I'm stuck, but am sure it can be done I just don't understand how.
I have data in an irregular timeseries. I want to be able to use stl to
visualise the data (see seasonal parts etc), so I need to change to regular
series of class ts (I think).
I am using 2 zoo objects one is regular and the other is my irregular data.
I am then merging to create the object I want but when I try to change to a
ts class using as.ts I get the following error:
Error in zoo(coredata(x), tt) :
“x” : attempt to define illegal zoo object.
Can anyone show the error of my ways? I have looked throuh help and the zoo
pdf's but can't see the answer.
Many thanks for any help.
All code and data below (short example).

###Import data:
ttest<-read.csv("la_time_test2.csv", header = T, as.is=TRUE);
tlist<-read.csv("la_time_list2.csv", header = T, as.is=TRUE)
####Convert to zoo:
zooreg_time<-zoo(, as.chron(strptime(tlist$a_datetime, format="%d/%m/%Y
%H"), format = c(dates = "Y-m-d ", times = "H:M:S")),frequency=8760 )
class(zooreg_time)
[1] "zooreg" "zoo"
###Create my zoo objects
###First irregular series. Steps: 1) create vector to order by 2) create zoo
object.
#####Vector to order by:
>zoo_test<- as.chron(strptime(ttest$Ruta_datetime_start, format="%d/%m/%Y
%H"), format = c(dates = "Y-m-d ", times = "H:M:S"))
zoo_test
[1] (2004-Apr-28 08:00:00) (2004-Apr-28 13:00:00)
#####Zoo object:
zoo_test2<-zoo(ttest$Minutos.de.viaje,zoo_test)
zoo_test2
(2004-Apr-28 08:00:00) (2004-Apr-28 13:00:00)
125 295
#####Merge (need to approximate NAs so can change to ts?)
x<-na.approx(merge(zooreg_time,zoo_test2))
x
(2004-Apr-28 08:00:00) (2004-Apr-28 09:00:00) (2004-Apr-28 10:00:00)

######Now change to ts
as.ts(x)
Error in zoo(coredata(x), tt) :
“x” : attempt to define illegal zoo object
