%! @sp 1
%! @table @ @var
%! @item a
%! Date. For Quaterly, Monthly or Weekly data, a must be a string. For yearly data or if the frequence is not
%! defined must be an integer. If @var{a} is a dynDate object, then date will be a copy of this object. If
%! the constructor is called without input argument, it will return an empty dynDate object.

%! @strong{Properties}
%! @sp 1
%! The constructor defines the following properties:
%! @sp 1
%! @table @ @var
%! @item freq
%! Scalar integer, the frequency of the time series. @var{freq} is equal to 1 if data are on a yearly basis or if
%! frequency is unspecified. @var{freq} is equal to 4 if data are on a quaterly basis. @var{freq} is equal to
%! 12 if data are on a monthly basis. @var{freq} is equal to 52 if data are on a weekly basis.
%! @item time
%! Row vector of integers (1*2) indicating the year and the week, month or quarter of the first observation.
