Merge Two or More zoo Objects

Description

Merge two zoo objects by common indexes (times), or do other versions of database "join" operations.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'zoo':
merge(..., all = TRUE)

Arguments

... two or more objects of class "zoo".
all logical vector of the same length as the number of "zoo" objects which should be merged (otherwise expanded). All indexes (times) of the objects corresponding to TRUE are included, for those corresponding to FALSE only the indexes present in all objects are included. For the default all = TRUE this corresponds to a union of all indexes, for all = FALSE to the intersection of all indexes.

Details

The indexes of different "zoo" objects can be of different classes and are coerced to one class in the resulting object (with a warning).

Value

An object of class "zoo".
