Takes a numeric vector and will return the velocity of that vector.

Usage

ts_velocity_augment(.data, .value, .names = "auto")

Arguments

.data

The data being passed that will be augmented by the function.

.value

This is passed rlang::enquo() to capture the vectors you want to augment.

.names

The default is "auto"

Value

A augmented

Details

Takes a numeric vector and will return the velocity of that vector. The velocity of a time series is computed by taking the first difference, so $$x_t - x_t1$$

This function is intended to be used on its own in order to add columns to a tibble.
