R help - Oct 2012 - rollapply() by time, not entries (width)

Hi all-

Thank you for reading my post. Please bear in mind that I'm very much a
newbie with R! My question is this:

I'm trying to use rollapply() on an irregular time series so I can't
simply
use the width parameter (I don't think). Rather than last 5 entries, I'd
like to rollapply on last 6 months (for example). What would be the proper
course of action for this?

Thanks!

-J

I might suggest you take a look at period.apply() in the xts package.

Cheers,
Michael
