only have 259. To solve this, I created a temporary DF with "Year" and
"Quarter" that was complete
Yr.temp = rep(1947:2011, rep(4,65))
Qtr.temp = rep(1:4, 65)
Temp.df = data.frame(cbind(Yr.temp,Qtr.temp))
and merged the two, so now I have the NA's.
so, my DF is gdpdata with the above four columns, 260 rows.
My first question: what is the difference between
gdp.ts <- ts(gdpdata$GDP, start=1947, end=2011, fr=4)
and
gdp2.ts <- ts(gdpdata$GDP, start=c(1947,1), end=c(2011,4), fr=4)
I get different outputs for time(gdp.ts) and time(gdp2.ts), and neither make
