[R] ts and stl functions - still a problem

[Spencer Graves]

	  The 'ts' function retains the 'dim' attribute of 'tkr'.  When 'stl' 
finds this 'dim' attribute, it thinks 'tstkr' is a multivariate time 
series.  This causes it to stop with the error, "only univariate series 
allowed".

	  Consider the following modification of an example from the 'stl' help 
file:

 > not.1 <- stl(nottem, "per")
 > Nottem <- ts(array(nottem, dim=c(240, 1)))
 > Not.1 <- stl(Nottem)
Error in stl(Nottem) : only univariate series are allowed

	  Solution:

tstkr <- ts(as.numeric(tkr), deltat=1/12)

	  After converting tkr and tstkr from a matrix to a vector like this, 
please try 'stl(tstkr)'.  If it doesn't work, please submit another post.

	  Hope this helps.

p.s.  Your example was not quite self-contained, because I didn't know 
for sure the format, class, and attributes of your 'tkr' object.  The 
absence of these details made it harder for me (and, I believe, anyone 
else) to reply.  You might get better replies quicker with greater 
attention to such details.
