similar to: creation of an high frequency series

I create a zooreg object that runs from Jan-1-2002 0:00 to Jun-1-2005 0:00... regts.start = ISOdatetime(2002, 1, 1, hour=0, min=0, sec=0, tz="") regts.end = ISOdatetime(2005, 6, 1, hour=0, min=0, sec=0, tz="") regts.zoo <- zooreg( NA, regts.start, regts.end, deltat=3600 ) Upon inspection: > regts.zoo[1:3] 2002-01-01 00:00:00 2002-01-01 01:00:00 2002-01-01 02:00:00

Dear R users, I have a quick question regarding creating an index for a zoo object. I am using R 2.12 on winxp. I have read through the R archives searching for information on dates and time series analysis and nothing seems to cover my question. I am extracting data from a time series of remote sensing data. The frequency of the data is 16 days which means I cant use ts (ts likes months single

Thanks for everyone's help with zoo -- I think I've got my data set ready. (The data consists of surface weather temperatures, from 2002 to 2005, one observation per hour. Some values are missing... i.e. NA) I have three goals: GOAL #1:Get the data in proper time series form, preserving frequency information: > w4.ts <- as.ts( w3.zoo, frequency=(1/3600) ) I hope that 1/3600

Hello, I'm trying to develop a box plot of time series data to look at the range in the data values over the entire period of record. My data initially starts out as a list of hourly data, and then I've been using this code to make this data into the final ts array. # Read in the station list stn.list <- read.csv("/home/kbennett/fews/stnlist3", as.is=T, header=F) # Read in

Hello, I at first thought this was a system or locale issue, but since it occurs on both Windows and Linux and only for 2004 (AFAIK) I report it. I have a problem with as.POSIXct for the hour between "2004-10-03 02:00:00 GMT" and "2004-10-03 02:59:59 GMT". In short, the 2 AM (GMT) hour in 2004 (but not in other years) is interpreted as 1 AM by strptime: (I use ISOdatetime

Hi ... I wonder if anyone can provide some insight into why the first three examples using the sunriset function (appended below, with results) give the correct answer, but the fourth generates and error. The first two use ISOdatetime with and without a time zone attribute, and the sunriset function returns the correct sunset time. The third and fourth adds 10 seconds to the ISOdatetime

#QUESTION# Is there a way to calculate the offset between timezones, e.g. from "AST" to "GMT"? #DETAILS# I am working with data files that use local time, and that indicate the timezone by e.g. "AST" (Atlantic Standard Time, my local time) in a header. I was guessing that > ISOdatetime(2008,1,1,1,0,0,tz="GMT") - >

Dear list, I need to transform the DateTime of my GPS data from: "666.1751" into "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" I have the following code: d$Date <- ISOdatetime(2009, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, tz = "GMT")+d$Date*(24*3600) This gives me: 2010-10-29 04:12:09, which is wrong. It should be 2010-10-29 06:12:09 Another example: 418.3219 corresponds to: 2010-02-23 07:43:30, but it

Hi All, I am watching a strange behaviour of ISOdatetime. In my work computer, I get NA when I try to do > ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,2,0,0) [1] NA But on other dates and/or times (hour) works OK > ISOdatetime(1995,03,25,2,0,0) [1] "1995-03-25 02:00:00 GMT" In my home computer, I do not have this problem. I am running the same version of R (2.8.1 patched) on both machines, the

Hi all, I am using ISOdatetime, and I just found out that when I do ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,2,10,0) (or any other value under minutes or seconds) I get NA This does not happen with the same time in other dates, nor with different hours in the same date. Any hint why this happens? Using R 2.8.1 under ESS/GnuEmacs under Windows XP Pedro -- View this message in context:

Dear all, I am using the ISOdatetime function like this: test.info$TradeTime = with(test.info, mapply(FUN = ISOdatetime, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, 60, "EST")) Where Year, Month etc are all numeric. I think ISOdatetime should return a POSIXct object. However, the result I obtained from the line above is all numeric. Could you please advise? I wish to get POSIXct. Thank you

The following three calls all produce the same result (my machine is in EST): > as.POSIXct(0, tz="", origin=ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,10,0,0)) [1] "1970-01-01 10:00:00 EST" > as.POSIXct(0, tz="EST", origin=ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,10,0,0)) [1] "1970-01-01 10:00:00 EST" > as.POSIXct(0, tz="GMT", origin=ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,10,0,0)) [1]

I'm having problems entering dates and times around when daylight savings time starts. If I type (on R 1.8.1 on Gentoo Linux) > ISOdatetime(2004,4,4,0:4,0,0,"GMT") [1] "2004-04-03 19:00:00 EST" "2004-04-03 20:00:00 EST" [3] "2004-04-03 22:00:00 EST" "2004-04-03 22:00:00 EST" [5] "2004-04-03 23:00:00 EST" Giving the times

Hello, I have been trying to plot correctly a graph for 2 month now, with no success.I want to put a grid, adjusted on the X axis tickers. Here is the way I build my X-Axis and my grid: grid(11, NULL, col="grey40") axis(2) # build the tickers on the beginning of each monthticks.at <- seq(ISOdatetime(lastYear, 01, 01, hour=0, min=0, sec=0, tz="GMT"),

Hi R users, I am using xlsReadWrite to read a particular excel file. In one of the columns I have dates ( say col=5). Now date column is read by default as numeric. So I used dateTimeAs= "isodatetime". This enables reading in the date format. However in the earlier column (say col=1) I have data which however starts from row 10. So to read data from column one I use

I think the following examples illustrate the crux of the matter (version and OS info are below). The problem has to do with the transition from standard time to daylight savings time. My timezone, US/Pacific, has two parts: standard time (PST) 8 hours behind GMT and daylight savings time (PDT) 7 hours behind GMT. The transition takes place this year on 7 April at 02:00, when 02:00 is

I'm searching for an r command that will notify me if I create a time that does not exist due to Daylight Savings Time. For example, if I run the following command on a windows machine > ISOdatetime(2010,03,14,2,10,0, tz = "") # My system time is set to the United States Central Time Zone [1] NA R returns NA, which is the behavior I want. However, if I run the same command on a

Hi list, I was using Sweave and was wondering if anyone has had any luck changing the font colors of the code chunks. For instance, in my .Rnw preample I tried including: === \usepackage[usenames]{colors} \definecolor{darkred}{rgb}{0.545,0,0} \definecolor{midnightblue}{rgb}{0.098,0.098,0.439} \DefineVerbatimEnvironment{Sinput}{Verbatim}{fontshape=sl,formatcom={\color{midnightblue}}}

I think that there is a bug in the as.POSIXct function on Windows. Here is what I get on Win2000, Pentium III machine in R 1.8.1. > dd1 <- ISOdatetime(2003, 10, 26, 0, 59, 59) > dd2 <- ISOdatetime(2003, 10, 26, 1, 0, 0) > dd2 - dd1 Time difference of 1.000278 hours Now, the 26th of October was the day that change to the standard time occurred, so I suspect that this has

I’m trying to export a file from R to excel using the xlsReadWritePro function and I keep getting the error below. I get the same error when I use the oledatetime function. My current date format is mm/dd/yyyy, which is how I want it in excel. Also is there anyway to export different datasets to multiple sheets similar to the ods function in SAS? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
