S3 Infrastructure for Regular and Irregular Time Series (Z's Ordered Observations)

An S3 class with methods for working with regular and irregular time series. The class stores data as numeric vectors/matrices (or factors) along with a time index of arbitrary class (including numeric, Date, POSIXct, chron, yearmon, yearqtr, etc.). Functions and methods are consistent with the ts class and base R and also extend standard generics. Tools include: Data import/export, coercion, visualization (with base R, 'ggplot2', 'lattice', 'tinyplot'), alignment and merging, aggregation, lags and subsets, rolling analytics, and time-based interpolation/filling. The design is introduced in Zeileis and Grothendieck (2005) <doi:10.18637/jss.v014.i06>.
