similar to: Randomly sampling subsets of dataframe variable

R users, I am trying to generate a randomized weekday survey schedule that ensures even coverage of weekdays in the sample, where the distribution of variable DOW is random with respect to WEEK. To accomplish this I need to randomly sample without replacement two weekdays per week for each of 27 weeks (only 5 are shown). However, I need to sample from a sequence (3:7) that needs to be

R experts, Hello, I am trying to sample a vector 1:40 without replacement such that no element in the new vector is within 7 units of either of its immediate neighbors. This is part of a larger program I am working on. The following code works well about 65 % of the time (14/40). The problem I encounter happens when the last element remaining to be sampled from the vector STRATA is within 7

Hi, I need to compare two matrices with each other. If you can get one of them out of the other one by resorting the rows and/or the columns, then both of them are equal, otherwise they're not. A matrix could look like this: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [1,] 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 [2,] 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 [3,] 1 0 1 0 0

R community: Hello, I would to like to convert a character date variable from %m/%d/%Y to %m/%d/%y. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have tried functions for changing the formatting and removing the unnecessary digits without success. Mike

Hi all, probably really simple: I seem to be lacking some understanding for the character class: I have a bunch of dates in a dataframe and I want to add a string variable with the weekday for each date. If I use something like mydata$day <- weekdays (mydata$date), I can create subsets for each weekday (eg mydata=="Monday"), but summary (mydata$day) doesn't count the instances for

Hi, I am trying to count weekday of the month using R. For example, 1/4/2001 is the 4th weekday of Jan, and 1/5/2001 is the 5th weekday of the month, and 1/8/2001 is the 6th weekday of the month, etc. I get as far as extracting the weekdays from a sequence of dates (see below). But I have not yet figured out a fast way of counting without using a For Loop. Does anyone know how to do such counting

Hello everyone, My progress has stalled on finding a way of creating a somewhat complicated variable to add to my existing dataframe and I am hoping one of you could help me out. The dataframe below contains only a fraction of the data of my complete dataframe, but all of the variables. What I want to do is add another variable named 'WEEK' to this dataframe that is assigned 1 for row 1

I'm an R noob and have a (maybe) stupid question... I have a table where I have the weekdays and a number for each weekday of entries: Thats what the table looks like... Now I want to have an pie3D plot of this, but obviously the order of the weekdays are not as one would expect... Friday Monday Saturday Sunday Thursday Tuesday Wednesday 119 173 80

Often it is useful to keep a "codebook" to document the contents of a dataset. (By "dataset" I mean a rectangular structure such as a dataframe.) The codebook has as many rows as the dataset has columns (variables, fields). The columns (fields) of the codebook may include: ? variable name ? type (character, factor, integer, etc) ? variable label

For what it's worth, I tried setting my Region | Formats setting to Spanish (Peru) in Windows 10 Control Panel, and got Spanish weekday and month results. I believe on Windows we use the Microsoft C strftime function to produce these strings, with the %A (for weekday) or %B (for month) formats. So this question probably needs to be addressed to Microsoft. Duncan Murdoch On 05/06/2017

Hi, all Here I created a data frame like mydates<- seq(as.Date("2010-05-29"), length = 43, by = "day") myvalues<-runif(43,0,1) myframe<-data.frame(dates=mydates, day=weekdays(dates), value=myvalues) dates day value 1 2010-05-29 Saturday 0.14576143 2 2010-05-30 Sunday 0.37669604

Dear R-users, How do I obtain a sequence of dates consisting of only weekdays without the weekends in R? In S, I can do the following: timeSeq(from="12/17/2007", to="8/25/2008", by="weekdays") I tried using looking at timeSequence (fSeries package) and seq.Date (base package) but I do not know if I can specify "weekdays" rather than "day".

Hi Folks! I'm struggling with dates - but enough about my personal life..... I have two daily time series files. In one (x) the date format is Y/m/d and the other (y) is d/m/y. I used read.zoo on both and they read into R with no problem. Then I use: weekdays(as.Date(x$DATE)) and get what I expect - all the days of the week in my data set. When I use:

Hi, I am wondering if there is a simple way to fix the problem I am having. For unknown reason, I could not get the full name of the factors to be printed in the summary. I have tried to used summary.lm as well but the problem still persists. SJ$Weekday <-

Hi All, I'm fitting an intercept ANOVA model using R. I'm using following contrast statement, so my first level is considered as base level. options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.treatment")) My data has two factors are "Month" and "WeekDay". Due to default alphabetic ordering, the Month(April) and WeekDay(Friday) are considered as base

Hi, I want to reporte some strange behaviour with the "months" function, from base R. When using "months" to extract months from a date column, I'm getting the months in english, when I was expecting months in spanish. When using "weekdays" to extract days of week from a date column, I'm getting the the days in spanish (as expected). My understanding is

Thank you Duncan and Rui for your time and interest in this issue. Maybe it is a problem with Windows 7 and Spanish, and not Windows 10. Let's wait for someone with the same enviroment, before assuming it's a problem with my PC/configuration. 2017-06-05 14:37 GMT-05:00 Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com>: > For what it's worth, I tried setting my Region

Hi, Does anyone know how to add minutes (up to 100 min) to a 24 hour time, to create a new 24 hour time? I can't seem to find any documentation or examples explaining how to do this. The variables of interest are 'ARRIVE','WAIT', and 'DEPART' in the attached partial dataframe. I want 'DEPART' to be the "sum" of 'ARRIVE' and 'WAIT' in
