[R] correlated events in time series

[Michael Weylandt]

Yes, but you'll need to learn vector (multivariate) time series methods. See, perhaps firstly, B Pfaff's book and corresponding R packages. It's dense, but not too long and will get you going the right way. Terms like VAR and VECM will help guide your googling
