I like the zoo package, and there are several helpful examples. library(zoo)
You can easily convert your data into a zoo object using I was actually just doing this using this function: LoadReturnData=function(x){ ret = read.csv(x) ret = zoo(ret[ , -1], as.Date(ret[ , 1])) colnames(ret) = toupper(colnames(ret)) return(ret) } fnd = LoadReturnData('/Data/SomeSpecialData.csv') My data is already in weeks, and aggregating to months is easy using as.yearmon MonthIndex=as.yearmon(index(fnd)) aggregate(.~MonthIndex, data=fnd, sum) If you have daily data and you need weeks, then you'll have to create a vector to indicate the week, like the MonthIndex above. e.g. for 365 days WeekIndex = rep(1:53, each=7, length.out=365) On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 2:20 PM, analys...@hotmail.com < analys...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I tried a date by date forecast of a time series and it seems to be > too wild.
