x<-read.zoo("textconnection", sep=",", format= "%Y", header=TRUE) plot(x) #this plots all of the years by each month. I would like to plot one long time series from 1968 to 1971 #is there an easy way to do this? I can reformat the data in excel so that the index will be year then month, but this will take a while. the end goal is #to be able to apply some signal processing things like spectral density after fitting the seasonal trend etc. thanks Stephen -- Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the annoying little problems of being mammals. -K.
