R help - Feb 2011 - Plotting two time series with different frequencies

Hi,

I have two time series; one of annual data and one of monthly data. How do I
plot these on the same plot? I checked out ts.plot(), but it only allows for
different starting times, not different frequencies.

Sincerely,

Try this assuming ser1 and ser2 are your two ts series:

plot(ser1)
lines(ser2, col = 2)

Another way is:

library(zoo)
z <- na.approx(cbind(as.zoo(ser1), as.zoo(ser2)))
time(z) <- as.yearmon(time(z))
plot(z, screen = 1, col = 1:2)

Omit screen = 1 to get separate panels.
