\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Creation}} \\
\code{zoo(x, order.by)} & creation of a \code{"zoo"} object
  from the observations \code{x} (a vector or a matrix) and an index
  \code{order.by} by which the observations are ordered. \\
& For computations on arbitrary index classes, methods to the 
  following generic functions are assumed to work: combining \code{c()},
  querying length \code{length()}, subsetting \code{[}, ordering
  \code{ORDER()} and value matching \code{MATCH()}. For pretty
  printing an \code{as.character} and/or \code{index2char} method
  might be helpful.\\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Creation of regular series}} \\
\code{zoo(x, order.by, freq)} & works as above but creates a \code{"zooreg"}
  object which inherits from \code{"zoo"} if the frequency \code{freq} complies
  with the index \code{order.by}. An \code{as.numeric} method has to be
  available for the index class.\\
\code{zooreg(x, start, end, freq)} & creates a \code{"zooreg"} series
  with a numeric index as above and has (almost) the same interface as
  \code{ts()}.\\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Standard methods}} \\
\code{plot} & plotting (alternatives: \code{xyplot} and \code{autoplot})\\
\code{lines} & adding a \code{"zoo"} series to a plot \\
\code{print} & printing \\
\code{summary} & summarizing (column-wise) \\
\code{str} & displaying structure of \code{"zoo"} objects \\
\code{head}, \code{tail} & head and tail of \code{"zoo"} objects \\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Coercion}} \\
\code{as.zoo} & coercion to \code{"zoo"} is available for objects
    of class \code{"ts"}, \code{"its"}, \code{"irts"} (plus a default
    method).\\
\code{as.}\textit{class}\code{.zoo} & coercion from \code{"zoo"} to
    other classes. Currently available for \textit{class} in \code{"matrix"},
    \code{"vector"}, \code{"data.frame"}, \code{"list"}, \code{"irts"},
    \code{"its"} and \code{"ts"}. \\
\code{is.zoo} & querying wether an object is of class \code{"zoo"} \\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Merging and binding}} \\
\code{merge} & union, intersection, left join, right join along indexes\\
\code{cbind} & column binding along the intersection of the index\\
\code{c}, \code{rbind} & combining/row binding (indexes may not overlap)\\
\code{aggregate} & compute summary statistics along a coarser grid of indexes \\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Mathematical operations}} \\
\code{Ops} & group generic functions performed along the intersection of indexes\\
\code{t} & transposing (coerces to \code{"matrix"} before) \\
\code{cumsum} & compute (columnwise) cumulative quantities: sums
    \code{cumsum()}, products \code{cumprod()}, maximum \code{cummax()},
    minimum \code{cummin()}.\\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Extracting and replacing data and index}} \\
\code{index, time} & extract the index of a series\\
\code{index<-}, \code{time<-} & replace the index of a series\\

    using their index\\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{\code{NA} handling}} \\
\code{na.omit} & omit \code{NA}s \\
\code{na.contiguous} & compute longest sequence of non-\code{NA} observations \\
\code{na.locf} & impute \code{NA}s by carrying forward the last observation\\
\code{na.approx} & impute \code{NA}s by interpolation\\[0.5cm]
\code{na.trim} & remove leading and/or trailing \code{NA}s\\[0.5cm]

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Rolling functions}} \\
\code{rollapply} & apply a function to rolling margin of an array \\
\code{rollmean} & more efficient functions for computing the rolling mean, median

\multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Methods for regular series}} \\
\code{is.regular} & checks whether a series is weakly (or strictly if \code{strict = TRUE})
  regular \\
