I'm trying to plot a ibm stock time series. I made the download of that series, ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "2003-01-01",quote=c("CL")) And ibm is a serie wiht this characteristic: Start = 37623 End = 37960 Frequency = 1 When I try to plot it, ts.plot(ibm) In the graphic the axe time is represented by 37623 ... 37960, How can I put

I have some forms on my site that use text boxes to enter dates. They typically default to today''s date, in the format "MM/DD/YYYY" However, sometimes a user will erase the box and type in a date, but instead of typing 02/01/2006, they''ll type 2/1/06. Once the record is created in the mysql database, it reads as ''0006-02-01'' instead of

Hello, I have a dataset which has fields giving both calendar date and weekday. I know better functions are now available, but I am still using chron because of the is.holiday() function and a homemade (even Heath Robinson would be ashamed) is.daylight() function. As a check for typos in the data input, I checked that the dates matched the weekdays. I'm getting some confusing results

I have a vector of over 7,000 chron dates in the format "mm/dd/yy". I need to increment each date in the vector by a standard number of months. Lapply with seq.dates is working OK; this increments the vector x by 3 months: dates(unlist(lapply(x, function(g) seq.dates(g, by="months", length=4)[4]))) But this takes about 55 seconds to run on a Windows XP 1.8 Pentium 512 RAM PC

Dear all, In RW0901 I could > dates("01/01/2000") [1] 01/01/100 where only the printing was wrong, but the double numeric representation of the chron object was calculated correctly but now in RW0990 > dates("01/01/2000") Error in fun(yy, ...) : must be 2-digit (numeric) year specification and also the followig doesn't help > dates("01/01/2000",

Hello r-help, I'm trying to split a character vector of dates of the form "dd-mmm-yy" into component days, months and years. But > library(chron) > testdate<-as.POSIXlt(strptime("17-Sep-98","%d-%b-%y")) > testdate [1] "1998-09-17" > months(testdate) [1] "September" # which is fine, but for days and years I get >

Hi All, I am attempting to work with some data from loggers. I have read in a .csv exported from MS Access that already has my dates and times (in 24 clock format), (with StringsAsFactors=FALSE). > head(tdata) LogData date time 1 77.16 2008/04/24 02:00 2 61.78 2008/04/24 04:00 3 75.44 2008/04/24 06:00 4 89.43 2008/04/24

Running R 2.13.1 on Windows XP.

Full_Name: Rick Bilonick Version: 1.6.0 OS: Linux (RH 7.1) Submission from: (NULL) (12.4.226.1) Hi. I'm using Red Hat 7.1 Linux (Intel 586). I installed the 1.6.0 rpm. No problems were reported. When I tried to load the chron library: Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/usr/lib/R/library/chron/libs/chron.so":

Hi list, I have some questions regarding 1) conversion of date + time characters to chron 2) formatting chron object printing Regarding (1), Gabor's Rnews 2004 4/1 article has been indispensible, but I often work with files where dates and times are contained in a single field. In this case, I would like to control input/output of chron objects when each observation of date and time is

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

I can't get the scales parameter in xyplot of lattice to work as I expected. I'm using R-2.1.0 and lattice 0.11-8. There should be year labels from 1992 to 2004 for the x axis in the plot below, but instead only a few of them appear, and in the wrong spots, as if the coordinate system has changed after finishing with the panel function. library(chron) library(lattice) # vertical grid

I was just looking for an easy way to convert between COM datetime and chron datetime (both ways.) I found examples on the list, but they involved origin. Does anyone have functions for converting COM datetime <-> chron datetimethat work "safely"? David L.

I have two local variables: startTime and expectedStartTime. Both are chron related objects. When I look at the class for the objects I can see they are of class "times". When I print them to the console, they both read: "09:30:00" When I print them as.numeric(), they both read: 0.3958333 When I try and compare them: (as.numeric(startTime) == as.numeric(expectedStartTime)) it

Hello, I have questions while reviewing "chron" package(e.g.,chron.R). 1. What is the differences between 3 kinds of function definition ? 1) "name" &lt;- function(... 2) 'name' &lt;- function(... 3) name &lt;- function(... Do you know Why author used various kinds of definitions ? Is there no functional differences between them ? 2. I

Hello there, Using R 2.4.0 on Solaris (Unix): I am trying to control the X axis range on a simple time of day plot. I made a test program (below) that gets file time stamp information from the files in the directory where R starts. The goal of the test program is to plot the time of day of file creation on an x axis that spans a user-specified range (like 12:00:00 to 15:00:00). If I allow

Hi, One of the big decisions when writing code is how to handle dates and times. Gabor Grothendieck provided an excellent overview of the issue in his R News 4/1 (2004) article, and many users and developers are probably using it as a guide. The proposed guideline is to use the simplest class required; as Gabor put it "use Date if possible, otherwise use chron, and otherwise use

I have date and time data which looks like this: [,1] [,2] [1,] "7/1/08" "9:19" [2,] "7/1/08" "9:58" [3,] "7/7/08" "15:47" [4,] "7/8/08" "10:03" [5,] "7/8/08" "10:32" [6,] "7/8/08" "15:22" [7,] "7/8/08" "15:27" [8,] "7/8/08"

I encountered surprising (to me, at least) behavior while using 'hours()' in package 'chron.' I will be grateful if someone can point out my error or provide an explanation and intuitive solution (I suppose I could convert chron to a character vector and use substring, but I deal mostly with newbies and kludgy approaches don't inspire much confidence). I used 2.3.0 to

R 0.90.1 chron 2.2-2 MySQL 3.22.30 Attempts to create a chron object fail when using date and time data from a mysql database. It appears that chron does not like 4 digit years.
