Consider the following scrap of code: > x<- ts(1:50,start=c(1,11),freq=12) > y <- aggregate(x,nfreq=4) > c(y) [1] 6 15 24 33 42 51 60 69 78 87 96 105 114 123 132 141 > y Error in rep.int("", start.pad) : invalid number of copies in rep.int() > tsp(y) [1] 1.833333 5.583333 4.000000 So we can aggregate into quarters, but we cannot print it using

Dear R users, I have a dataframe where column is has countries, column 2 is dates (monthly) for each countrly, the next 10 columns are my factors where I have measurements for each country and for each date. I have attached a sample of the data in csv format with the data for 3 countries. I would like to convert my monthly data into quarterly data, finding the mean over 3 month periods for

Ok, I''m new to the world of actually charging for software, and it''s taken me a full month to decide how to charge in a way that doesn''t make me sleep with difficulty at nights. :) If someone can look at this and verify I''m on the right track or give any hints/tips, I''d greatly appreciate it. Basically, I want each user to be able to apply

Hello R People: When using the arima function with the seasonal option, are the seasonal options only good for monthly and quarterly data, please? Also, I believe that weekly and daily data are not appropriate for seasonal parm estimation via arima. Is that correct, please? Thanks, Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com download!

I have financial data on a a set of firms, with a quarterly period (fundamental data). The data spans 10 years, and four quarters per year. The present file (.csv) reads the Date columns as "200706" for the second quarter of 2007; "199809" for the third quarter of 1997. Is there a way I can convert it to something like "2007 Q2", "1998 Q3"? I am aware of

Folks, This question is somewhat related to a previous posting of mine. I just can't seem to create a generic solution. Here is a function that I found searching around the internet: splitIt <- function(x, n) {split(x, sort(rank(x) %% n))} I use it like so: > splitIt(1:12, 2) $`0` [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 $`1` [1] 7 8 9 10 11 12 Or > splitIt(1:12, 4) $`0` [1] 1 2 3 $`1` [1] 4 5 6

can you recommend a good manual for R that starts with a data set and gives demonstrations on what can be done using R? I downloadedR Langauage definition and An introduction to R but haven't found them overly useful. I'd really like to be able to follow some tutorials using a dataset or many datasets. The datasets I have available on R are Data sets in package 'datasets':

Hi, I'd like to make a time series at an annual frequency. > a<-xts(x=c(2,4,5), order.by=c("1991","1992","1993")) Error in xts(x = c(2, 4, 5), order.by = c("1991", "1992", "1993")) : order.by requires an appropriate time-based object > a<-xts(x=c(2,4,5), order.by=1991:1993) Error in xts(x = c(2, 4, 5), order.by =

Hi, I am new to use R, but can anyone tell me how to tranform quarterly data to monthly data? I know SAS has this procedure, so may I assume it is also available in R? Thanks a lot! Ed

Hello, I have a data set has 2001Q1 100 2001Q2 101 2001Q3 120 2001Q4 103 ... And would like to convert it to a monthly data. i.e. 200101 XXX 200102 XXX 200103 XXX

Hello R-Community, I have the following matching problem: I have two data.frames, one with an observation every month (per company ID), and one with an observation every quarter (per company ID; note that quarter means fiscal quarter; therefore 1Q = Jan, Feb, Mar is not necessarily correct and also, a fiscal quarter is not necessarily 3 month long). For every month and company, I want to get the

Hi Thomas, > As this is historical data I don't see any reason why you'd try to get > this through the web interface. The use case is when there is an Icecast service, but there might not be shell access to that server. So we have a stats interface in Airtime that only needs the admin password to create a listener count graph against time. > Chances are, that there you'd

I have time series observation on daily frequencies : library(zoo) SD=1 date1 = seq(as.Date("01/01/01", format = "%m/%d/%y"), as.Date("12/31/02", format = "%m/%d/%y"), by = 1) len1 = length(date1); data1 = zoo(matrix(rnorm(len1, mean=0, sd=SD*0.5), nrow = len1),  date1) plot(data1) Now I want to calculate 1. Quarterly statistics like mean, variance etc

R users, I am a beginner in R. I have a time series data on various macro variables like GDP, unemployment rate, consumer spending, imports, exports etc. I am interested in calculating year over year growth rate for each of those variables. Is there any simple function in R for carrying out such repeated operations. I would like to carry out growth rate between two consecutive yearly row data

Hi, I have a ts object with a frequency of 4, i.e., quarterly data, and I would like to calculate the mean for each quarter. So for example: > ts.data=ts(1:20,start=c(1984,2),frequency=4) > ts.data Qtr1 Qtr2 Qtr3 Qtr4 1984 1 2 3 1985 4 5 6 7 1986 8 9 10 11 1987 12 13 14 15 1988 16 17 18 19 1989 20 If I do this manually, the mean

Hello, I try to handle the data using read.csv , zoo and aggregate functions. The data contains NA values. After aggregating monthly data into quarterly data, all data become NA. Is it because I don't properly aggregate the data in the presence of NAs? What can I do? Another problem is that the date in month is presented in Chinese (My OS is in Chinese.) How can I set the default

Dear Gavin, This is really great, thank you! I created some long loops to get rid of extra months at the beginning and the end of my data but your code is great for putting it then together quarterly. thanks again, Denise On Mon, 2008-08-18 at 14:31 +0100, Denise Xifara wrote: > Thank you very much Stephen, but how will aggregate deal with months that > fall outside annual quarters? eg,

Hi, I'm dealing with time series with 1 observaton for day (data sampled daily). I will create a ts object using that time series and the function ts(). In ts() help is written: The value of argument 'frequency' is used when the series is sampled an integral number of times in each unit time interval. For example, one could use a value of '7' for 'frequency' when
