R help - Jun 2010 - merging and adding time series

Hello

I have two series (that can have with different frequencies or with missing
values).
I merge them and use na.locf, getting a zoo objet with a common index and
two core columns.
How can I add this columns getting a new zoo series?
Any other way of adding two asynchronou series?

regards

If I just add them (without merging) I get only the common elements.
rowsum doesn't work for me

Try this:

z <- zoo(cbind(1:3, 4:6))
z[, 1] + z[, 2]

If x and y are two zoo series you can do this:

x <- zoo(1:3, c(1, 2, 4))
y <- zoo(4:6, c(1, 2, 3))
x + y

and it will automatically merge them when it adds them using all FALSE; however,
if you use merge explicitly then the default is all TRUE or you can override
that with merge(..., all = FALSE) so which
way to go depends on what you want.  You can also do left and right
joins.  See help(merge.zoo)
