[R] Time series: xts/zoo object at annual (yearly) frequency

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Maybe one of these are close enough:

  xts(c(2, 4, 5), yearqtr(1991:1993))

  as.xts(ts(c(2, 4, 5), 1991))

of if you want only a plain year as the index then then use zoo,
zooreg or ts class:

  library(zoo)
  zoo(c(2, 4, 5), 1991:1993)

  zooreg(c(2, 4, 5), 1991)

  ts(c(2, 4, 5), 1991)
