[R] I'm trying to use package ts (decompose). How do you set up the data/ See attached. thanks

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Package ts in R contains no functionality, it having been moved to package 
stats.  The function ts() was not in package ts in older versions either.

I have no idea what your data refer to (quarters, probably, but of which 
years?).  Assumming you know the time base, see the help page ?ts for how 
to create a time series.

BTW, read.table is intended for reading a table, not a single variable, 
and scan() might be easier.
