I've been using R for a while, but now find myself needing to understand time-series objects for a short course I am teaching. I am putting together some daily financial datasets for illustration, but having some trouble in aggregating the data to months or weeks. I am getting a "cannot change frequency from 1 to 12" message. I am not sure that aggregation is where I want to go
