 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:

 qq = dates('Q')
