TS(1)

NAME
ts - time series analysis

SYNOPSIS
ts [-aeps] [-b base] [-c lag] [-i interval] [-l length]
    [-P style] [-n number] [-w width]

DESCRIPTION

ts performs a variety of time series analyses on ordered data read from the standard input.

OPTIONS
[a] requests no axes around plot. [b base] set the base label of the time series. [c lag] print (auto)correlation of lags 1:lag. These can be useful for detecting cycles and other trends within the data. The output for a lag of zero is the correlation of the time series with the numbers 1 through the length of the time series. [e] echo the time series (may be useful with the -l option). [i size] set the interval size for plot labels. [l length] sets the length of the time series. This can be useful for summarizing, or for comparing time series of different lengths. [n N] number the output lines of plots every N points. [p] requests a time series plot. A vertical mean line is used for the center of the plot. [P plotnum] Plot type. The default (type 1) plots points as deviations from the mean. Plot type 2 plots points as lines above the minimum. A line plot of the range indicating the mean and standard deviation surround plots. [s] Print summary statistics. [w width] Plot width (default: 70).

EXAMPLES

Side-by-side plots can compare trends in series of different lengths:
	ts -p -w 20 -l 30 < data1 > plot1
	ts -p -w 20 -l 30 < data2 > plot2
	pr -m plot1 plot2

LIMITS
Use the -L option to determine the program limits.

MISSING VALUES
Missing data values (NA) are counted but not included in the analysis.
