[R] ts.data plot

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Assuming the first observation associated with each year is Jan 1,
the second is Jan 2 and so on we have the following.  as.yearmon
converts the year into a year/month object and as.Date turns that
into Jan 1 of that year.  Then the ave calculation adds 0, 1, ...
to that so we get sequential dates within years.  Then we create
a zoo object whose values are obs and whose times were just
calculated and plot.

names(DF) <- c("year", "obs")
library(zoo)
z <- with(DF, zoo(obs,
	as.Date(as.yearmon(1900 + year)) + ave(year, year, FUN = seq_along) - 1))
plot(z)
