Reg: Frequency in declaring time series data

Dear All,

I have a time series daily data with date are stored ( %dd-%mm-%yy format )
from 22-01-20 to 03-08-21. In total I have 560 observations. I am using the
following command to declare as a time series object. Here the the data set
is 7 days a week.
oil <- read_xlsx("crudefinal.xlsx")
pricet=ts(oil$price, start = c(2020, 22), freq = 365)
roilt=ts(diff(log(oil$price))*100,start=c(2020,22), freq=365)

Shall I have to declare the dates here?  I want to know also if it is a 5
day trading a week, how to declare the frequency.

Looking forward to your reply

Hello,

Package zoo is the best way of having dates in a time series. The 
package comes with several vignettes that can get you started quickly.
See the difference between classes ts and zoo below.

# make up some test data
oil <- data.frame(price = cumsum(rnorm(560)))
oil$date <- seq(as.Date("2020-01-22"), by = "1 day", length.out = 560)

# base R
pricet <- ts(oil$price, start = c(2020, 22), freq = 365)
time(pricet)
index(pricet)
plot(pricet)

#---

library(zoo)
library(ggplot2)

pricez <- zoo(oil$price, order.by = oil$date)
time(pricez)
index(pricez)
autoplot(pricez)

vignette(package = "zoo")


Hope this helps,
