Seasonal pattern analysis

Hello everyone,

I want to do a seasonal pattern analysis of a disease incidence. I have the
data on incidence number in each month for 3 years. I saw a good package
called "season" in R. But it looks like it does the analysis for monthly,
weekly or daily fashion. But I need to do the analysis for summer, winter,
spring and autumn. Can anybody give me some help on choosing most suitable
package to do this?

Thanks much
ARshad

Hi,

I suggest you use* ts* function which can create timeseries object of your
data. You can also use* subset* function to subset the data for some
particular months.  I am not sure whether this can help since I don't have
your data to try.

All the best!
