additional!! I now realise that the time series created below is in the wrong order!
clearly the column of dates are not being interpreted as dates by the R. Is is possible for R to read column one as dates? how can I do this? dd<-data.frame(prices[,1],prices[,2]) > head(dd,3) prices...1. prices...2. 1 16/12/2004 0.13675654 2 17/12/2004 0.22967560 3 20/12/2004 0.01841611 > ser<-with(dd,zoo(prices[,2],prices[,1])) > plot(ser) > xts <- as.ts(xzoo) Error in as.ts(xzoo) : object 'xzoo' not found > xts <- as.ts(ser) > xts Time Series: Start = 1 End = 732 Frequency = 1 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Adding-dates-to-time-series-tp3524679p3525011.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
