Hmm, I don't know what this means as trouble shooting, but I get the
following:
1) After library(zoo)
Attaching package: 'zoo'
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:base':
as.Date
and then for the first str(x)
zoo series from 2001-01-02 to 2001-01-06
Data: int [1:5] 1 2 3 4 5
Index: Date[1:5], format: "2001-01-02" "2001-01-03" "2001-01-04"
"2001-01-05" "2001-01-06"
There's obviously something afoot in how the Date class is handled, but I'm
not sure how yet.
