R help - Jun 2011 - Doubit about ts() functions

Hi everyone
Please, I need one more help you
I have some data that need to make a forecast.
I´m using the command:
Yst<-print(ts<-ts(Y,start=c(1,5),freq=7),calendar=T)
to create the dayly time series by the dataframe Y.
My data Y means: Y=measure dayly , start at 01/jul/2010 (thursday), for this
reason that I use c(1,5).
I need to create the time series aggregate by weakly (and not dayly as shown
above), but if I use the command freq=7 is dayly, freq=12 is month, freq=12
is year, freq=5 the Arima command don´t recognize the períod, if I use
freq=4 is trimestral.
I can to aggregate into excel and after import to R, but anyway, I will need
to create the time series (weekly) and again I back to start point.
How can I transform my data- frame Y in time series aggregate by weakly
where the command arima recognize the period?

Fl?vio, first install package 'xts'. Then with a matrix with rownames as
dates like:
> testing
             [,1]
2011-05-12 177.05
2011-05-13 182.85
2011-05-16 182.20
2011-05-17 181.90
2011-05-18 180.50
2011-05-19 184.95
2011-05-20 181.75
2011-05-23 180.85
2011-05-24 182.75
2011-05-25 186.80
2011-05-26 185.35
2011-05-27 185.35
2011-05-31 182.50
2011-06-01 182.00

# Map the endpoints using xts.
> week_ends <- endpoints(testing, 'weeks')
> week_ends
[1]  0  2  7 12 14
> testing[week_ends,]
2011-05-13 2011-05-20 2011-05-27 2011-06-01 
    182.85     181.75     185.35     182.00


This works for 'years' and 'months' as well, so it?s quite
useful.

HTH,
Filipe Botelho
