Hi, I would like to merge two data frames. It is just that I want the merging to be done with some kind of a fuzzy criterion. Let me explain. My first data frame looks like this : ID1 time1 dt 1 2008-01-02 13:11 10 2 2008-01-02 14:20 20 3

Hi, I have two data sources. One records time in PST time zone, the other in GMT. I want to compute the difference between the two, but don't see how. Here is an example where I compute time difference between identical times each (meant to be) relative to its time zone. > as.POSIXlt("2000-05-10 10:15:00", "PST") - as.POSIXlt("2000-05-10 10:15:00",

Hello all!!! I want to measure the duration of events (given a start and an end time). The catch is that I require the output in calender days. This means: 02-Jan-2011 00:01:00 minus 01-Jan-2011 23:59:00 should be 1 day (although the real time difference is only 2 minutes) My data is the following head(episode.ct) [1] "2009-07-13 13:37:20 CEST" "2009-07-14 07:29:20 CEST"

Hello all, I've 2 strings that representing the start and end values of a date and time. For example, time1 <- c("21/04/2005","23/05/2005","11/04/2005") time2 <- c("15/07/2009", "03/06/2008", "15/10/2005") as.difftime(time1,time2) Time differences in secs [1] NA NA NA attr(,"tzone") [1] "" How can i

Hi, I have date and time in a format like this: " 2007-02-21 05:19:00". Do you which function i can use to derterminate the difference in time between this value and an other one. For exemple: this one : 2007-02-21 05:19:00 and this one : 2007-02-20 14:21:53 Thanks a lot, Karine H. _________________________________________________________________

I am trying to do ephemeris calculations in R, which involves calculating an elapsed time. As illustrated below, difftime seems to have problems with my method, since the fractional day is sometimes the correct 0.5 and sometimes the incorrect 0.46. I am doing this on with R-2.6.1 on a powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1 system. I get the same results for as.POSIXlt() instead of as.POSIXct(), but the

How can I apply difftime to a vector of sorted dates? I can do this just fine with diff, but difftime doesn't seem to take in a vector. > diff(r$BOOKING_DATE) Works. Great! > difftime(r$MY_DATE, units="days") Error in as.POSIXct(time2) : argument "time2" is missing, with no default Thanks, Bradford [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I encountered the behavior, that the duplicated method for data.frames gives "false positives" if there are columns of class POSIXct with a clock shift from DST to standard time. time <- as.POSIXct("2012-10-28 02:00", tz="Europe/Vienna") + c(0, 60*60) time [1] "2012-10-28 02:00:00 CEST" "2012-10-28 02:00:00 CET" df <-

Hello! I am trying to compute minimal time on some data like this: mt<-tapply(mrsh$time1,list(mrsh$var1,mrsh$var2),min): a b 145 1054800600 1054789800 340 1054804500 1054794600 349 1054820400 1054792800 55 1054800600 1054789200 57 1054814100 1054791000 78 1054822200 1054790400 843

Hi, I am having trouble using the ave function with a POSIXct object. For example: x<-Sys.time()+0:9*3600 dat<-data.frame(id=rep(c('a',' b','c'),each=10),dt=rep(x,3),i=rep(1:10,3)) dat # This is what I want to do: dat$time.elapsed<-unsplit(lapply(split(dat$dt,dat$id),function(x) x-x[1]),f=dat$id) dat # The above code does the trick, but from the standpoint of

Hello, I wanted to compute the time differenze between to times: first =as.POSIXct( "2012-06-15 16:32:39.0025 CEST") second = as.POSIXct("2012-06-15 16:32:39.0086 CEST") second - first The result is Time difference of 0.006099939 secs instead of just 0.0061 secs So R adds aditional numbers after the result. I know I could round it in this case. But I am working with a

I thought this is a common question but rseek/google searches don't yield any relevant hit. I have a matrix of character strings, which are time stamps, > time.m[1:5,1:5] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] "08:00:20.799" "08:00:20.799" "08:00:20.799" "08:00:20.799" "08:00:20.799" [2,]

R developers, The "tzone" attribute is stripped from a POSIXct object when the subscript command is called ("[.POISXct"). This results in dates being printed in the locale specific format after a subscript operation is applied to a POSIXct object which has cause several problems for me in the past. Here is an example of this problem under R 1.9.1: > x <-

Dear R users, I have a problem computing time differences using R. I have a date that are given using the following format: 20080620.00, where the 4 first digits represent the year, the next 2 ones the month and the last 2 ones the day. I would need to compute time differences between two vectors of this given format. I tried around trying to change this format into any type of time serie

I have just become painfully aware that objects of class "difftime", generated by the difference of two POSIXct objects, carry a "units" attribute, which flashes by when the object is printed, for example. The pain was occasioned when I tried to turn these objects into numberic objects for use elsewhere as a covariate. as.numeric(difftime object) simply turns off the units

Hello, Suppose we need a function that takes a POSIXct object and need to calculate the time difference between it and GMT time: gmtDiff <- function(time) { time.gmt <- as.POSIXct(format(time, tz="GMT")) time.plt <- as.POSIXlt(time) dlstime <- ifelse(time.plt$isdst > 0, 1, 0) timezone <- as.numeric(difftime(time, time.gmt, units="hours"))
