similar to: converting a ts object to an xts object

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 =

Dear R People: I have a monthly time series which runs from January 1998 to December 2010. When I use tsp I get the following: > tsp(ibm$ts) [1] 1998.000 2010.917 12.000 Is there an easy way to convert this to a seq.Date object, please? I would like to have something to the effect of 1998/01/01 .... 2010/12/01 Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer

Dear R People: I have the following code that I use to convert a monthly zoo object to a data.frame, and it works perfectly: library(tseries) z <- get.hist.quote(instrument=inst1, start=start1,end=end1, quote=quot1,comp = "m") y <- as.ts(aggregate(z, as.yearmon, tail, 1)) y.df <- data.frame(y=y,time=time(y)) y.df$x <- ts(y.df[,1]) tsp(y.df$x) <-

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

I have this code: IEF <- to.monthly(IEF, indexAt="endof") SPY <- to.monthly(SPY, indexAt="endof") I would like to use a for loop instead of separate entries, so the only code that needs to be modified is the list of symbols. symbols <- c("IEF", "SPY") for(symbol in symbols) { symbol <- to.monthly(symbol, indexAt="endof") } This

Hi all- I am trying to use the time function for ts class objects and do not understand the return value. I want to use it to set up a time trend in arima fits. It does not seem to return a correct linear sequence that matches the underlying time series. I am running: R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22). For example: R> ## create a time series R> x <- rnorm(24) R> (xts <-

Using Achim's d this also works to generate z where FUN is a function used to transform the index column and format is also passed to FUN. z <- read.zoo(d, index = "time", FUN = as.yearqtr, format = "Q%q %Y") On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 4:53 PM, Achim Zeileis <Achim.Zeileis at uibk.ac.at> wrote: > On Sun, 28 Jan 2018, phil at philipsmith.ca wrote: > >> I

I have a suggestion for kernapply for ts objects. When we choose the option circular=F, the returned series don't have the correct dates. The removed dates are all at the beginning instead of half at the beginning and half at the end. It is particularly useful when we need to smooth the series (or remove a trend using a filter) before estimating a model (like in macroeconomics) or simply

There is now a preliminary version of a time series package in the R-devel snapshots, and we would welcome feedback on it. It is based in part on the packages bats (Martyn Plummer) and tseries (Adrian Trapletti) and in part on code I had or have written. (Thanks for the contributions, Martyn and Adrian!) Some of the existing ts code has been changed, for example to plot multiple time series, so

This seems like a FAQ, but I can't figure it out. I have a mv ts object: R > tsp(pg) [1] 1982 2003 1 R > dim(pg) [1] 22 12 and a univariate ts: R > tsp(rw) [1] 1690 1996 1 Yet, when I try to intersect them: R > tsp(ts.intersect(rw, pg)) [1] 1982 2176 1 the process goes awry. How to I get rw and pg to be one ts that runs from 1982 to 1996 and has 13 univariate time

Greetings, I would like to subset observations in a time series using xts, after converting from ts to xts. X=ts(1:100, frequency=12, start=c(1976)) X2=as.xts(X) X2["1984"] The output: Feb 1984 98 Mar 1984 99 Apr 1984 100 What happened to January? The index is always one month off, with X2["1976-01"] giving me Feb 1976. Should I set the time using something else

I'm trying to convert a column of a table into a ts object. The data is monthly, so I want the ts frequency to be 12. I did this ... > filings.ts = as.ts(Filings.100K, frequency=12) > filings.ts Time Series: Start = 1 End = 311 Frequency = 1 [1] 246.9336 305.6789 ... ... > tsp(filings.ts) [1] 1 311 1 > tsp(filings.ts) <- c(1,311,12) Error in attr(x, "tsp")

I posted the question below about a month ago but received no response. I still have not been able to figure out what is happening. I also noticed another oddity. When the data part of the object is a multivariate time series, it doesn't show up in the structure, but it can be treated as a multivariate time series. Is this a bug in str? > setClass("tsExtended", representation =

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

I'm probably apporaching this all wrong to start but.... Suppose I have a monthly time series and I want to compute the mean of months 6,7, and 8. I want to plot the original time series and the seasonal time series, one above the other. When I do that as below the time series don't line up for reasons that are obvious. How can I change the base of the seasonal time series so I can make

Hi all. Currently, if you try: > lag.plot(1:10) you get superposed labels '1' and '10'. Things go worse in more extreme cases: x <- ts(1:10) x1 <- lag(x, 4) plot(x1, x) This is due to a mistake in plot.ts. My suggestion is the following really minimal patch to plot.ts: @@ -530,7 +530,7 @@ plot.ts <- text(xy, labels =
