Hi, Part of my program is to calculate the number of time series in a zoo object. It works well if it has more than one time series, but it fails if it has only one. How can I access the number of column (i.e. the number of time series) when I have only one column? Why is the number of an object of only one object "NULL"? It should be one, shouldn't it? (The following example does not involve the creation of a zoo object; in reality, similar problems are encountered when I create a zoo object)
