How to Calculate Percentages of Totals from Time Series Data with Missing Values in R
Understanding the Problem and Solution In this article, we will delve into calculating percentages to totals using rowPercents. This involves manipulating a time series object in R, specifically one with class zoo and xts, to transform its values into percentages of their respective rows. Background Information Row Sums: The function rowSums() calculates the sum of each row in a data matrix. For objects with classes other than data.frame (like zoo or xts), it uses the appropriate method for that class, such as sum along the index if the object is a time series (xts).
