In an ldats object, the names attribute associates labels with each time point. This might be useful for associating dates with the time series, for example.
Example 3.7:Like ordinary S-PLUS vectors, you can index an ldats object by names; thus in the above example rat["Oct 16"] returns the value 114. The names attribute of a time series is also used as the plotting label by the identify command -- see Section 2.3.11.
