similar to: Combining month and year into a single variable

Hi, Given a date, how do I get the last date of that month? I have data in the form YYYYMM, that I've read as a date using > x$Date <- as.Date(ISOdate(substr(x$YearEnd,1,4),substr(x$YearEnd,5,6),1)) But this gives the first day of the month. To get the last day of the month, I tried > as.Date(as.yearmon(x$Date,frac=0)) But I don't get the last day of the month here. (Tried

Hello, I am trying to define a different interval for a "year". In hydrology, a "water year" is defined as the period between October 1st and September 30 of the following year. I was wondering how I might do this in R. Say I have a data.frame like the following and I want to extract a variable with the water year specs as defined above:

Hi Using the ggplot2 package, I would like to obtain a plot that contains two time series that have data points on different dates. For instance, one data frame looks like: date1, value1 2010-01-05, 2921.74 2010-01-08, 2703.89 2010-01-14, 3594.21 2010-01-20, 3659.22 The other data frame looks like date2, value2 2010-01-01, 285.85 2010-01-02, 229.20 2010-01-05, 333.91 2010-01-06, 338.27

Hi, I have a query about sqldf, and dates in general. I couldnt find much on the net or on the forums, hence I am here. Here is the issue: I want to write a function that accepts 3 arguments: date1, date2 and a dataframe, say 'df'. Within the function, I want to populate a temp dataframe which essentially contains the output of the query "select * from df where DATE between date1

I am currently puzzled by a seach path behavior. I have a library of a dozen routines getlabs(), getssn(), getecg(), ... that interface to local repositories and pull back patient information. All have a the first 6 arguments in common, and immediately call a second routine to do initial processing of these 6. The functions "joe" and "fred" below capture the relevant

I know that I can use as.yearmon in the package "zoo" to find the year and the month of a date. I can use as. yearqtr to find the year and the quarter. But how can one find just the year of a date? Thanks a lot! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah Consulting www.ninah.com

Dear R helpers. I am new to plotting time data using R. wonder how to convert character time info into date in R. I searched over the web but did not find answer. the input character string is something like 03_1993 or 03-1993, so the precision is at month level. I tried the following but failed. #R code below. strptime(c("03_1993"),"%m_%Y")

Hi all, I'm having a little bit of trouble with some date conversions and am hoping someone can help me out. Thanks in advance. OK, I have two sources of data that provide date info in a csv file differently. I've attached a small zipped file with two text files that illustrate both. (Is it ok to send attachments to this list? Not sure. It's very small.) I need to be able to

Dear R Help, I am trying to get fields showing the last day of each month for a monthly closing project.

Hello, I want to change the day of the month in a date object. What I am doing at the moment is: x=as.POSIXlt(x) x$mday=13 x=as.Date(x) Does anybody know if there is a more "natural" (eficient) way to do this Thank you Felipe Parra [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I have been struggling with this for some time now, and for the last hour I have been struggling to make a working example for the list. I hope someone out there have some experience with plotting longitudinal data that they will share. My data is some patient data with three different time stamps. First the patients are identified at different times (first time stamp). Second, they

Hello! I'd like to take Dates and extract from them months and years - but so that it sorts correctly. For example: x1<-seq(as.Date("2009-01-01"), length = 14, by = "month") (x1) order(x1) # produces correct order based on full dates # Of course, I could do "format" - but this way I am losing the "Date" quality of the data:

Hello everybody, I have two datasets, observed and predicted. Since my observed dataset is not in regular intervals, I need to filter my predicted dataset based on the measurement date of my observed data. Here, is an example similar to what I have library(chron);library(zoo) DATE<- seq(as.Date("2009-01-01"), as.Date("2009-05-01"), by = 1) mydat<- rnorm(length(DATE),

Hello, I am looking for a way to subset a data frame by choosing the top ten maximum values from that dataframe. As well this occurs within some factor levels. ## I've used plyr here but I'm not married to this approach require(plyr) ## I've created a data.frame with two groups and then a id variable (y) df <- data.frame(x=rnorm(400, mean=20), y=1:400,

Hello, I am having trouble figuring out how to convert a Day of Year integer back into a Date format. For example I have the following: date <- c('2008-01-01','2008-01-02','2008-01-03','2008-01-04','2008-01-05','2008-01-06','2008-01-07',
