Dear all I try to make hourly average by cut() function, which almost works as *I* expected. What puzled me is that if there is only one item at the end of your data it results in NA. Example will explain what I mean datum<-seq(ISOdate(2004,8,31), ISOdate(2004,9,1), "min") cut(datum[1370:1381],"hour", labels=F) [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NA

Hi, I am new to R, coming from a few years using Stata. I've been twisting my brain and checking several R and S references over the last few days to try to solve this data management problem: I have a data set with a unique patient identifier that is repeated along multiple rows, a variable with month of patient encounter, and a continous variable for cost of individual encounters. The data

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 <-

The following code: cut(as.POSIXct("2009-11-01 04:00:00", tz="America/Los_Angeles"), "1 day") gives the error: Error in seq.int(0, to - from, by) : 'to' must be finite This is related to November 1st, 2009 being the switchover date from daylight savings time to standard time in the America/Los_Angeles time zone. In particular, in cut.POSIXt, the starting

Dear R-people! I am using R 1.8.0, under Windows XP. While using ISOdate() and strptime(), I noticed the following behaviour when "wrong" arguments (e.g., months>12) are given to these functions: > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=20) #ok [1] "2003-02-20 13:00:00 Westeurop?ische Normalzeit" > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=30) #wrong day, but returns a value [1]

Hello R Users, How to convert decimal date to date as YYYY.mm.dd.hr.min.sec For example, I have decimal date in one column , and want to convert and write it in equivalent date(YYYY.mm.dd.hr.min.sec) in another next six columns. 1979.000000 1979.020833 1979.041667 1979.062500 Is it possible in R ?

Hi all, I'm having difficulty converting a 'dates' object to a POSIXct object: testDATES<-c(35947,35971,36004,36008,36053,36066) testDATES<-chron(dates=testDATES, format = c(dates = "m/d/y"), origin=c(month = 12, day = 30, year = 1899)) >[1] 06/01/98 06/25/98 07/28/98 08/01/98 09/15/98 09/28/98 > as.POSIXct(testDATES) [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA

I have asked this question before, and received some suggestions for work-arounds that get the job done--and they are much appreciated. But I would still like to find out if I'm missing something, and whether there is a direct way using POSIXt functions (as.POSIXct, as.POSIXlt, strptime, in particular). I have environmental data collected once per minute. Here is a subset of 3 input

I'd like to make a plot showing frequency of an event. The data is in a data from that includes Year, Month and Day (of month) fields, so I created a Date with ISOdate(Year, Month, Day, tz=''). I can plot frequencies for the year 2002 with > thisyear <- Date[Year==2002] > hist( thisyear, xaxt='n' ) > axis.POSIXct( 1, at=seq(min(thisyear), max(thisyear),

Dear useRs, How come the first attempt to sort a POSIXt vector fails (Error: non-atomic type in greater), while the second succeeds? (Code inserted below.) The documentation says that POSIXt is used to allow operations such as subtraction, so I'd expect sorting to work. Is this perhaps an OS issue? (I run R 2.0.1 on Win xp.) Thank you, b. #------------code test <- c("2005-02-08

The interface for dates in R is a little confusing to me. I want to create a vector of Date objects from vectors of years, months, and days. One solution I found is: years <- c(1991, 1992) months <- c(1, 10) days <- c(1, 2) dates <- as.Date(ISOdate(years, months, days)) But, in this solution the ISOdate function converts the vectors into characters, which can cause serious

Dear all, according to the Help-page of DateTimeClasses {base} I should be able to do time - z with time date-time objects z a numeric vector (in seconds) or an object of class "difftime".

Dear R-helpers, I have a problem converting an object made with the 'chron' function to a POSIXct object: # Make date based on DOY dat <- chron(dates=232, origin.=c(month=1, day=1, year=2008)) dat #[1] 08/20/08 # Converting to POSIXct uses current timezone (Sydney): as.POSIXct(dat) #[1] "2008-08-20 10:00:00 EST" # Setting GMT timezone has no effect? as.POSIXct(dat,
