time series analysis

Hello out there,

in their "R Complements" to Modern Applied Statistics W. Venables and
B. Ripley say that there is a lack of time series related functions in
R compared to S plus. Looking at CRAN I didn't find much, too. As I
have to learn something about +-basic ts analysis, e.g. spectral
analysis, I would like to know whether somebody has developed a
"unpublished" time series package for analysis and plotting, which
he/she could make available. Unfortunately, my mathematical and
numerical background knowledge isn't sufficient to do it myself :-(

If there is a S library which could be used, I would appreciate hints,
too!

Many thanks for your help,
Ulf

I have some R functions that I use which you are welcome to try. They are R
programs as I float between Unix Macs and PC's. A word of caution, I am not
an ace programmer and they are not very efficient or good at error
trapping. As they are in R the maximum likelihood estimation is slow. If
you want to try them I will dig them out.

You might be better of with the Timeslab add on. These are the routines
from Newton's Timeslab book ( execellent) and are pretty good. I loaded the
Splus code from Statlib using dynamic load but  I understand that they are
now at CRAN as a package. They work and the documentation ( or at least the
stuff included at Statlib  in Tex (not Latex))is good.
