Hello, I was hoping for advice regarding resolving the above error. I have a csv file that contains the following variable: $ Order.Made.Date : Factor w/ 299 levels "1-Apr-08","1-Aug-05",..: 278 285 91 286 159 132 108 261 282 147 ... I want to calculate a variable named F.length, which is today's date minus the values contained in the variable:

Full_Name: Arto Luoma Version: 1.3.1 OS: Windows 98 Submission from: (NULL) (153.1.53.119) Hi! The function get.hist.quote in the package tseries (Version 0.7-6) does not work in my computer. I found that it uses the function strptime which did not "understand" English month names in my Finnish locale (see bug report 811). I changed the regional settings to be English (UK) and

Dear All, I installed R 2.7.0 and tried to call a dataset i had ealier own called on R2.6.2 but i keep on getting an error: use("maltreat.dta") Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format Tried doing the same with R2.7.1 but i get the same error.

Hi All, I have an script in R which accepts user inputs for certain parameters, particularly dates, which the user inputs as character strings. eg: > date1 <- "2009-01-21" The script later parses the input via the as.Date function: > as.Date(date1) However, as.Date encounters an error when the string does not represent an actual date. eg: > date1 <-

Dear all, I import my data from a csv-file containing one row with date-entries. How can I tell R to treat this data as dates? I've tried to bring it in character-format (as.charachter()) followed by as.POSIXlt() but I get an error message, that the character string is not in a standard unambiguous format, although the date is of format yyyy-mm-dd (what is standard format according to R

Dear R users, I have a column with dates (character) in a data frame: 12-Jan-01 11-Jan-01 10-Jan-01 9-Jan-01 8-Jan-01 5-Jan-01 and I need to convert them to (Julian) dates so that I can sort the whole data frame by date. I thought it would be very simple, but after checking the documentation and the list I still don't have something that works. 1. as.Date returns the error below. What am I

I'm trying to get R 1.9.0 running on AIX 5.1 with the standard AIX compilers (xlc, xlf) and it is failing 2 of the tests, test-Reg in reg-tests-1.R like this: bash-2.05b$ tail -30 reg-tests-1.Rout.fail [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 3 [2,] 2 4 [3,] 1 3 [4,] 2 4 > stopifnot(typeof(res) == "list") > ## were not implemented in 1.8.1 > > > ## Date objects with

Dear all, I successfully set up a local MySQL-database. Connecting via RODBC is not problem, the same in fetching 3 of 4 tables. But trying to connect to table 4 fails. > author<-sqlFetch(test,"author") Error in fromchar(unclass(x)) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format In principle I understand that error message, but I don't know any solution.

In the base package, as.POSIXct() is an S3 generic function, but as.POSIXlt() is not. As shown below, the current implementation is already crying out to be refactored into a generic function with methods for various classes. It calls "inherits" five times. Not only is this bad style, it also disallows me or anyone else from making as.POSIXlt() work with other kinds of time-ish

I'm installing R on an Irix 6.5 machine and R fails to understand dates prior to 1 Jan 1970. This first cropped up early in the test scripts (Examples/base-Ex.R): > > seq(as.Date("1910/1/1"), as.Date("1999/1/1"), "years") > Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format The root there is the

Hello all, I recently moved from the US to Africa & on changing my time zone in the OSX system preferences from EST to GMT+3 ( East Africa) on attempting to use read.dta using the foreign package began getting an error of: "Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format" This error goes away & the data is correctly read in when

Dear list, I know this is really basic question but I just couldn't get anything to work. (I did a R site search with keywords "zoo" and "data frame" but the server timed out on me.) I have a time series which has the following (typical) format, DATE Open High Low Close Volume 01-JAN-2006 5.25 5.25

Hi Folks! I'm struggling with dates - but enough about my personal life..... I have two daily time series files. In one (x) the date format is Y/m/d and the other (y) is d/m/y. I used read.zoo on both and they read into R with no problem. Then I use: weekdays(as.Date(x$DATE)) and get what I expect - all the days of the week in my data set. When I use:

Hi ALL: I am trying to use get.help.quote from library(tseries). I tried to run the example from help(get.hist.quote) but R complained. Here is the command I used and the response: ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "1998-01-01") trying URL

Hi, i really positive surprised when i found the "get.hist.quote" but didn't now why i get with the examples from Online-Help errorMessages. Perhaps their is a problem with POSIX and my OS WIN2000/R1.5.1 ? Thanks for advance & regards,Christian $ ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "1998-01-01") trying URL `

I wrote the date package long ago, and it has been useful. In my current task of reunifying the R (Tom Lumley) and Splus (me) code trees for survival, I'm removing the explicit dependence on 'date' objects from the expected survival routines so that they better integrate. Comparison of 'date' to 'Date' has raised a couple of questions. Clearly Date is more

Hi, how it's possible to extract the year and the number of days from Julian date. i'm little confused about the last two functions and ?years . EDATE comes from sqlQuery with as.is=T EDATE <- as.POSIXlt(datvears$ENROLLDAY) Many thanks, Christian > EDATE[1:5] [1] "2000-06-30 11:25:01" "2000-06-30 11:39:55" "2000-06-30 12:11:11" [4]

Dear All: I am having some trouble with date variables when NAs are present. The following example illustrates (see below for output of version): > library(chron) > minor.test <- c( "NA", "NA", "1988-02-08", + "1988-02-08", "NA", "1987-11-23", "1988-09-03", "1991-10-15", +
