You could do this with an implied frequency of 1
tt <- ts(1:10, start=as.Date("2000-01-01"))
which would represent the times as days since the Epoch. You can
recover the Date class dates with:
as.Date(tt, origin = "1970-01-01")
You might be better off using zoo or xts. e.g.
library(zoo)
z <- zooreg(1:10, start = as.Date("2000-01-01"))
Its also possible to move back and forth:
as.ts(z)
as.zoo(tt)
aggregate(as.zoo(tt), identity, as.Date)
