I am currently writting programs that deall with time series annalysis (like the Tisean package for c). I have got to a stage where i have converted the time series into a big list of vectors which need to be output and processessed. I am not sure how i should output them; either prescenting each vector as a row and the next vector on the next line like "1 2 3 2 3 4 4 5 6" or putting each vector as a column and putting in a gap or symbol in between "1 2 3 2 3 4 4 5 6" My main concern is how is how i should read them. Frankly i have only dealt with programs that dealt with lists of numbers before, so have little idea how eiither would work.
