Hello I am new to R and I need to convert some dates (numeric format by matlab) to actual dates in R. For instance, Matlab -> 730456 -> >> datestr(730456) ans = 02-Dec-1999 R - > library(zoo) > as.Date(730456) [1] "3969-12-03" I don't not mind the output format but it needs to be right. Many thanks Ed

Folks: I thought the following excerpt from Bruce McCullough's post would be a good candidate for the R fortunes package -- except that it's about Excel, not R! So I nominate it... but leave it to others to say whether it's really "qualified" to be nominated. ---- "The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not

A data set I obtained has the hours running from 01 through 24 rather than the conventional 00 through 23. My favorite, strptime, balks at hour 24. I thought it would be easy to correct but it must be too late on Friday for my brain and caffeine isn't helping.

I have a matrix where one column has a date and another column has a time. I need to delete all times before 6am. I had combined the Date and Time column into DateTime. Mat1: Weight Date Time 7.6 04/28/11 09:03 8.4 04/29/11 03:11 8.6 04/29/11 05:32 8.6 04/29/11 09:53 1.4 05/01/11 19:52 I tried just picking up the time: as.POSIXct(Mat1$Time, format = "%H:%M") but

Hi all, I have a list of numbers, e.g., X = c(60593.23, 71631.17, 75320.1), and want to round them so the output is Y = c(60000, 80000, 80000). I tried Y<-round(X,-4), but it gives me Y = c(60000, 70000, 80000). Do anybody know how to round up a number to 10^4? Thank you in advance. Wendy -- View this message in context:

Hi All: We are developing (actually updating) a piece of code that runs in R. Due to some limitations of some the libraries we use, at the present time we would be limited to the 32-bit version of R on Windows. Does anyone have a feel (or even real knowledge) if most people these days run R on Windows in 32-bit or 64-bit mode? This would affect some development decisions. Thanks -Roy M.
