similar to: difftime on vector

Hello all, I've 2 strings that representing the start and end values of a date and time. For example, time1 <- c("21/04/2005","23/05/2005","11/04/2005") time2 <- c("15/07/2009", "03/06/2008", "15/10/2005") as.difftime(time1,time2) Time differences in secs [1] NA NA NA attr(,"tzone") [1] "" How can i

Hi, I would like to merge two data frames. It is just that I want the merging to be done with some kind of a fuzzy criterion. Let me explain. My first data frame looks like this : ID1 time1 dt 1 2008-01-02 13:11 10 2 2008-01-02 14:20 20 3

Since both comparison and negation are well-defined for time differences, I wonder why abs and division are not defined for class difftime. This behavior is clearly documented on the man page: "limited arithmetic is available on 'difftime' objects"; but why? Both are natural, semantically sound, and useful operations and I see no obvious reason that they should give an error:

If you apply the "max" function to a vector of class "difftime" with units="days", the returned value is in units of "seconds". Is this not a bug? At any rate it can lead to confusing results if one buries a call to "max" deep in some data analysis code. Details: > y<-structure(1, class = "difftime", units = "days")

I am trying to write S4 methods with "difftime" in the signature but am being "informed" (? not a warning or error) that "difftime" is not a class. Nevertheless, dispatch takes place. Should I simply ignore that "information"? Here is a toy example: > setClass("foo", contains = "Date") > setMethod("+", c("foo",

R-listers, I have noticed several posts on issues with difftime producing NA's but they have been for older versions of R. Here's the issue associated with difftime that I am dealing with in R 2.12.2. > preciptime = strptime("01/10/2007 14:00",format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M") > class(preciptime) [1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" > # Now using difftime, this

Full_Name: Barry Rowlingson Version: 1.6.0 OS: RH8 i386 Submission from: (NULL) (148.88.136.205) Strange things happen if I premultiply a difftime() object with a number. Example: > d1 <- difftime(Sys.time(),Sys.time()) > d2 <- 1 * difftime(Sys.time(),Sys.time()) > d3 <- difftime(Sys.time(),Sys.time()) * 1 > d1 Time difference of 0 secs - thats fine > d2 [1] 0

I'm new to R and have the following problem with difftime: if I directly assign date/time strings in difftime I get the expected result: > a<-"2010-03-23 10:52:00" > a [1] "2010-03-23 10:52:00" > b<-"2010-03-23 11:53:00" > u2<-as.difftime(c(a,b), format ="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", units="mins") > u2 Time differences in mins

It seems that there are several folks Out There with an itch to scratch with respect to difftimes. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/19223/match=difftime http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/18441/match=difftime http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/10882/match=difftime http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/11675/match=difftime and I might be

Hi, I am trying to take difference of two time objects. I want to fix the result's unit to minutes. How can I do that? Here is an example: > difftime(x, y) Time difference of 2.030720 hours > difftime(x, z) Time difference of 30.34672 mins where x = '2007-03-05 08:32:58' y = '2007-03-05 06:31:07' and z = '2007-03-05 08:02:37' How can I get answer

Hello, ?DateTimeClasses states that "one can add or subtract a number of seconds or a 'difftime' object from a date-time object, but not add two date-time objects." So, is the below expected behavior? > x <- Sys.time() > x [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:56 CST" > x + as.difftime("1","%H") [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:57 CST" Warning

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". However, on R version 2.6.0 (Windows XP) I get > Sys.time() - as.difftime(c("0:3:20", "11:23:15")) Time differences in mins [1] 1191837998 1191837318

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

Dear all, I have a vector generated using the function strptime: > my.dt [1] "2004-04-19 08:35:00 W. Europe Daylight Time" "2004-04-19 09:35:00 W. Europe Daylight Time" "2004-04-19 11:35:00 W.
