the two. It would appear to be a straightforward
recursion applying merge to the result of merge..the looping solution is
straightforward
