Dear list, When using as.POSIXlt with times measured down to microseconds the default format.POSIXlt seems to cause some possibly undesirable behaviour: According to the code in format.POSIXlt the maximum accuracy of printing fractional seconds is 1 microsecond, but if I do; options( digits.secs = 6 ) as.POSIXlt( 1.000002 , tz="", origin="1970-01-01") as.POSIXlt( 1.999998 ,

A user here noticed the following difference between Linux and Windows versions of R-2.15.3 (and R-3.0.0, I think) when using times within a second of the end of 1969: f <- function (sec = -1) { x1 <- as.POSIXct(c(2 * sec, sec, 0), origin = "1970-01-01", tz = "UTC") x2 <- as.POSIXlt(x1) x3 <- as.POSIXct(x2, origin = "1970-01-01", tz =

Dear List, I have a Date vector, and converting to character causes R&nbsp;2.11 to&nbsp;crash on one machine running Win2008 x64 and another running Win7 x64. The code runs fine on R 2.10. For example, x &lt;-&nbsp;as.Date(rep(1:15000, 10), '1970-01-01') y &lt;- as.character(x) At this point, Rgui crashes. I get this using both the 32 and 64 bit 2.11.0 R

To the R development team; I found an unusual behavior in zoo when I upgraded to R 2.11.0 - it abruptly terminated when I performed certain operations on large zoo objects. I sent an e-mail to Achim Zeileis and he said this was a potential bug that I should report to the R development team. The details are given below in the thread below. Basically, I can crash R with this code: library(zoo)

Hi, when running the following on different instances of R (Linux and Windows), I get different results. The one for Linux seems to be the intended / documented one. When using numeric indices rather than characters, Windows seemed to behave as expected. -----------On Windows-------------- x = matrix(FALSE, nrow=3, ncol=3) colnames(x) = LETTERS[1:3] rownames(x) = letters[1:3] x # A

I've stumbled across an issue with aggregate.ts that either is due to a misuse of %/% or something deeper relating to numerical precision on Windows. The test code is x <- rep(6:10, 1:5) as.vector(aggregate(as.ts(x), FUN = mean, ndeltat = 5)) On Linux and Mac I get the correct answer > x <- rep(6:10, 1:5) > as.vector(aggregate(as.ts(x), FUN = mean, ndeltat = 5) [1] 7.2 8.8

Hi, I am having a trouble parsing dates using strptime() that I get in the format of year and week number. The data looks like this "201127" which means year 2011 and week 27. I would like to graph this using ggplot but then I get a gap between 201054 and 201101 so I thought I would just easily convert it. I tried to use strptime and as.Date and the format string of %Y%W but it seems

Hello, I have experienced the following problem after installing rJava (it being a prerequisite for another package in which I am relly interested).

Dear R users, I'm a bit perplexed with the effect sort has here, as it is different on Windows vs. linux. It makes my factor levels and subsequent plots different on the two systems.

Hello all, I am manipulating a large database with 70,000 records. "strptime" generates a date variable but R treats some of the values as NA. I attach a simple example below.

I am trying to use a new (to me) package (samr) and even when I try to run a very simple example, I get this "cannot open the connection" error. The reason I am writing to r-help rather than to the authors of samr is I think this may be a more general R problem rather than a samr-specific problem. Perhaps something with my installation and write access to some particular place ? I am

I am working with the mcnemar.test function and the help does not show a maintainer/author, but it is part of the stats package. My issue is that I want to use the test on 2 variables with possible values of 0:3, in one of the tests one of the variables does not have any 3's, so to make sure that the matrix is square I do: > x <- factor(x, levels=0:3) > y <- factor(y, levels=0:3)
