[R] Could someone recommend a package for time series?

[Bannert Matthias]

Hi, 

the Cran Task View about time series that pascal just send is certainly helpful. 
Personally I think the standard ts() already can do a lot for you. Apart from that I like zoo particularly if you have other than yearly frequencies like quarterly or even irregular frequencies to handle. 

This is a pretty nice applied course that uses R for illustration: https://stat.ethz.ch/education/semesters/ss2012/atsa

apart from this course, I think Prof. Rob Hyndman (who also has a blog) has a lot of useful stuff to say when it comes time series analysis with R
