Hello, what kind of advantages does R's time series offer? Would it be possible to use data with units? For example data from a real time series with certain sampling rates - could they be used so, that the sample-times are measured in millisceonds or microseconds, instead of an index of the positions? If so, this would be much easier to handle than just working with indices of a vector. If the above mentioned way would not be possible, for what is this timeseries-attribute (?) useful? Ciao, Oliver
