Hi I am new with R.Currently I am using time series forecasting to do daily forecasting for predicting request per day.The dataset which i am using has unevenly spaced date a snapshot of dataset is given below I have to find the best model which can help me in predicting the future request which can make forecast for next 15 days.I have used zoo package for dealing with irregular time series data but now I am unable to implement "ets" and "ar" and "arima" model with this as it expects the series to be regular and evenly spaced and it gives me warning " Missing values encountered. Using longest contiguous portion of time series"  but still I proceed for forecast then it is showing me date in the format like "1.711600e+04" and point of forecast is same for nearly all the dates.

My question is how to implement ets and other model on zoo objects which show me correct date format.Based on other suggestions i have also tried converting zoo to ts but it is again showing "NA" for the dates which are not present in the dataset and give same result which I specified above.

How to do time series forecasting with uneven or irregular dates using zoo objects in R.
