sum - Class: timeseries

Sum of timeseries data

Syntax

Description

ts_sm = sum(ts) returns the sum of the timeseries data.

ts_sm = sum(ts,Name,Value) specifies additional options with one or more Name,Value pair arguments.

Input Arguments

ts	The timeseries object for which you want the sum of the data.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

'MissingData'	A string specifying one of two possible values, remove or interpolate, indicating how to treat missing data during the calculation. Default: remove
'Quality'	A vector of integers, indicating which quality codes represent missing samples (for vector data) or missing observations (for data arrays with two or more dimensions).
'Weighting'	A string specifying one of two possible values, none or time. When you specify time, larger time values correspond to larger weights.

Output Arguments

ts_sm

The sum of the timeseries data, as follows: When ts.Data is a vector, ts_sm is the sum of ts.Data values. When ts.Data is a matrix, and IsTimeFirst is true, and the first dimension of ts is aligned with time, then ts_sm is a row vector containing the sum of each column of ts.Data. When ts.Data is a N-dimensional array, sum always operates along the first nonsingleton dimension of ts.Data.

Examples

Calculate the sum of each data column for a timeseries object:

% Load a 24-by-3 data array:

load count.dat

% Create a timeseries object with 24 time values:

count_ts = timeseries(count,1:24,'Name','CountPerSecond');

% Calculate the sum of each data column for this timeseries object:

sum(count_ts)

MATLAB returns:

768        1117        1574

Algorithms

MATLAB determines weighting by:

1. Attaching a weighting to each time value, depending on its order, as follows:

   • First time point — The duration of the first time interval (t(2) - t(1)).

   • Time point that is neither the first nor last time point — The duration between the midpoint of the previous time interval to the midpoint of the subsequent time interval ((t(k + 1) - t(k))/2 + (t(k) - t(k - 1))/2).

   • Last time point — The duration of the last time interval ((t(end) - t(end - 1)).

2. Normalizing the weighting for each time by dividing each weighting by the mean of all weightings.

   Note   If the timeseries object is uniformly sampled, then the normalized weighting for each time is 1.0. Therefore, time weighting has no effect.

3. Multiplying the data for each time by its normalized weighting.
