Examples

### Example with Robbery Convictions
data(RobberyConvict)
datalen <- dim(RobberyConvict)[1]
monthmat <- matrix(0, nrow = datalen, ncol = 12)
dimnames(monthmat) <- list(NULL, c("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
                                   "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"))
months <- unique(months(strptime(RobberyConvict$Date, format = "%m/%d/%Y"),
                        abbreviate=TRUE))


for (j in 1:12) {
  monthmat[months(strptime(RobberyConvict$Date,  "%m/%d/%Y"),
                  abbreviate = TRUE) == months[j], j] <-1
}

RobberyConvict <- cbind(rep(1, datalen), RobberyConvict, monthmat)
rm(monthmat)
