I am not sure whether I could understand all things. Here is my code :

library(zoo)
# an reproducible example
SD <- 1
date1 <- seq(as.Date("2001-01-01"), as.Date("2002-12-1"), by = "day")
len1 <- length(date1)
set.seed(1) # to make it reproducible
data1 <- zoo(rnorm(len1), date1)
plot(data1)

# calculation for monthly or quarterly mean
calc = function(frequ = c("M S", "Q S"))
              {
               switch(frequ
                       "M S" = aggregate(data1, as.yearmon, mean)
                       "Q S" = aggregate(data1, as.yearqtr, mean))
              }

However I am getting lot of errors while executing. Any further suggestion?

Regards,
