[R] about interpolating data in r

[William Dunlap]

Try approx(), as in:

df <-
data.frame(A=c(10,11,12),B=c(5,5,4),C=c(3.3,4,3),time=as.Date(c("1990-01-01","1990-02-07","1990-02-14")))
with(df, approx(x=time, y=C, xout=seq(min(time), max(time), by="days")))

Do you notice how one can copy and paste that example out of the
mail an into R to see how it works?  It would help if your questions
had that same property - show how the example data could be created.
