similar to: ?strptime ambiguity (PR#7907)

I have some data that includes timestamps like this: 2017-02-28T13:35:00+03:00 The documentation for strptime says that %z expects an offset like 0300. I don't see any way in the documentation to get it to accept +hh:mm with a colon separator, and everything I tried gave me NA as the answer. Section 4.2.5.1 of ISO 8601:2004(E) allows both the absence of colons in +hh[mm] (basic format) and

L.S. Since some time there is a new r-project.org site as announced here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-announce/2015/000581.html The logo has changed on the site, but I fail to find a vector graphics file. For the previous logo I used to go to https://svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/trunk/Logo/ Is there anything similar for the new logo? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Tobias --

Many thanks, Duncan. We will check the prerelease versions of R 3.2.1.

OK, so the consensus is (1) One cannot make strptime accept ISO8601-compliant zone designators (2) The lubridate package can (3) Or one can hack away with regex. Lubridate it is, then. But I do regard strptime's inability to process ISO8601-compliant zone designators as a bug. On Mon, 6 Nov 2023 at 13:18, jim holtman <jholtman at gmail.com> wrote: > try using 'lubridate'

L.S. In this bug report https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14493#c1 it is mentioned that after moving an R installation one should regenerate the Rscript executable. Is there an easy way to do so (after an R installation has been moved)? I have not found any information in the R installation and administration manual. Many thanks in advance for any pointer. Best wishes,

Dear list, Is there an exact formula / safe rule of thumb that allows one to express the value of --max-ppsize as a function of the value of getOption("expressions") ? ?options tells "If you increase it [the expressions option], you may also want to start R with a larger protection stack". Motivation is to determine stack size of a Java vm used to launch R with a given

The abline function can be used to draw the regression line when one passes the lm object as an argument. However, if it's an intercept-only model, it appears to use the intercept as the slope of the abline: mod <- lm(dist ~ 1, data = cars) plot(dist ~ speed, data = cars) abline(reg = mod) # nothing appears This behaves as documented, but might catch someone. Would it be an improvement

Dear R-help, I am working on a R package for public health surveillance where the ISO 8601 representation of dates is of importance. Especially, the ISO Week and ISO Year of a date needs to be extracted. I was quite happy to find all of this implemented in the "Date" class with appropriate calls to strptime/format (using e.g. %G and %V). However, only later I realized that this

Wherever I look up the following reference the name of the author is spelled Mauchly contrary to the naming of the R function. Mauchly, J.W., Significance test for sphericity of a normal $n$-variate distribution, Annals of mathematical statistics, 11(1940), p. 204-209. Is this a typo on the original article (which R Core has corrected) or is it a typo in the function name ? Best regards, Tobias

Hi there, Am I missing something? The "%p" format, which should match against AM/PM, seems to be broken in R 2.3.1 running on Windows XP SP2. For example, the following fails > strptime("10AM", "%I%p") [1] NA whereas the this works as you would expect, but is ambiguous > strptime("10", "%I") [1] "2006-11-30 10:00:00" Does

Dear list, I'm trying to embed OpenBUGS in an R package for use of it on 64-bit Linux. In order to get the CLI working one has to compile C code contained in $OpenBUGS/Manuals/CBugs.html (copied to say CBugs.c) using gcc -m32 -o bugs CBugs.c -ldl I put the OpenBUGS distribution in the ./inst subdirectory of the package root. Where should I now put the CBugs.c and how

Hi all, Sorry if this doesn't end up in the thread. Tobias Verbeke forwarded that e-mail to me, because he thought I would be interested in maintaining the Programming Tools CTV. I wasn't subscribed to R-devel yet, but I would indeed like to volunteer to maintain the Programming Tools CTV. It will be my first time creating a CTV, so some guidance on getting it setup will be appreciated.

Dear list, Using serialize it is possible to save the binary string representing an R object to a raw R vector. ## adapted from ?serialize x <- serialize(list(1,2,3), NULL) x I am looking for a way to capture the binary string that in normal use of graphics devices will be written to (most commonly) a file connection. jpeg(file = "test.jpg") plot(1:10) dev.off() In other

Dear list, Could someone enlighten me a bit on the exact format used for text help pages as I see them on Windows in the help/ folders of (compiled) package roots. When opening an example of these files in a text editor (?Bessel in GNU emacs), the file is displayed as follows: _^HB_^He_^Hs_^Hs_^He_^Hl_^H _^HF_^Hu_^Hn_^Hc_^Ht_^Hi_^Ho_^Hn_^Hs Bessel package:base

Dear list, I would like to study the dynamics of functions using R (instead of mathematica e.g.), i.e. the behavior of points under iteration of a function. So I tried (in vain) writing a function myfunction <- function(f,n,x){...} in order to compute f^{n}(x), f^{n}(x) being the function f composed with itself n-1 times. n is a natural number, and the argument x is the abscissa of the point I

Dear r-bugs, Whilst playing with ppoints I discovered that when one uses it directly, occasional NA's in a vector also become data fractions: ppoints(c(1,2,NA,4)) Would it be a good idea to add a warning message as in: ppoints <- function (n, a = ifelse(n <= 10, 3/8, 1/2)) { if(any(is.na(n))) warning("'n' contains NA's") if(length(n) > 1) n <-
