I have a monthly price index series x, the related return series y = diff(log(x)) and a POSIXlt date-time variable dp. I would like to apply annual blocks to compute for example annual block maxima and mean of y. When studying the POSIX classes, in the first stage of the learning curve, I computed the maximum drawdown of x: > mdd <- maxdrawdown(x) > max.dd <- mdd$maxdrawdown > from

Hi, I have two data sources. One records time in PST time zone, the other in GMT. I want to compute the difference between the two, but don't see how. Here is an example where I compute time difference between identical times each (meant to be) relative to its time zone. > as.POSIXlt("2000-05-10 10:15:00", "PST") - as.POSIXlt("2000-05-10 10:15:00",

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

Hi all, I am testing R 4.0 and ran into an issue with timezones on Ubuntu Focal: converting a timestamp to another timezone results in NA: as.POSIXct(as.POSIXlt(Sys.time(), tz = "CET"), tz = "EST") This only happens on Ubuntu Focal, it seems to work fine on Ubuntu Bionic. I am the standard ubuntu docker image icw/ r-base from Dirk's ppa:edd/r-4.0 on both systems. Am I

Hi R users, I have a maybe small problem which I cannot solve by myself. I want to convert "chron" "dates" "times" (04/30/06 11:35:00) to a number with as.POSIXct. The Problem is that I can't choose different timezones. I always get "CEST" and not "UTC" what I need. date = as.POSIXct(y,tz="UTC") "2006-04-30 11:35:00

I have some questions and comments on timezones. Problem 1. # get current time in current time zone > (now <- Sys.time()) [1] "2003-07-29 18:23:58 Eastern Daylight Time" # convert this to GMT > (now.gmt <- as.POSIXlt(now,tz="GMT")) [1] "2003-07-29 22:23:58 GMT" # take difference > now-now.gmt Time difference of -5 hours Note that the difference

From POSIXct to numeric and back with time zone I am running regressions on data which has time series with different time resolution. Some data has hourly resolution, while most has either daily or weekly resolution. Aggregation is used to make the hourly data daily, while liner interpolation is used to find daily data from the weekly time series. This data manipulation requires some careful

Dear R list, I noticed the following 'problem' when changing the format of dates created with seq.dates() (from the Chron library) using as.POSIXct() (R 1.8.0 on OSX 10.2.8): > datesTest<-seq.dates(from="10/01/1952", length=3, by="days"); > datesTest [1] 10/01/52 10/02/52 10/03/52 # Now changing the format to show year as 1952. >

Hello, Following Dirk's post here: https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/1619 we would like to clarify if this is the right behaviour, and if so, the rationale behind it. Here's the summary (thanks to Dirk and Joshua): Sys.setenv("TZ"="America/Chicago") dates = as.Date("2016-03-02") + (0:3)*7 # four Wednesdays # [1] "2016-03-02"

Dear all, As of the current R alpha release, I'm seeing timezone-related warnings on installing any package (including the recommended ones), which I haven't seen before. For example, [~/Documents/Source/R-alpha]$ bin/R CMD INSTALL ~/git/tractor/lib/reportr * installing to library '/Users/jon/Documents/Source/R-alpha/library' * installing *source* package 'reportr' ...

The return value of Sys.time() today with a timezone of US/Eastern is unchanged between 4.0.3-patched and devel, but on devel the following test fails all.equal(x, as.POSIXlt(x)) with x = Sys.time() This means that devel does not complete make tests (failure on tests/reg-tests-2.R) It is entirely possible that it is an error on my end, I use export TZ="US/Eastern" but I have been

Hi all; I've already send a similar e-mail to the list and Prof. Brian Ripley answered me but my doubts remain unresolved. Thanks for the clarification, but perhaps I wasn't clear enough in posting my questions. I've got a postgres database which I read into R. The first column is Timestamp with timezone, and my data are already in UTC format. An 'printed' extract of R

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

The documentation for the POSIXlt class states '"POSIXlt" objects will often have an attribute "tzone", a character vector of length 3 giving the time zone name from the TZ environment variable and the names of the base time zone and the alternate (daylight-saving) time zone. Sometimes this may just be of length one, giving the time zone
