1. This is not really an R question. I suggest you post to a statistical list like stats.stackexchange.com instead.
2. I also suggest you consult a local statistician. You have a time series with a categorical response. That's not so simple as you think (and folks on stackexchange may provide you greater insight why). What you don't know _can_ hurt you. Ignorance is _not_ bliss. (etc. with other similar clichés.)
