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

Usage

ts_acceleration_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 tibble

Details

Takes a numeric vector and will return the acceleration of that vector. The acceleration of a time series is computed by taking the second difference, so $$(x_t - x_t1) - (x_t - x_t1)_t1$$

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