similar to: as.POSIXct on vector weird output

I have two dataframe columns of POXIXct data/times that include seconds. I got them into this format using for example zsort$ETA <- as.POSIXct(as.character(zsort$ETA), format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S") My problem is that when I subtract the two columns, sometimes the difference is given in seconds, and sometimes it is given in minutes. I don't care which it is, but I need to know which

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]]

Friends I have an xts that I wish to access. Browse[2]> DATA.ba[[p]]["2012-03-20 00:59:57","bid"] bid 2012-03-20 00:59:57 1.4993 So far so good. Now putting the index into a variable: Browse[2]> Time [1] "2012-03-20 00:59:57 NZDT" Browse[2]> DATA.ba[[p]][Time, "bid"] bid Where has it gone? Looking closer....

Hi, I use rJava and call Java code that uses JVMTI code like this VM vm = VM.getVM(); Universe universe = vm.getUniverse(); CollectedHeap heap = universe.heap(); This code attaches to another JVM and to get its internals. This is legal Java and it works. But when I use rJava to call this code, the call is successfull and it throws an error. I believe there is Java

Hello all! Can someone confirm whether there is a bug or not? I was trying to use sqlUpdate in place of sqlSave as data set I import has duplications. However I get errors while using fast=FALSE argument to safely update/ignore duplicates: Error while executing the query[RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect 'UPDATE "data" SET "logger"=1,

Hi. After I installed R 3.0.0.pkg for mac version , when click the icon R to startup . I receive the annoucement in red color to inform that something wrongs , but I do not know how to fix them .

I rarely work with dates in R, so I know very little about the POSIXct and POSIXlt classes. I'm importing an excel file into R using the RODBC package, and am having issues reformatting the dates. 1.

1) Why did you submit this *twice*, as PR#7826 and PR#7827? Please don't be so careless of the volunteers' time. 2) > print.POSIXct function (x, ...) { print(format(x, usetz = TRUE, ...), ...) invisible(x) } is definitely *not* implicated. (Use of ... in two places is correct.) 3) On FC3: > unusual_and_faults Error: protect(): protection stack overflow >

In attempting to build R using rpmbuild --rebuild R-2.1.0-0.fdr.2.fc3.src.rpm on a fairly up-to-date RedHat 9 system (that is, with patches installed through May 1 2004), it failed at the make check-all step. The problem was reproducible by going into the tests directory and make test-Segfault The last lines of the saved file no-segfault.Rout.fail are > > ## c.POSIXct : > >

Running "rails new yourapplicationname" creates all the requisite files, however two of them have bad syntax. session_store.rb is: YourApplicationName::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: ''_yourapplicationname_session'' should be: YourApplicationName::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, :key =>

Dear All, what determines if a difference between POSIXct objects gets expressed in days or seconds? In the following example, it's sometimes seconds, sometimes days. as.POSIXct('2009-09-01') - as.POSIXct(NA) Time difference of NA secs c(as.POSIXct('2009-09-01'), as.POSIXct(NA)) - c(as.POSIXct('2009-09-01'), as.POSIXct('2009-08-31')) Time differences in

R 3.5.0 Is it intended that the Date method of as.POSIXct does not respect the tz parameter? I suggest changing as.POSIXct.Date to this: function (x, tz = "", ...) .POSIXct(unclass(x) * 86400, tz = tz) Currently, the best workaround seems to be using the character method if one doesn't want the default timezone (which is often an annoying DST timezone). This came up on

Hello folks, I found a strangeness while experimenting with POSIXct vectors and lists. It seems that coerced NA's aren't "real" NAs, at least as considered by is.na()? > date_vec = c(as.POSIXct(now()), as.POSIXct(now()+1),NA,"b") > date_vec [1] "2012-08-22 15:00:46 COT" "2012-08-22 15:00:47 COT" NA [4] NA Warning message: In

What is the recommended way to convert/coerce and integer to a POSIXct please? d <- as.POSIXct(Sys.Date()) i <- as.integer(d) as.POSIXct(i) Error in as.POSIXct.default(i) : do not know how to convert 'i' to class "POSIXlt" This appears to be the behaviour in 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 on windows XP. I have tried searching on this and found as.Date.integer in package zoo which

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, How do I convert a numeric value indicating the time since 1970, back into a POSIXct class object? I have tried format.POSIXct and as.POSIXct without success. For example > ccc [1] "1945-01-01 15:00:00 MDT" > ddd<- as.numeric(ccc); > ddd [1] -788842800 > format.POSIXct(ddd) Error in format.POSIXct(ddd) : wrong class > as.POSIXct(ddd) Error in

Hey R folks, i found some strange (to me) behaviour with chron to POSIXct conversion. The two lines of code result in two different results, on ewith the correct time zone, one without: library(chron) as.POSIXct(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') as.POSIXlt(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') Only the code below would give me a POSIXct object with the correct time

First, the reproducable example, showing how converting from character to POSIXct to character changes the milliseconds in the first time stamp though not in the second: > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.324') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.323 PDT" > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.325') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.325 PDT" This seems to be due to truncation of

I am using R-1.7.0 and have some data which consist of one vector of numbers and a second corresponding vector of dates belonging to the POSIXct class. I would like to plot the numbers against the dates. What is the best way to do this? It almost works to just call `plot.' However if I do this while using the `ylab' parameter I get a warning message: parameter "ylab"

Dear list-members, I would like to calculate the difference between two points in time. To convert a 'time (GMT)'-character with the format "1/1/1999 01:01:01" into an object of class "POSIXct"', I first use the strptime() as suggested in the details help(as.POSIXct). e.g. starttime<-strptime("1/1/1999 01:01:01",format="%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S")
