Hi Advait,

if you want to keep all time properties, the package "timetools" may help you to do so. This package defines the class "TimeIntervalDataFrame" which can be a good start to look at.

Best,

Vlad

whether I am being clear in a mathematical sense, or if the above is
possible - please excuse, I am new to time series.

Thanks!

Do you want to run the analysis on the hourly data or some aggregate of
it, please?

Subject: [R-sig-Geo] hourly time series

Dear all,

I have one year's worth of hourly data, starting from 1st April 2010 and
ending on 31st March 2011. I would like to perform time series analysis on
it. Not having used "ts" before, I am having trouble setting it up to
correctly represent the data. I have R reading in the time series via:
*wind_ts<- ts(wind.MH,start=1,frequency=1)*


where "wind.MH" is a 8760x1 matrix object. I then tried to decompose the
time series with the following error:
*wind_ts_components<- decompose(wind_ts)*
*Error in decompose(wind_ts) : time series has no or less than 2 periods*


The dataset is the hourly wind generation for Maharashtra, India and has
some seasonality associated with the Indian monsoon. Ultimately, this is
what I would like to identify. I imagine that correctly setting the "start"
and "frequency" parameters is necessary to be able to parse the dataset
  into months and seasons.

I would greatly appreciate help on how to handle this and any leads on time
series analysis for hourly data in general.

Regards,
