[R-sig-eco] R-sig-ecology Digest, Vol 5, Issue 5

[Phil Turk]

Louis:

R has many options for time series analysis.  Google "R time series".

A couple of good books to get you started are 1.) Time Series Analysis: 
With Applications in R by Cryer and Chan and 2.) Time Series Analysis 
and Its Applications: With R Examples by Shumway and Stoffer.
