//-------------------------------------------------------------------//
// Syntax: diff ( X )
// diff ( X , k )
// Description:
// The function diff computes the difference between adjacent
// elements in a vector. The function diff merely does:
// x = x[2:n] - x[1:n-1];
// If X is a matrix, then the operation is performed on each column
// of X.
// The default value for `k' is 1. If k is specified as other than 1,
// then the operation is performed k times.
//-------------------------------------------------------------------//
diff = function ( X, k )
{
local (X, k)
if (!exist (k)) { k = 1; }
for (i in 1:k)
{
m = X.nr; n = X.nc;
if (m == 1)
{
X = X[2:n] - X[1:n-1];
else
X = X[2:m;] - X[1:m-1;];
}
}
return X;
};
