[R] [R studio] How to define date column and plot that date column as x axis in R studio
Dear R users, I have half-hourly time series data; 48 data points in a day. The total time period starts from 4/6/2018 (i.e day/month/year) to 2/12/2018. I want to create a time series object. I am using ts function. However, I am unable to define the frequency. As I know, frequency=1 for yearly data, but unable to define in my half-hourly data. After creating a time series object (i.e. date column), I want to plot it with the corresponding data series. How to plot my result (in R object) on Y-axis and time period on the X-axis? For your convenience, I am providing my code as follows. R <- function(x){ return(FDWhittle(x, method="discrete", sdf.method="multitaper")) } plot(R[,i],type="l",col = "Black", xlab="Time", ylab="Return",main=names(R)[,i]) When I am plotting by using the above code, the results in the object "R" is coming on the Y-axis, and some values like (100, 200, 300--------) are coming on the X-axis. I want to get the time period on my X axis, but unable to define the intra-day date column having 48 data points in a day. Further, kindly suggest me what can be the frequency level for defining the date column of the daily data? A kind help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- *Best Regards,* *Subhamitra Patra* *Phd.
