R help - Sep 2016 - Establishing dates in Time Series Data

R-Help Forum

 

I'm working with a time series data set whose times periods are days of the
year.  While it's pretty straight forward of how, for example, to start my
series on (say) January 2015,but  how do I write the code such that my time
series starts on (say) the 3rd of Jan 2015?

Wouldn't this require a frequency that matched the number of days in a year?
