Examples

library(lubridate)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
dates <- seq(lubridate::as_date("2000-01-01"),lubridate::as_date("2010-12-31"),"quarter")
values <- rnorm(length(dates))
my.ts <- prepare.ts(dates,values,"month",complete = 0)
plot(my.ts$obj.ts)
ggplot(my.ts$obj.df,aes(dates,val)) + geom_line()
