similar to: Month recognition issue

Dear all, I am running R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.1.1 (2005-06-20), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Under Mac os X, a french version! I am preparing a package and I got the following issue I am trying to read dates that are written in english and have them recognized by R using as.Date function. I realized strangely that when I type > month.abb [1]

When ploting a timeseries, the months are shown with abbreviation in the current language of the system. For example, x <- seq(from=as.Date("2000-04-01"), length.out=100, by=1) y <- rnorm(length(x), 5,2) plot(x, y) Show for me "avi mai jui jul" as I use R with French language localization. I see in the Windows FAQ how to completely change the language of R, but I

Hi everybody When I try example of strptime x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") z <- strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") The result is; > z [1] NA NA NA NA I have got the same result with complete form of month but not with numeric form. Any idea? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm trying to create maps of reptile abundance in different states & counties using data from Herp.net, which provides lists of specimens with the places that they were found. First I would like to parse the list by state using 2-letter abbreviations, since I'm focusing on certain regions. To do this, I've been trying to create a vector (state2) that gives all state names as

Hello, strptime is still not working correctly in my computer (Windows 98 and R Version 1.3.1) From x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") I obtain [1] "NA" "NA" "NA" "NA" while x <- c("01011960", "02011960", "3131960",

Hey, I'm doing my thesis and I need to produce a lot of plots. With 2 I have a problem that I can't get past: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4630611/question.png The left one has lines instead of dots. All I want is a basic line (it's a time series). So I used the type="l" command, but that doesn't work, and so do other commands I tried. I only get a line when I

Hello, I have the following data and I try to properly import it in R and plot the 4th column relative to time 1 2008-249 17:44:17.973 -2.27 00000000: Accepted 2 2008-249 17:44:18.014 -2.28 00000000: Accepted 3 2008-249 17:44:18.064 -2.29 00000000: Accepted 4 2008-249 17:44:18.123 -2.29 00000000: Accepted 5 2008-249 17:44:18.174 -2.29 00000000:

The last line of the example in droplevels' manual page seems to be incorrect to me. I think it should read: "table(droplevels(aq$Month))". Amazingly (I don't understand) both variants seem to produce the same result (R 3.3.3): --- > aq <- transform(airquality, Month = factor(Month, labels = month.abb[5:9])) > aq <- subset(aq, Month != "Jul") >

Dear all, I have a date related question. Suppose I have a character string "March-2009", how I can convert it to a valid date object like as.yearmon("2009-01-03") in the zoo package? Is there any possibility there? Ans secondly is there any R function which will give the names of of all months as "LETTERS" does? Thanks for your time. [[alternative HTML version

This is how I get the month names from within R: > mon <- rep(strptime("01/01/1952", format = "%d/%m/%Y"), 12) > mon$mon <- mon$mon + 0:11 > mnam <- months(mon, abbreviate = F) > mnam [1] "januar" "februar" "marts" "april" "maj" "juni" "juli" "august"

I think I'm missing something tonight in the usage of 'legend': plot(0, type="n") legend(locator(1), month.abb[1:5], pch=15, col=1:5) gives me something similar to what I want. But legend(locator(1), month.abb[1:5], fill=T, col=1:5) gives me 5 black boxes. What am I doing wrong? Thank you, > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with strptime. (R 1.9.1 on a Win2000 machine) I have a large list containing 6 columns and 161800 rows. One column contains dates that I want to convert in order to compare the different dates. Some dates work just fine while others become NA. I don't see any difference between the dates. I've attached an example from my code. Hope this explains my

Dear R users I would like to do some spreadsheet style expansion of dates. For example, I would need to obtain a vector of months. I approached in an obviously wrong way: > paste(01:12) [1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11" "12" > as.Date(paste(01:12),

Hi Simon, thank you for the concise reply. Do you mean the reported behavior of drop() is not a bug? It looks like a borderline bug to me (see below), but I'm not the judge of that. If this is the intended behavior and serves an actual purpose, then that could be explicitly documented in a \note{} on the help page. Such a note would slightly reduce the surprise of users running into this

Hello R users, I have to import a file with one column containing dates written in French short format, such as: 7-d?c-07 11-d?c-07 14-d?c-07 18-d?c-07 21-d?c-07 24-d?c-07 26-d?c-07 28-d?c-07 31-d?c-07 2-janv-08 4-janv-08 7-janv-08 9-janv-08 11-janv-08 14-janv-08 16-janv-08 18-janv-08 There are other columns for other (numeric) variables in the

I have noticed a significant performance degradation using merge in 2.9.1 relative to 2.8.1. Here is what I observed: N <- 100000 X <- data.frame(group=rep(12:1, each=N), mon=rep(rev(month.abb), each=N)) X$mon <- as.character(X$mon) Y <- data.frame(mon=month.abb, letter=letters[1:12]) Y$mon <- as.character(Y$mon) Z <- cbind(Y, group=1:12) system.time(Out

Hello, I have a issue here! I need to find the offset or shift between two data sets. Each data set does not start nor end at the same time and dont even have the same sampling interval (which by the way isn't constant in any of the data set). It must be known that the data expressed in both the data set are comming from the same sensor so they should be the same! What I am looking for

Hi all, I am just curious how to sort the groups in a categorical box plot chart bwplot here is the example: d<-data.frame(sample(rep(month.abb,20), 100), runif(100,1,10)); colnames(d) <- c("Month", "Value"); bwplot(d$Month ~ d$Value); as you can see Months are not sorted alphabetically. Does anybody know ho to sort those on the chart level? Thank you Jan
