Who
would guess just asking the R help forum would turn up a grad med student whose
PhD in modeling time series of epidemics with R, living around the
corner! I guess I'm now officially one small step
up from rank beginner... Anyway, it doesn't appear that
R makes it at all easy to use data with arbitrary time scales,
however, which is disappointing. I just want
a graphing database that other systems researchers use that treats
time as a real number. Is that too much to
ask?? R's time-series objects appear
to require orderly data with points at constant time periods, and
can't relate to others with different periods... My data and
issues tend to fail on both counts!
The
session did give me a whole bunch of names of other people working on
non-parametric data imaging, so I'll bet someone somewhere deals directly
with the underlying problem, i.e. that life most certainly happens, but just
not on schedule! I've gotten more than a couple
great suggestions on FRIAM! Any
others?

That's simple enough! Thanks Nick & Roger, now I just need a couple free months to get back to where I was with the new tool! Of course... there would be more reason to do that if anyone were to send me some of their puzzling time series data sets to let me explore and see if I can find what's happening... No promises, but I usually find something quite new and interesting because I ask a different set of questions.-----Original Message-----
