find data (date) gaps in time series
Dear R users, I have a time series of precipitation data. The time series comprises ~ 20 years and it is supposed to be constant (one value per day), but due to some failure of the measuring device some days or periods are missing. I would like to find these missing days or periods just to get a first idea about the reliability of the measurements. The only function I could find was is.constant(), but of course I only get a true or false statement instead of the dates missing. Google searches and a look at the R help mailing did not reveal an answer. Please find attached a few dates of the time series with missing values from February to April. I would like R to detect those missing dates. Any hints or solutions are highly appreciated.
