Its key design goals are independence\n       of a particular index/time/date class and consistency with base R and the \"ts\" class for\n       regular time series. This paper describes how these are achieved within zoo and provides\n       several illustrations of the available methods for \"zoo\" objects which include plotting,\n       merging and binding, several mathematical operations, extracting and replacing data and\n       index, coercion and NA handling. A subclass \"zooreg\" embeds regular time series into\n       the \"zoo\" framework and thus bridges the gap between regular and irregular time series\n       classes in R.\nKeywords: totally ordered observations, irregular time series, regular time series, S3, R.\n                                         1. Introduction\nThe R system for statistical computing (R Development Core Team 2008, http://www.\nR-project.org/) ships with a class for regularly spaced time series, \"ts\" in package stats,\nbut has no native class for irregularly spaced time series. With the increased interest in com-\nputational finance with R over the last years several implementations of classes for irregular\ntime series emerged which are aimed particularly at finance applications. These include the\nS4 classes \"timeSeries\" in package timeSeries (previously fSeries) from the Rmetrics suite\n(Wuertz 2010), \"its\" in package its (Heywood 2009) and the S3 class \"irts\" in package\ntseries (Trapletti 2009). With these packages available, why would anybody want yet another\npackage providing infrastructure for irregular time series? The above mentioned implemen-\ntations have in common that they are restricted to a particular class for the time scale: the\nformer implementation comes with its own time class \"timeDate\" from package timeDate\n(previously fCalendar) built on top of the \"POSIXct\" class available in base R whereas the\nlatter two use \"POSIXct\" directly. And this was the starting point for the zoo project: the\nfirst author of the present paper needed more general support for ordered observations, inde-\npendent of a particular index class, for the package strucchange (Zeileis, Leisch, Hornik, and\nKleiber 2002). Hence, the package was called zoo which stands for Z’s ordered observations.\nSince the first release, a major part of the additions to zoo were provided by the second author\nof this paper, so that the name of the package does not really reflect the authorship anymore.\nNevertheless, independence of a particular index class remained the most important design\n"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
 [2] "2            zoo: An S3 Class and Methods for Indexed Totally Ordered Observations\ngoal. While the package evolved to its current status, a second key design goal became more\nand more clear: to provide methods to standard generic functions for the \"zoo\" class that\nare similar to those for the \"ts\" class (and base R in general) such that the usage of zoo is\nvery intuitive because few additional commands have to be learned. This paper describes how\nthese design goals are implemented in zoo. The resulting package provides the \"zoo\" class\nwhich offers an extensive (and still growing) set of standard and new methods for working\nwith indexed observations and ‘talks’ to the classes \"ts\", \"its\", \"irts\" and \"timeSeries\".\n(In addition to these independent approaches, the class \"xts\" built upon \"zoo\" was recently\nintroduced by Ryan and Ulrich 2010, .). zoo also bridges the gap between regular and irreg-\nular time series by providing coercion with (virtually) no loss of information between \"ts\"\nand \"zoo\". With these tools zoo provides the basic infrastructure for working with indexed\ntotally ordered observations and the package can be either employed by users directly or can\nbe a basic ingredient on top of which other more specialized applications can be built.\nThe remainder of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 explains how \"zoo\" objects\nare created and illustrates how the corresponding methods for plotting, merging and binding,\nseveral mathematical operations, extracting and replacing data and index, coercion and NA\nhandling can be used. Section 3 outlines how other packages can build on this basic infras-\ntructure. Section 4 gives a few summarizing remarks and an outlook on future developments.\nFinally, an appendix provides a reference card that gives an overview of the functionality\ncontained in zoo.\n                         2. The class \"zoo\" and its methods\nThis section describes how \"zoo\" series can be created and subsequently manipulated, visual-\nized, combined or coerced to other classes. In Section 2.1, the general class \"zoo\" for totally\nordered series is described. Subsequently, in Section 2.2, the subclass \"zooreg\" for regular\n\"zoo\" series, i.e., series which have an index with a specified frequency, is discussed. The\nmethods illustrated in the remainder of the section are mostly the same for both \"zoo\" and\n\"zooreg\" objects and hence do not have to be discussed separately. The few differences in\nmerging and binding are briefly highlighted in Section 2.4.\n2.1. Creation of \"zoo\" objects\nThe simple idea for the creation of \"zoo\" objects is to have some vector or matrix of obser-\nvations x which are totally ordered by some index vector. In time series applications, this\nindex is a measure of time but every other numeric, character or even more abstract vector\nthat provides a total ordering of the observations is also suitable. Objects of class \"zoo\" are\ncreated by the function\nzoo(x, order.by)\nwhere x is the vector or matrix of observations1 and order.by is the index by which the ob-\nservations should be ordered. It has to be of the same length as NROW(x), i.e., either the same\n   1\n     In principle, more general objects can be indexed, but currently zoo does not support this. Development\nplans are that zoo should eventually support indexed factors, data frames and lists.\n"                                  
 [3] "                                  Achim Zeileis, Gabor Grothendieck                                              3\nlength as x for vectors or the same number of rows for matrices.2 The \"zoo\" object created\nis essentially the vector/matrix as before but has an additional \"index\" attribute in which\nthe index is stored.3 Both the observations in the vector/matrix x and the index order.by\ncan, in principle, be of arbitrary classes. However, most of the following methods (plotting,\naggregating, mathematical operations) for \"zoo\" objects are typically only useful for numeric\nobservations x. Special effort in the design was put into independence from a particular class\nfor the index vector. In zoo, it is assumed that combination c(), querying the length(),\nvalue matching MATCH(), subsetting [, and, of course, ordering ORDER() work when applied\nto the index. In addition, an as.character() method might improve printed output4 and\nas.numeric() could be used for computing distances between indexes, e.g., in interpolation.\nBoth methods are not necessary for working with \"zoo\" objects but could be used if avail-\nable. All these methods are available, e.g., for standard numeric and character vectors and\nfor vectors of classes \"Date\", \"POSIXct\" or \"times\" from package chron and \"timeDate\"\nin timeDate. Because not all required methods used to be available for \"timeDate\" in older\nversions of fCalendar, Section 3.3 has a rather outdated example how to provide such methods\nso that \"zoo\" objects work with \"timeDate\" indexes. To achieve this independence of the\nindex class, new generic functions for ordering (ORDER()) and value matching (MATCH()) are\nintroduced as the corresponding base functions order() and match() are non-generic. The\ndefault methods simply call the corresponding base functions, i.e., no new method needs to be\nintroduced for a particular index class if the non-generic functions order() and match() work\nfor this class. R now also provides a new generic xtfrm() which was not available when the\nnew generic ORDER() was introduced. If there is a xtfrm() for a class, the default ORDER()\nmethod typically works.\nTo illustrate the usage of zoo(), we first load the package and set the random seed to make\nthe examples in this paper exactly reproducible.\nR> library(\"zoo\")\nR> set.seed(1071)\nThen, we create two vectors z1 and z2 with \"POSIXct\" indexes, one with random observations\nR> z1.index <- ISOdatetime(2004, rep(1:2,5), sample(28,10), 0, 0, 0)\nR> z1.data <- rnorm(10)\nR> z1 <- zoo(z1.data, z1.index)\nand one with a sine wave\nR> z2.index <- as.POSIXct(paste(2004, rep(1:2, 5), sample(1:28, 10),\n+      sep = \"-\"))\nR> z2.data <- sin(2*1:10/pi)\nR> z2 <- zoo(z2.data, z2.index)\n   2\n     The only case where this restriction is not imposed is for zero-length vectors, i.e., vectors that only have\nan index but no data.\n   3\n     There is some limited support for indexed factors available in which case the \"zoo\" object also has an\nattribute \"oclass\" with the original class of x. This feature is still under development and might change in\nfuture versions.\n   4\n     If an as.character() method is already defined, but gives not the desired output for printing, then an\nindex2char() method can be defined. This is a generic convenience function used for creating character\nrepresentations of the index vector and it defaults to using as.character().\n"
 [4] "4            zoo: An S3 Class and Methods for Indexed Totally Ordered Observations\nFurthermore, we create a matrix Z with random observations and a \"Date\" index\nR>   Z.index <- as.Date(sample(12450:12500, 10))\nR>   Z.data <- matrix(rnorm(30), ncol = 3)\nR>   colnames(Z.data) <- c(\"Aa\", \"Bb\", \"Cc\")\nR>   Z <- zoo(Z.data, Z.index)\nIn the examples above, the generation of indexes looks a bit awkward due to the fact the\nindexes need to be randomly generated (and there are no special functions for random indexes\nbecause these are rarely needed in practice). In “real world” applications, the indexes are\ntypically part of the raw data set read into R so the code would be even simpler. See Section 3\nfor such examples.5\nMethods to several standard generic functions are available for \"zoo\" objects, such as print,\nsummary, str, head, tail and [ (subsetting), a few of which are illustrated in the following.\nThere are three printing code styles for \"zoo\" objects: vectors are by default printed in\n\"horizontal\" style\nR> z1\n  2004-01-05 2004-01-14 2004-01-19 2004-01-25                        2004-01-27 2004-02-07\n  0.74675994 0.02107873 -0.29823529 0.68625772                       1.94078850 1.27384445\n  2004-02-12 2004-02-16 2004-02-20 2004-02-24\n  0.22170438 -2.07607585 -1.78439244 -0.19533304\nR> z1[3:7]\n2004-01-19 2004-01-25 2004-01-27 2004-02-07 2004-02-12\n-0.2982353 0.6862577 1.9407885 1.2738445 0.2217044\nand matrices in \"vertical\" style\nR> Z\n                           Aa             Bb                Cc\n2004-02-02       1.2554339 0.6815732 -0.63292049\n2004-02-08      -1.4945833 1.3234122 -1.49442269\n2004-02-09      -1.8746225 -0.8732929 0.62733971\n2004-02-21      -0.1453861 0.4523490 -0.14597401\n2004-02-22       0.2254242 0.5383894 0.23136133\n2004-02-29       1.2069552 0.3181422 -0.01129202\n2004-03-05      -1.2086102 1.4237978 -0.81614483\n2004-03-10      -0.1103956 1.3477425 0.95522468\n2004-03-14       0.8420238 -2.7384202 0.23150695\n2004-03-20      -0.1901910 0.1230887 -1.51862157\n   5\n     Note, that in the code above a new as.Date method, provided in zoo, is used to convert days since\n1970-01-01 to class \"Date\".

 [6] "6            zoo: An S3 Class and Methods for Indexed Totally Ordered Observations\n2.2. Creation of \"zooreg\" objects\nStrictly regular series are such series observations where the distance between the indexes\nof every two adjacent observations is the same. Such series can also be described by their\nfrequency, i.e., the reciprocal value of the distance between two observations. As \"zoo\" can be\nused to store series with arbitrary type of index, it can, of course, also be used to store series\nwith regular indexes. So why should this case be given special attention, in particular as there\nis already the \"ts\" class devoted entirely to regular series? There are two reasons: First, to\nbe able to convert back and forth between \"ts\" and \"zoo\", the frequency of a certain series\nneeds to be stored on the \"zoo\" side. Second, \"ts\" is limited to strictly regular series and\nthe regularity is lost if some internal observations are omitted. Series that can be created by\nomitting some internal observations from strictly regular series will in the following be refered\nto as being (weakly) regular. Therefore, a class that bridges the gap between irregular and\nstrictly regular series is needed and \"zooreg\" fills this gap. Objects of class \"zooreg\" inherit\nfrom class \"zoo\" but have an additional attribute \"frequency\" in which the frequency of\nthe series is stored. Therefore, they can be employed to represent both strictly and weakly\nregular series.\nTo create a \"zooreg\" object, either the command zoo() can be used or the command\nzooreg().\nzoo(x, order.by, frequency)\nzooreg(data, start, end, frequency, deltat, ts.eps, order.by)\nIf zoo() is called as in the previous section but with an additional frequency argument,\nit is checked whether frequency complies with the index order.by: if it does an object of\nclass \"zooreg\" inheriting from \"zoo\" is returned. The command zooreg() takes mostly the\nsame arguments as ts().6 In both cases, the index class is more restricted than in the plain\n\"zoo\" case. The index must be of a class which can be coerced to \"numeric\" (for checking\nits regularity) and when converted to numeric the index must be expressable as multiples of\n1/frequency. Furthermore, adding/substracting a numeric to/from an observation of the index\nclass, should return the correct value of the index class again, i.e., group generic functions\nOps should be defined.7\nThe following calls yield equivalent series\nR> zr1 <- zooreg(sin(1:9), start = 2000, frequency = 4)\nR> zr2 <- zoo(sin(1:9), seq(2000, 2002, by = 1/4), 4)\nR> zr1\n     2000(1)        2000(2)          2000(3)        2000(4)         2001(1)        2001(2)       2001(3)\n  0.8414710      0.9092974        0.1411200 -0.7568025 -0.9589243 -0.2794155                  0.6569866\n     2001(4)        2002(1)\n  0.9893582      0.4121185\nR> zr2\n   6\n     Only if order.by is specified in the zooreg() call, then zoo(x, order.by, frequency) is called.\n   7\n     An application of non-numeric indexes for regular series are the classes \"yearmon\" and \"yearqtr\" which\nare designed for monthly and quarterly series respectively and are discussed in Section 3.4.\n"

It relies on plot and lines\nmethods being available for the index class which can plot the index against the observations.\nBy default the plot method creates a panel for each series\n"

But the plot method for \"zoo\" objects\noffers some more flexibility in specification of graphical parameters as in\nR> plot(Z, type = \"b\", lty = 1:3, pch = list(Aa = 1:5, Bb = 2, Cc = 4),\n+   col = list(Bb = 2, 4))\nThe argument lty behaves as before and sets every series in another line type. The pch\nargument is a named list that assigns to each series a different vector of plotting characters\neach of which is expanded to the number of observations. Such a list does not necessarily\nhave to include the names of all series, but can also specify a subset. For the remaining series\nthe default parameter is then used which can again be changed: e.g., in the above example\nthe col argument is set to display the series \"Bb\" in red and all remaining series in blue.\nThe results of the multiple panel plots are depicted in Figure 2 and the single panel plot in\nFigure 1.\n2.4. Merging and binding\nAs for many rectangular data formats in R, there are both methods for combining the rows\nand columns of \"zoo\" objects respectively.

In the case of merging of objects\nwith different index classes, R gives a warning and tries to coerce the indexes. Merging\nobjects with different index classes is generally discouraged—if it is used nevertheless, it is\nthe responsibility of the user to ensure that the result is as intended. If at least one of the\nmerged/binded objects was a \"zooreg\" object, then merge tries to return a \"zooreg\" object.\nThis is done by assessing whether there is a common maximal frequency and by checking\nwhether the resulting index is still (weakly) regular.\nIf non-\"zoo\" objects are included in merging, then merge gives plain vectors/factors/matrices\nthe index of the first argument (if it is of the same length).

Using the aggregate\nmethod, \"zoo\" objects are split into subsets along a coarser index grid, summary statistics\nare computed for each and then the reduced object is returned. In the following example,\nfirst a function is set up which returns for a given \"Date\" value the corresponding first of the\nmonth.

Rolling functions\nA typical task to be performed on ordered observations is to evaluate some function, e.g., com-\nputing the mean, in a window of observations that is moved over the full sample period. The\nresulting statistics are usually synonymously referred to as rolling/running/moving statistics.\nIn zoo, the generic function rollapply12 is provided along with a \"zoo\" and a \"ts\" method.\nThe most important arguments are\nrollapply(data, width, FUN)\nwhere the function FUN is applied to a rolling window of size width of the observations data.\nThe function rollapply by default only evaluates the function for windows of full size width\nand then the result has width - 1 fewer observations than the original series and is aligned at\nthe center of the rolling window. Setting further arguments such as partial, align, or fill\nalso allows for rolling computations on partial windows with arbitrary aligning and flexible\nfilling. For example, without partial evaluation the ‘lost’ observations could be filled with NAs\nand aligned at the left of the sample.\nR> rollapply(Z, 5, sd)\n                            Aa             Bb             Cc\n2004-02-09        1.2814876      0.8018950      0.8218959\n2004-02-21        1.2658555      0.7891358      0.8025043\n2004-02-22        1.2102011      0.8206819      0.5319727\n2004-02-29        0.8662296      0.5266261      0.6411751\n2004-03-05        0.9363400      1.7011273      0.6356144\n2004-03-10        0.9508642      1.6892246      0.9578196\nR> rollapply(Z, 5, sd, fill = NA, align = \"left\")\n                            Aa             Bb             Cc\n2004-02-02        1.2814876      0.8018950      0.8218959\n2004-02-08        1.2658555      0.7891358      0.8025043\n2004-02-09        1.2102011      0.8206819      0.5319727\n2004-02-21        0.8662296      0.5266261      0.6411751\n2004-02-22        0.9363400      1.7011273      0.6356144\n2004-02-29        0.9508642      1.6892246      0.9578196\n2004-03-05                  NA             NA             NA\n   12\n      In previous versions of zoo, this function was called rapply.

Combining zoo with other packages\nThe main purpose of the package zoo is to provide basic infrastructure for working with\nindexed totally ordered observations that can be either employed by users directly or can be\na basic ingredient on top of which other packages can build. The latter is illustrated with\na few brief examples involving the packages strucchange, tseries and timeDate/fCalendar in\nthis section. Finally, the classes \"yearmon\" and \"yearqtr\" (provided in zoo) are used for\nillustrating how zoo can be extended by creating a new index class.\n3.1. strucchange: Empirical fluctuation processes\nThe package strucchange provides a collection of methods for testing, monitoring and dating\nstructural changes, in particular in linear regression models. Tests for structural change assess\nwhether the parameters of a model remain constant over an ordering with respect to a specified\nvariable, usually time. To adequately store and visualize empirical fluctuation processes\nwhich capture instabilities over this ordering, a data type for indexed ordered observations is\nrequired. This was the motivation for starting the zoo project.\nA simple example for the need of \"zoo\" objects in strucchange which can not be (easily)\nimplemented by other irregular time series classes available in R is described in the following.\nWe assess the constancy of the electrical resistance over the apparent juice content of kiwi\nfruits.13 The data set fruitohms is contained in the DAAG package (Maindonald and Braun\n2009).

For\nhistorical reasons and completeness, we still briefly comment on the communcation between\nthe packages and their classes.\nAlthough the methods in zoo work out of the box for many index classes, it might be necessary\nfor some index classes to provide c(), length(), [, ORDER() and MATCH() methods such\nthat the methods in zoo work properly. Previously, this was the case \"timeDate\" from the\nfCalendar package which is why it was used as an example in this vigntte. Meanwhile however,\nboth zoo and fCalendar/timeDate have been enhanced: The latter contains the methods for\nc(), length(), and [, while zoo has methods for ORDER() and MATCH() for class \"timeDate\".\nThe last two functions essentially work by coercing to the underlying \"POSIXct\" and then\nusing the associated methods.\nThe following example illustrates how z2 can be transformed to use the \"timeDate\" class.\nR> library(\"timeDate\")\nR> z2td <- zoo(coredata(z2), timeDate(index(z2), FinCenter = \"GMT\"))\nR> z2td\n 2004-01-05 2004-01-14          2004-01-19 2004-01-25 2004-01-27            2004-02-07\n 0.94306673 -0.04149429         0.59448077 -0.52575918 -0.96739776          0.95605566\n 2004-02-12 2004-02-16          2004-02-20 2004-02-24\n-0.62733473 -0.92845336         0.56060280 0.08291711\n3.4.

Adding a format and as.character method\nproduces human readable character representations of \"yearmon\" data and Ops and MATCH\nmethods complete the methods needed for conveniently working with monthly data in zoo.\nNote, that all of these methods are very simple and rather obvious (as can be seen in the zoo\nsources), but prove very helpful in the following examples.\nFirst, we create a regular series zr3 with \"yearmon\" index which leads to improved printing\ncompared to the regular series zr1 and zr2 from Section 2.2.\nR> zr3 <- zooreg(rnorm(9), start = as.yearmon(2000), frequency = 12)\nR> zr3\n    Jan 2000        Feb 2000      Mar 2000       Apr 2000       May 2000      Jun 2000\n-0.30969096      0.08699142 -0.64837101 -0.62786277 -0.61932674 -0.95506154\n    Jul 2000        Aug 2000      Sep 2000\n-1.91736406      0.38108885 1.51405511\nThis could be aggregated to quarterly data via\nR> aggregate(zr3, as.yearqtr, mean)\n    2000 Q1        2000 Q2     2000 Q3\n-0.2903569 -0.7340837 -0.0074067\nThe index can easily be transformed to \"Date\", the default being the first day of the month\nbut which can also be changed to the last day of the month.\nR> as.Date(index(zr3))\n[1] \"2000-01-01\" \"2000-02-01\" \"2000-03-01\" \"2000-04-01\" \"2000-05-01\"\n[6] \"2000-06-01\" \"2000-07-01\" \"2000-08-01\" \"2000-09-01\"\nR> as.Date(index(zr3), frac = 1)\n[1] \"2000-01-31\" \"2000-02-29\" \"2000-03-31\" \"2000-04-30\" \"2000-05-31\"\n[6] \"2000-06-30\" \"2000-07-31\" \"2000-08-31\" \"2000-09-30\"\n"

Summary and outlook\nThe package zoo provides an S3 class and methods for indexed totally ordered observations,\nsuch as both regular and irregular time series. Its key design goals are independence of a\nparticular index class and compatibility with standard generics similar to the behaviour of\nthe corresponding \"ts\" methods. This paper describes how these are implemented in zoo and\nillustrates the usage of the methods for plotting, merging and binding, several mathematical\noperations, extracting and replacing data and index, coercion and NA handling.\nAn indexed object of class \"zoo\" can be thought of as data plus index where the data are\nessentially vectors or matrices and the index can be a vector of (in principle) arbitrary class.\nFor (weakly) regular \"zooreg\" series, a \"frequency\" attribute is stored in addition. There-\nfore, objects of classes \"ts\", \"its\", \"irts\" and \"timeSeries\" can easily be transformed into\n\"zoo\" objects—the reverse transformation is also possible provided that the index fulfills the\nrestrictions of the respective class. Hence, the \"zoo\" class can also be used as the basis for\nother classes of indexed observations and more specific functionality can be built on top of it.\nFurthermore, it bridges the gap between irregular and regular series, facilitating operations\nsuch as NA handling compared to \"ts\".\nWhereas a lot of effort was put into achieving independence of a particular index class, the\ntypes of data that can be indexed with \"zoo\" are currently limited to vectors and matrices,\ntypically containing numeric values. Although, there is some limited support available for\nindexed factors, one important direction for future development of zoo is to add better support\nfor other objects that can also naturally be indexed including specifically factors, data frames\nand lists.\n"
