Very sorry - I mistunderstood and confused split with index.column -
totally my fault.
Ok, now I've run this line:
z <- read.zoo(OrigData, index.column = 2, split = "Brand")
And I am getting:
Error in merge.zoo(` Plus` = c(NA, 98L, 95L, 97L, NA, 98L, 97L, 98L,
NA, :

In addition: There were 11 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
I got the warnings but no error:

Since you didn't say what was expected, I am not in a position to know
if this is success.
And under warnings() it says:
1: In zoo(rval4[[i]], ix[[i]]) :
some methods for “zoo” objects do not work if the index entries in
‘order.by’ are not unique

The problem is that read.zoo is reading your first column as an
index and
it's actually the second column that should be used for that purpose.

Strange, I did attach. Attaching again. Maybe the file just

I have:
names(OrigData):
[1] "Brand" "Month" "Value"
I read ?read.zoo
According to that index should be the column number.
I thought it should be split = 1 in my case - because I am
splitting by
Brand.
But neither split = 1 nor split =2 work.
And split ="Brand" does not work either. Why?

Hello!
I have a data set similar to the data set "monthly" in the example
below:
monthly<-
data
.frame
(month
=
c
(20090301,20090401,20090501,20100301,20100401,20090301,20090401,20090501,20100301,20100401
),monthly
.value=c(100,200,300,101,201,10,20,30,11,21),market=c("Market
A","Market A", "Market A","Market A", "Market A","Market B",
"Market
B","Market B","Market B", "Market B"))
monthly$month<-as.character(monthly$month)
monthly$month<-as.Date(monthly$month,"%Y%m%d")
(monthly)
str(monthly)
I am trying to use read.zoo - like in 3 lines below:
library(zoo)
z <- read.zoo(monthly, split = "market")
(z)
With the artificially produced data set above, it works just fine.
However, with my data it gives me an error:
OrigData<-read.csv("OrigData.csv")
OrigData$Month<-as.character(OrigData$Month)
OrigData$Month<-as.Date(OrigData$Month,"%m/%d/%y")
str(OrigData)
### The result of str(OrigData) is:
'data.frame': 440 obs. of 3 variables:
$ Brand : Factor w/ 11 levels "aBrand","bBrand",..:
Month :Class 'Date' num [1:440] 13514 13545 13573 13604,...
Value: int NA NA NA 100 100 100 100 100 100 99
?read.zoo
You didn't specify the index column correctly. In this case it
needs to
be =
2.
Then I try:
z <- read.zoo(OrigData, split = "Brand")
And get the error:
Error in read.zoo(OrigData, split = "Brand") :
index has 440 bad entries at data rows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
12 13
But the structure of my OrigData is exactly the same as of
monthly. OK
- OrigData always has a few NAs in "Value" coming first - but
that's
consistent for all brands.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks a lot!
Just in case -attaching the actual file.
No. Not attached.
