Subsetting Time Series Objects in R: 5 Effective Methods for Filtering Data

Here is a high-quality, readable, and well-documented code for the given problem:

# Load necessary libraries
library(xts)

# Create a time series object (DT) from some data
DT <- xts(c(1, 2, 3), order.by = Sys.time())

# Print the original DT
print(DT)

# Subset the DT using various methods
# 1. By row index
print(DT[1:3])

# 2. By column name (dts)
print(DT[P(dts, '1970')])

# 3. By date range
print(DT[P(dts, '197001')])

# 4. By date range with subinterval
print(DT[P(dts, '19700102/19700103'), max(dts)])

# 5. By date range with minimum value
print(DT[P(dts, '19700102/19700103'), min(dts)])

This code demonstrates various ways to subset a time series object (DT) using its row index, column name, and date range. The P() function is used for subsetting by column name, while the order.by argument is used to specify the order of the indices in the time series.
