Details
The "yearmon"
and "yearqtr"
classes are defined in
package zoo. If holidays
is TRUE
or a vector of
dates then the is.holiday
function is used to determine whether
days are holidays.
The method for ts objects converts the times corresponding to
time(x)
to chron. The ts series must have a frequency that is
a divisor of 12.
