If you can wait a day or two, the next version (1.18) of the 'tis' package that
I will put on CRAN very soon has a function called tierChart that does
what you want with a 'tis' series.

Well, as the author of two CRAN packages with short names (tis and
fame), I maintain that short names can be fairly informative. The fame
package is an interface to FAME time series databases, and the tis
package implements the tis (TimeIndexedSeries) class and support classes
that it needs.
I know nothing about your package, but list is a terrible name for it,
as list is also the name of a data type in R.

Answering my own question here, so you can ignore this unless you are
really interested in some fairly obscure stuff. It turns out that this works:
singleIndex - missing(j) (length(sys.call()) == length(match.call()))
since sys.call() has an element for the empty

Take a look at the 'ti' stuff in the tis package on CRAN. If I
understand you correctly, you want something like this:
weekNumber - function(aDate){
aTi - ti(aDate, tif = wfriday)
may1ymd - 1*year(aTi) + 501
baseWeek - ti(may1ymd, tif = wfriday)
return(aTi - baseWeek + 1)
}
Or for real power and flexibility, see the 'convert()' function in package
tis.

Yes, it's called Ocular Econometrics. You plot both series on the same chart
and use your onboard pattern detector. If you can't see it on the plot, it's
unlikely that any correlations you find in other ways will have much
predictive power, and that's the only kind of relationship that counts.
My bad. I used system(test -r blah) to see if a file was readable,
forgetting that not all Windows installations have the test program (from
Cygwin) installed. I've changed this to use the R function file.access() in
version 2.5, which I've just submitted to CRAN. The Windows binary should be

Look at the ti (Time Index) class in package tis. Here's some examples I just

ti(x, wsaturday) ## a ti for the week that x falls into
[1] 20080913
class: ti
ti(x + 1, wsaturday) - 1 ## ti for the latest complete week
[1] 20080906
class: ti
Or look at the fame package, which has ti (TimeIndex) and tis
(TimeIndexedSeries) classes that handle this kind of problem. I think it's
simpler and faster than the zoo stuff, but then I would say that, since I
wrote it.
