A date/time vector is defined as daily if the vector has not more than one date/time stamp per day.
A date/time vector is defined as monthly if the vector has not more than one date/time stamp per month.
A date/time vector is defined as quarterly if the vector has not more than one date/time stamp per quarter.
A monthly date/time vector is also a daily vector, a quarterly date/time vector is also a monthly vector.
A regular date/time vector is either a monthly or a quarterly vector.
NOT yet implemented is the case of weekly vectors.
The is* functions return TRUE or FALSE depending
on whether the date/time vector fulfills the condition or not.
The function frequency returns in general 1, for quarterly date/time vectors 4, and for monthly vectors 12.
