similar to: using "aggregate" when variable names contain spaces

Hello! I am aggregating using a formula in aggregate - of the type: aggregate(cbind(var1,var2,var3)~factor1+factor2,sum,data=mydata) However, I actually have an object (vector of my variables to be aggregated): myvars<-c("var1","var2","var3") I'd like my aggregate formula (its "cbind" part) to be able to use my "myvars" object. Is it

I'm having a problem with aggregate.formula when I call it in a function and the function is converted from a string in the funtion I think my problem may also only occur when the left hand side of the formula is cbind(...) Here is example code that generates a dataset and then the error. The first function "agg2" fails > agg2(FALSE) do agg 2 Error in m[[2L]][[2L]] : object

Hi all, this one left me a bit puzzled, as I don't seem to find a function to perform this easily. I must have overlooked the obvious, so sorry in advance. I have a list of dates in numerical format (i.e. 34576), defined as the number of days that passed since january 1st 1900. So I apply the function : > MyDate <-as.Date(34576,origin="1900-01-01") > MyDate [1]

Dear Listers, Apologize to pile up on the 'tz' issue in POSIX objects. I have a 'simple' thing on which I must make up my mind but cannot do it from the existing R-help threads. I am currently working on dog telemetry in China, and download time information from GPS collars. I would like to set up the corresponding POSIXxx variables in R to a given time zone. Eg Pekin

I would like to use POSIX classes to store dates and extract components of dates. Following the example in Spector ("Data Manipulation in R"), I create a date > mydate = as. POSIXlt('2005-4-19 7:01:00') I then successfully extract the day with the command > mydate$day [1] 19 But when I try to extract the month > mydate$mon [1] 3 it returns the wrong month. And

Hello! I have my data frame "mydata" (below) and data frame "reference" - that contains all the dates I would like to be present in the final data frame. I am trying to merge them so that the the result data frame contains all 8 dates in both subgroups (i.e., Group1 should have 8 rows and Group2 too). But when I merge it it's not coming out this way. Any hint would be

Dear R-users, suppose I have three dataframes like these df1: mydate min_temp 31032013 12 01042013 8 02042013 -999 df2: mydate min_temp 31032013 10 01042013 11 02042013 14 df3: mydate min_temp 31032013 4 01042013 3 02042013 5 where -999 means that the temperature data is not available (at the moment I cannot change it to NA because I am not the db administrator); suppose also that oggi is

hello, I got a problem with plotting large time series, since I want to store the results in a .PDF file (I want to store several pages of plots). The PDF files get too large to be handled (> 10MB, one was even 200MB big). So I wonder, if there would be a possibilty to either - reduce the file size of the PDF - change the way the plot is generated to reduce the plot size? I use:

Hi, I wonder if someone can suggest how to create a new data.frame Y from X where X$PL_Pos is summed by each unique X$MyDate. Y should end up with two (or more) columns Y$MyDate and Y$PL_Sum with its value being the cumsum of all the values in X for that date. - a 'daily cumsum'. Thanks, Mark TStoDate = function (TSDate) { X = strptime(TSDate + 19e6L, "%Y%m%d")

Hello! I have a data frame with dates. I need to create a new "month" that starts on the 20th of each month - because I'll need to aggregate my data later by that "shifted" month. I wrote the code below and it works. However, I was wondering if there is some ready-made function in some package - that makes it easier/more elegant? Thanks a lot! # Example data:

Hi, I have problem with upssched on windows. Upssched is not executed. I have 2 scripts, 1 for notification in upsmon and second for scheduling in upssched. Monitoring is working fine, script write to log. I'm using binary windows installer 2.6.5-6 from NUT.

I have a data set with about 6 million rows and 50 columns. It is a mixture of dates, factors, and numerics. What I am trying to accomplish can be seen with the following simplified data, which is given as dput output below. > head(myData) mydate gender mygroup id 1 2012-03-25 F A 1 2 2005-05-23 F B 2 3 2005-09-08 F B 2 4 2005-12-07 F B 2

Hello R-user bug seekers are needed! In order to perform these simple tasks you have to use a copy of SPSS and obviously R. The problem is that date conversion of data coming from SPSS gives wrong results, if we follow ?as.POSIXct ## SPSS dates (R-help 2006-02-17) z <- c(10485849600, 10477641600, 10561104000, 10562745600) as.Date(as.POSIXct(z, origin="1582-10-14",

Hi, I have a data.frame SAMPLES with columns: Site Site# Season Day1 Day2 Day3 Day1, Day2, Day3 are class "Date", the other columns are numeric or factor. I have a date "mydate" that may or may not be listed in my data.frame and I need to find that out. If "mydate" is there, I want to get the number of the data.frame row where it occurs.

Dear R users, I have problem with the library fCalendar. I am not using the US standard format notations. It seems like it is not possible to have different format than the US standards. Anyone how knows a way to go around this problem? Here is the code I enter: myDate = "12.03.2005" timeDate(myDate, format = "%d.%m.%Y") And I get following error message: Error in if

Hi All! I have been messing around with this problem for about a week but to no avail! The following data has been cut down in order to make my question reproducible. The alldat data frame includes 2 columns: 1 date column and 1 factor column (equity names)).

r-devel, I've been trying to write a C plugin for R, and I'm struggling to understand how dates are represented. I can create a date in R: > mydate<-as.Date(1, origin="1900-01-01") mydate [1] "1900-01-02" When I pass my date to a plugin, though, it's type is that of a real. There doesn't seem to be a date type in Rinternals.h, is there a way to

Hi, I have some confusion in applying a function over a column. Here's my function. I just need to shift non-March month-ends to March month-ends. Initially I tried seq.dates, but one cannot give a negative increment (decrement) here. return(as.Date(seq.dates(format(xdate,"%m/%d/%Y"),by="months",len=4)[4]) ) Hence this simple function: > mydate <-

Hello all, I don' like to have ( ) around my datetime, when send the csv file to somebody.
