@deftypefnx {dates} dates (@code{FREQ})
Returns an empty @dates object with a given frequency (if the constructor is called with one input argument). @code{FREQ} is a character equal to 'Y' or 'A' for annual dates, 'Q' for quaterly dates, 'M' for monthly dates or 'W' for weekly dates. Note that @code{FREQ} is not case sensitive, so that, for instance, 'q' is also allowed for quaterly dates. The frequency can also be set with an integer scalar equal to 1 (annual), 4 (quaterly), 12 (monthly) or 52 (weekly). The instantiation of empty objects can be used to rename the @dates class. For instance, if one only works with quaterly dates, he can create @code{qq} as:
@example
qq = dates('Q')
@end example
and a @dates object holding the date @code{2009Q2}:

A list of the available methods, by alphabetical order, is given below. Note that the Matlab/Octave classes do not allow in place modifications: when a method is applied to an object a new object is instantiated. For instance, to apply the method @code{multiplybytwo} to an object @code{X} we write:
