Creating a Time Series in R

Steven Sanderson says it’s time:

The ts() function in R is a fundamental tool for handling time series data. It takes four main arguments:

1. data: A vector or matrix of time series values.
2. start: The time of the first observation.
3. end: The time of the last observation.
4. frequency: The number of observations per unit of time.

Read on for an example of how this all works, as well as a function in the TidyDensity package to convert data into the R time series format.
