Is the following M4_regular_matrix time series data? I am a bit confused since The rows indicate locations although the columns consist of time. We actually collected data of every location for 8 different time points.

library(Matrix)

i <- c(1, 3, 8, 4, 2, 7, 6, 9, 1, 4, 10, 5, 11, 2, 12)
j <- c(2, 5, 3, 8, 6, 2, 4, 2, 4, 5, 2, 7, 3, 2, 1)
x <- rpois(15, 5)
M4 <- sparseMatrix(i, j, x = x)
M4_regular_matrix <- as(M4, "matrix")


rownames(M4_regular_matrix) <- c("location 1", "location 2","location 3","location 4",
                             "location 5","location 6","location 7","location 8",
                             "location 9","location 10","location 11","location 12")


colnames(M4_regular_matrix) <- c("time 1", "time 2", "time 3", "time 4",
                             "time 5", "time 6", "time 7", "time 8")

    I don't understand the question. You collected it, why would you not know if it is a time series? Are you asking about the data format? – mkt Aug 05 '23 at 14:42
