Hello, I'm very interested in using financial time series data, but I'm a beginner of R programming. I'd like to fully understand internal logics on several time-series related packages such as quantmod, xts, zoo, chron, etc. So, I read some books, 'R Cookbook' and 'Art of R Programming' and another simple tutorials. But I still can't understand grammars of the

Hello, How can I convert Close colume of the below xts time series data into a list of Close values ? I'd like to plot Close values as a list. > head(zc) Close (10/15/12 09:00:00) 252.40 (10/15/12 09:01:00) 253.10 (10/15/12 09:02:00) 253.15 (10/15/12 09:03:00) 253.30 (10/15/12 09:04:00) 253.25 (10/15/12 09:05:00) 253.45 I tried the below command to plot it.

Dear help list, I have a timestamp in as a chron object: > (x <- chron(dates = c("12/02/11", "22/11/11"), + times = c("07:30:00", "04:00:00"), + format = c(dates = "d/m/y", times = "h:m:s"))) [1] (12/02/11 07:30:00) (22/11/11 04:00:00) Now I want to shift the timestamp by 06:30 (hh:mm) backwards, to get

R 2.12.2 on Scientific Linux 6.4 #works chron(times.="15:00:00", format=c(times="h:m:s")) #doesn't work chron(times.="15:00", format=c(times="h:m")) From chron Manual: The times format can be any permutation of "h", "m", and "s" separated by any one non-special character. The default is "h:m:s". what am I

R offers a bewildering array of options when it comes to representing dates and times (e.g, as.Date, chron, strptime, zoo, etc). Can anybody recommend a document that compares the relative merit of each method? I'm not looking for help with any one method, but rather a guide that describes which method is best for a particular data analysis/plotting goal. Thanks, Jake [[alternative

How can I extract only the time component from an POSIXlt object? For example if I try the following it still returns both the date and time... >as.POSIXlt(tr.date[1]) [1] "2010-10-18 21:46:53" >as.POSIXlt(tr.date[1],"%H:%M:%S") [1] "2010-10-18 21:46:53" round and trunc don't help... is there an "as.Time" equivalent to as.Date ? Thanks,

Hello All: I am trying to generate a sequence of dates using library(chron). Using the following code, I got most of what I want, dts <- seq.dates("01/02/1998", "01/10/2001", by="day") dts <- dts[!is.weekend(dts)] a sequence of weekdays only (no weekend dates), with first observation appearing as 01/02/98 and the last 01/10/01. But I would

Hello, I'd like to convert the below time-series data with fft or wavelet related function and plot it. Could you let me know 1. How to convert xts data frame format to list format ? 2. How to plot fft or wavelet diagram ? Here is the data : &gt; class(zc) [1] "xts" "zoo" &gt; str(zc) An ‘xts’ object from (10/15/12 09:00:00) to (10/15/12 15:15:00)

Running R 2.13.1 on Windows XP. I would like to get week of the year (1-52) for each date. library(chron) dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92","02/28/92", "02/01/92")) dts dts.chron <- as.chron(dts) dts.chron class(dts.chron) # all of these component extractions work: months(dts.chron) weekdays(dts.chron) years(dts.chron)

I can't get the scales parameter in xyplot of lattice to work as I expected. I'm using R-2.1.0 and lattice 0.11-8. There should be year labels from 1992 to 2004 for the x axis in the plot below, but instead only a few of them appear, and in the wrong spots, as if the coordinate system has changed after finishing with the panel function. library(chron) library(lattice) # vertical grid

Hi list, I have some questions regarding 1) conversion of date + time characters to chron 2) formatting chron object printing Regarding (1), Gabor's Rnews 2004 4/1 article has been indispensible, but I often work with files where dates and times are contained in a single field. In this case, I would like to control input/output of chron objects when each observation of date and time is

Hello dear useRs and wizaRds, I encountered the following problem using the hist() method for the 'times' classes from package 'chron'. You should be able to recreate it using the code: library(chron) # pasted from chron help file (?chron) dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", "02/28/92", "02/01/92")) class(dts)

R 0.90.1 chron 2.2-2 MySQL 3.22.30 Attempts to create a chron object fail when using date and time data from a mysql database. It appears that chron does not like 4 digit years. Is this the problem? my data look like: > c.time[1:10,] Date Time 1 2000-02-14 10:15:02 2 2000-02-14 10:17:03 3 2000-02-14 10:18:03 4 2000-02-14 10:19:03 5 2000-02-14 10:20:04 6 2000-02-14

I have two local variables: startTime and expectedStartTime. Both are chron related objects. When I look at the class for the objects I can see they are of class "times". When I print them to the console, they both read: "09:30:00" When I print them as.numeric(), they both read: 0.3958333 When I try and compare them: (as.numeric(startTime) == as.numeric(expectedStartTime)) it

Hi, I'm having trouble using dates (created using library(chron)) as groupings for a boxplot. I have 10 repeat measurements of a variable within an individual day. The measurements were done over 10 days. I would like to plot the measurements as a box and wisker plot (using boxplot or something similar) where the days (as chron object) would be the grouping and the repeated measurements

Dear all, As a novice user of R I ran into a problem that's quite hard for me to resolve. I have a database containing data of a clinical trial in which patients are included that survived or died: x <- matrix(data=c(1:5,0, "1/1/2012 00:00:00",0,0,"1/7/2012 00:00:00"), nrow=5, ncol=2, dimnames= list(NULL,c("ID", "dateofdeath"))) My file is a .csv

Hi, One of the big decisions when writing code is how to handle dates and times. Gabor Grothendieck provided an excellent overview of the issue in his R News 4/1 (2004) article, and many users and developers are probably using it as a guide. The proposed guideline is to use the simplest class required; as Gabor put it "use Date if possible, otherwise use chron, and otherwise use

I encountered surprising (to me, at least) behavior while using 'hours()' in package 'chron.' I will be grateful if someone can point out my error or provide an explanation and intuitive solution (I suppose I could convert chron to a character vector and use substring, but I deal mostly with newbies and kludgy approaches don't inspire much confidence). I used 2.3.0 to
