The tempdisagg package includes methods for temporal disaggregation and interpolation of a low frequency time series to a higher frequency series. Stl stands for seasonal decomposition of time series by loess. R provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques, including linear and nonlinear modeling, classical statistical. Deals with additive or multiplicative seasonal component.
For more details about the graphical parameter arguments, see par. R is an open source language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. Changing color and shape of point in time series plot depending on value of different variable in r. Any metric that is measured over regular time intervals forms a time series.

An example of a time series plot with the posixct and sys. The ggplot2 package recognizes the date format and automatically uses a specific type of x axis. The intraweekly seasonality is usually strongest, so you could in principle work with frequency 7 and hope for the best. In the matrix case, each column of the matrix data is assumed to contain a single univariate time series. After further reading, i discovered the stl command, which to me appears a superior method. A simple example is the price of a stock in the stock market at different points of time on a given day.
