I'm having a lot of trouble plotting my time series data in R Studio. My data is laid out as follows:
tsf
Time Series:
Start = 1995
End = 2021
Frequency = 1

When I attempt rudimentary code to plot the data I get the following
plot(tsf)
'Error in plotts(x = x, y = y, plot.type = plot.type, xy.labels = xy.labels, :
cannot plot more than 10 series as "multiple"'
My data is monthly and therefore 12 months exceed this apparent limit of 10 graphs.I've been able to make some plot by excluding two months but this is not practical for me.
I've looked at lots of answers on this, many of which recommending ggplot() {ggplot2}
The link below had data most closely resembling my data but I still wasn't able to apply it.
issues plotting multivariate time series in R
Any help greatly appreciated.
I think the problem is with the shape of your data. It's indicating Frequency = 1
, showing that it thinks the monthly columns are separate yearly time series, rather than a continuous time series across months. To plot the whole time length you can reshape your time series to match monthly frequency (from a simulated dataset of values):
tsf_switched <- ts(as.vector(t(tsf)), start = 1995, frequency = 12)
plot(tsf)
