Thanks Petr I thought there might be an equivalent for birthstimeseries[,1] if it were a dataframe, but split function sounds great.
I could not reproduce the second line of your suggestion "l.blist <- lapply(blist, HoltWinters)". I receive the message: Error in decompose(ts(x[1L:wind], start = start(x), frequency = f), seasonal) : time series has no or less than 2 periods What could be going wrong?
