Try this: > library(zoo) > Lines <- "-8 100 + -6 20.2 + -1 1.5 + 2 3.00 + 3 78.8 + 5 33.2 + 6 44.5 + 7 5.00" > DF <- read.table(textConnection(Lines)) > z <- zoo(DF$V2, DF$V1) > zz <- merge(z, zoo(, seq(min(time(z)), max(time(z)))), fill = 0); zz -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 100.0 0.0 20.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.5 0.0 0.0 3.0 78.8 0.0 5 6 7 33.2 44.5 5.0
If you want to create a data frame from that try this: newDF <- data.frame(Time = time(zz), Value = coredata(zz)) although you might be best off to just leave it as a zoo object so that you can make use of other zoo methods too. > plot(zz, type = "o") See the three zoo vignettes (PDF documents) for more info.
