The goal of fcutils is to facilitate time series data wrangling. The package contains utility functions for time series generation, frequency conversion, growth rate calculation, plotting, and more.
You can install the development version of fcutils from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("UHERO/fcutils")Illustration of some package features.
# load the fcutils package
library(fcutils)
# get public data from UDAMAN
get_series(c("VADCNS@HI.Q", "EAFNS@HI.Q", "YLAF@HI.Q", "PRM@HI.Q"), raw = TRUE, public = TRUE) |>
# calculate year-to-date growth rate
ytd_gr() |>
# filter for the period 2017Q1 to 2023Q4
span(2017.1, 2023.4) |>
# convert to monthly frequency
disagg(conv_type = "mean", target_freq = "month") |>
# plot the series, with the last one on the secondary axis
