Miscellaneous
=============
Time aggregation
----------------
|br| A set of functions allows to convert time series to lower frequencies:
- ``dseries2M`` converts daily time series object to monthly
time series object.
- ``dseries2Q`` converts daily or monthly time series object
to quarterly time series object.
- ``dseries2S`` converts daily, monthly, or quarterly time
series object to bi-annual time series object.
- ``dseries2Y`` converts daily, monthly, quarterly, or
bi-annual time series object to annual time series object.
|br| All these routines have two mandatory input arguments: the first one is a
``dseries`` object, the second one the name (row char array) of the
aggregation method. Possible values for the second argument are:
- ``arithmetic-average`` (for growth rates),
- ``geometric-average`` (for growth factors),
- ``sum`` (for flow variables), and
- ``end-of-period`` (for stock variables).
*Example*
::
>> ts = dseries(rand(12,1),'2000M1')
ts is a dseries object:
| Variable_1
2000M1 | 0.55293
2000M2 | 0.14228
2000M3 | 0.38036

2000M11 | 0.97052

>> ds = dseries2Y(ts, 'end-of-period')
ds is a dseries object:
| Variable_1

Create time series with a univariate model
------------------------------------------
|br| It is possible to expand a ``dseries`` object recursively
with the ``from`` command. For instance to create a ``dseries`` object
containing the simulation of an ARMA(1,1) model:
::
>> e = dseries(randn(100, 1), '2000Q1', 'e', '\varepsilon');
>> y = dseries(zeros(100, 1), '2000Q1', 'y');
>> from 2000Q2 to 2024Q4 do y(t)=.9*y(t-1)+e(t)-.4*e(t-1);
>> y
y is a dseries object:
| y
2000Q1 | 0
2000Q2 | -0.95221
2000Q3 | -0.6294
2000Q4 | -1.8935
2001Q1 | -1.1536
2001Q2 | -1.5905
2001Q3 | 0.97056
2001Q4 | 1.1409
2002Q1 | -1.9255

2024Q2 | 0.901
2024Q3 | 2.4906
2024Q4 | 0.79661
The expression following the ``do`` keyword can be any univariate
equation, the only constraint is that the model cannot have
leads. It can be a static equation, or a very nonlinear backward
equation with an arbitrary number of lags. The ``from`` command
must be followed by a range, which is separated from the
(recursive) expression to be evaluated by the ``do`` command.
