Map the available raw data years over the given period — post_calc_year

Many raw datasets are periodically updated and the period could be longer than a year. This function maps the available years over the given period.

Usage

post_calc_year_expand(
  time_start = NULL,
  time_end = NULL,
  time_unit = "year",
  time_available = NULL
)

Arguments

time_start: integer(1). Starting year.
time_end: integer(1). Ending year.
time_unit: character(1). Time unit. Default is "year".
time_available: vector. Available years.

Value

integer vector of length (time_end - time_start + 1). Each element will get the nearest preceeding available year.

Note

The minimum of time_available will be filled in front of the first available year when the minimum of time_available is greater than time_start.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
process_calc_year_expand(2018, 2022, "year", c(2017, 2020, 2021))
process_calc_year_expand(2018, 2022, "year", c(2020, 2021))
} # }
