Dates in R
Hello all, Can somebody point me to references or provide some code on dealing with this date issue. Basically, I have two vectors of values that represent dates. I want to convert these values into a date format and subtract the differences to show elapsed time in days. More specifically, here is the example: Date1 Date2 032398 061585 032398 061585 111694 101994 111694

Query regarding date as argument in functions - and about sqldf
Hi, I have a query about sqldf, and dates in general. I couldnt find much on the net or on the forums, hence I am here. Here is the issue: I want to write a function that accepts 3 arguments: date1, date2 and a dataframe, say 'df'. Within the function, I want to populate a temp dataframe which essentially contains the output of the query "select * from df where DATE between date1

all.equal doesn't work for POSIXlt objects
Hi all, following sample code illustrates the problem : Date1 <- Date2 <- as.POSIXlt(seq.Date(as.Date("2010-04-01"),as.Date("2011-04-01"),by='day')) identical(Date1,Date2) all.equal(Date1,Date2) identical() gives the correct answer. As there is no all.equal method for POSIXlt objects, all.equal.list is used instead. Subsetting using [[]] doesn't work

Function for computing the difference between 2 dates in months
Folks: With the help of David L. Reiner, I've developed a function that computes the number of months between 2 dates, x and y. num.months <- function ( x , y ) { x <- as.Date( x ) y <- as.Date( y ) seeq <- seq(from=x , to=y , by="months") ans <- length( seeq ) - 1 if ( max( seeq) > y ) ans <- ans -1 ans } To ease your reading this function, I've

2 simple questions
Please excuse what I'm sure are very easy questions but I'm relatively new to the R environment. How can I view a range of list elements, but not all. e.g., I had a matrix of patients and then split them out by patient id. I know I can do patlist[[1]] to see the first one, but how can I view, say, the first ten patients? My other question is how to count how many patients have a

Joining Dataframes
I am attempting to join several dataframes that summarize sampling effort for different samples into one large data.frame/table. I have looked at the merge command, but have not been clever enough to figure out how to get it to do what I want. A simplified example of what I am trying to do: The dataframes I have look like this (they were generated using the table command) species1.effort
