similar to: (PR#8654) failure to read the help carefully!

Full_Name: Aziz Chaouch Version: 2.2.1 OS: XP/2000 Submission from: (NULL) (132.156.89.240) Hi, I'm not sure this is a "bug" but here is the problem: I'm using the function as.POSIXlt to convert character strings into time objects. I'm using date format as "YYYY/M/D HH:MM" such as as.POSIXlt("1999/6/7 13:30"). Most of the time, this works fine. However

Thanks Dimitris!!! That's much clearer now. Still have a lot of work to do this weekend to understand every bit but your code will prove very useful.

On the documentation page for DateTimeClasses, in the Examples section, there are the following two lines: format(.leap.seconds) # the leap seconds in your time zone print(.leap.seconds, tz = "PST8PDT") # and in Seattle's The second line (using print) seems to ignore the tz argument, and prints the dates in my time zone, while: format(.leap.seconds, tz =

This is not a bug in R: the documentation does say the result is OS-specific. `GMT' is a not a proper timezone on Windows, so NA is a valid answer. (Windows seems to use GMT to refer to the timezone of the UK, e.g. > Sys.time() [1] "2005-07-11 07:49:56 GMT Daylight Time" > Sys.timezone() [1] "GMT Daylight Time" although I am in British Summer Time not GMT.)

Neither of these have reached me on R-devel (and only PR#8103 is on the archive), and they seem to be the same error although neither mentions the other. That's 'odd', to quote one of them. "EDT" is not a valid POSIX timezone (but, say, EST5EDT is). R's docs are quite clear that what happens with invalid inputs is system-specific. (Windows seems often to run home

Tracking down this bug was joint work with Jermoe Asselin (jerome at hivnet.ubc.ca) and Patrick Connolly (p.connolly at hortresearch.co.nz). We collectively were able to determine that this is a problem in both Windows 2000 and in Linux and by testing it in our three time zones that it seems to be daylight savings time related. Conversion of POSIXlt datetimes to POSIXct appears to have problems.

Dear all, I'm trying to fit a variogram model using variofit function in geoR package. There is an option to fix the nugget but is there anyway to force the variogram sill to equal some defined value? I'm working with standardized longitudinal data so the process variance is 1 and I'd like to force the sill of the variogram to reach this value (and prevent it from going

Dear All, I have a question concerning the computation of the value of the Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) function evaluated at a given set of parameter estimates from the Maximum likelihood (ML) value. Following the book of Fitzmaurice, Laird and Ware (2004) "Applied Longitudinal Analysis" pp101, the REML likelihood can be computed by multiplying the ML likleihood by the square

I have asked this question before, and received some suggestions for work-arounds that get the job done--and they are much appreciated. But I would still like to find out if I'm missing something, and whether there is a direct way using POSIXt functions (as.POSIXct, as.POSIXlt, strptime, in particular). I have environmental data collected once per minute. Here is a subset of 3 input

Hi, I'm dealing with wind data and I'd like to model their distribution in order to simulate data to fill-in missing values. Wind direction are typically following a vonmises distribution and wind speeds follow a weibull distribution. I'd like to build a joint distribution of directions and speeds as a VonMises-Weibull bivariate distribution. First is this a stupid question? I'm

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",

Reason for that is the different way values are stored (hours, minutes, seconds as opposed to minutes

Hi, You don't give the time zone but this is probably due to the clock jumping by one hour when switching to summer time. In UK this happens at 1am and on that day there is no such thing as 01:05, etc., see eg https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/uk/london In your time zone this probably happens at 2am.
