I'm a little confused: what is making data = 1:14 into a 12x12 matrix and
how is that related to AirPassengers?

Best I understand it, tsp is a little fun and included as an S legacy. If
you want to access tsp directly, take a look at the tsp(x) function (and the
associated hasTsp(x) function). If AirPassengers has a tsp attribute, AP2
will have the same tsp, but it's not something I'd recommend directly
playing with -- it's slightly unweildy. Though, if you really do want to
work on an attribute level, the attr function lets you access & change
attributes directly.

More generally, can I ask what you are trying to do: it looks like you are
trying to work with a time series of data (hence the ts class) but what are
the observations supposed to be: individual numbers or arrays? I.e., is the
third observation the number "3" or is it a whole set of observations, like
ID numbers of everyone who flew on a given day.  If the number of
observations at each time step is constant, it might make sense to run
multiple time series with the same time index (eg. the mts sets of
behavior).

I'm personally a big fan of the xts time series, even though it's a little
finance oriented, as it has some great additions to R's native ts class. If
you are trying to aggregate daily data to weekly, the to.weekly() function
will handle that for you; you'll probably want the OHLC=F option.

Hope something in this helps,
