Importing data

There are a lot of ways to import data into R! Once the data is imported into R, we need to transform the data into an xts object to help with analysis. These xts objects are so much easier to plot and manipulate.

In this exercise you are going to create a date index and then turn your data into an xts object. Your data has been imported for you into an object called bev.

Instructions

100 XP

Load the xts package using the library() function.
Create a date index object called dates that is 176 weeks long starting on Jan, 19, 2014. You will want to use the YYYY-MM-DD format.
Create an xts object called bev_xts based on the dates object for your index and the bev object for your data.
