Hi,
   
  I am trying to convert a dataset (dataframe) into time series object using ts function in stats package. My dataset is as follows:
   
  >df
  [1] 11.08 7.08  7.08  6.08  6.08  6.08  23.08 32.08 8.08  11.08 6.08  13.08 13.83 16.83 19.83 8.83  20.83 17.83 
  [19] 9.83  20.83 10.83 12.83 15.83 11.83
   
  I converted this into time series object as follows
   
  >tsdata <-  ts((df),frequency = 12, start = c(1999, 1))
   
  The resulting time series is as follows:

       Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
1999   2  15  15  14  14  14  12  13  16   2  14   5
2000   6   8  10  17  11   9  18  11   1   4   7   3

  I am unable to understand why the values of df and tsdata does not match. I looked at ts function and I couldn't find any data transformation. Am I missing something here? Any pointers would be of great help.
   
  Thanks in advance.
   
  Sachin
