[R] time serie : question about date time class

2010-02-06 Thread Laurent Rhelp
Dear R-List, I have the habit of using R for my data processing and I like to use the power of the lattice package. Presently, I have to manage time series. So, in order to work properly I want to discover the zoo package and the related methods (since lattice can work with zoo class). But m
