similar to: as.POSIXct behaviour

Hello, Following Dirk's post here: https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/1619 we would like to clarify if this is the right behaviour, and if so, the rationale behind it. Here's the summary (thanks to Dirk and Joshua): Sys.setenv("TZ"="America/Chicago") dates = as.Date("2016-03-02") + (0:3)*7 # four Wednesdays # [1] "2016-03-02"

Have a look at the following, taken from base::rank: ... if (!is.na(na.last) && any(nas)) { yy <- integer(length(x)) # <~~~~~~~~~ storage.mode(yy) <- storage.mode(y) # <~~~~~~~~ yy <- NA NAkeep <- (na.last == "keep") if (NAkeep || na.last) { yy[!nas] <- y if (!NAkeep) yy[nas]

I have encountered the following behaviour in lattice in 2.6.1 (and 2.4.0) which differs depending upon the type you use. I believe the numeric behaviour to be correct, and the POSIXct behaviour to be in error. When the x data and x axis in a lattice graph are POSIXct, and when using scales$x$at and scales$x$labels to add custom labels: If the first visible at value is not the first

Dear all, how come the first loop in the below fails, but the second performs as expected? days <- as.Date( c("2000-01-01", "2000-01-02") ) for(day in days) { as.POSIXct(day) } for( n in 1:length(days) ) { show(as.POSIXct(days[n])) } Many thanks, Jo [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello list, here is what I stumbled upon: 1> test <- data.frame(time=as.POSIXct((1:2),origin="2000-1-1")) 1> test time 1 2000-01-01 00:00:01 2 2000-01-01 00:00:02 1> rbind(test,b=1:2) Fehler in as.POSIXct.numeric(value) : 'origin' muss angegeben werden When I try to attach an additional row to a dataframe with a row containing dates I get the

Hi , When I sort a vector of POSIXct values in R-2.3.0 and R-2.3.1, I get a vector of numeric values and this gets some of my code to crash (class object creation). Is that a R bug? In the mean time. I'll try to override the sort function for the POSIXct objects. Thanks, Patrick Gu?vel Head of quantitative research for electronic trading This message and any attachments (the

Friends I have an xts that I wish to access. Browse[2]> DATA.ba[[p]]["2012-03-20 00:59:57","bid"] bid 2012-03-20 00:59:57 1.4993 So far so good. Now putting the index into a variable: Browse[2]> Time [1] "2012-03-20 00:59:57 NZDT" Browse[2]> DATA.ba[[p]][Time, "bid"] bid Where has it gone? Looking closer....

Hi: I do not understand the returned value of NA in the following, which is a simplified version of my attempt to convert the start column of the data frame AirQual in the SwissAir package. as.POSIXct(paste('04.04.2004 0',0:3,sep=''),format='%d.%m.%Y %H') [1] "2004-04-04 00:00:00 EST" "2004-04-04 01:00:00 EST" [3] NA

Dear Tomas, thank you very much. I installed r-devel r75201 and tested. The machine with 88 cores has NUMA disabled. It therefore has 2 processor groups with 64 and 24 processors each. require(parallel) detectCores() # [1] 88 This is great! Then I went on to test with a simple 'foreach()' loop. I started with 64 processors (max limit of 1 processor group). I ran with a simple function

Dear All, what determines if a difference between POSIXct objects gets expressed in days or seconds? In the following example, it's sometimes seconds, sometimes days. as.POSIXct('2009-09-01') - as.POSIXct(NA) Time difference of NA secs c(as.POSIXct('2009-09-01'), as.POSIXct(NA)) - c(as.POSIXct('2009-09-01'), as.POSIXct('2009-08-31')) Time differences in

Hi, How do I convert a numeric value indicating the time since 1970, back into a POSIXct class object? I have tried format.POSIXct and as.POSIXct without success. For example > ccc [1] "1945-01-01 15:00:00 MDT" > ddd<- as.numeric(ccc); > ddd [1] -788842800 > format.POSIXct(ddd) Error in format.POSIXct(ddd) : wrong class > as.POSIXct(ddd) Error in

Dear list-members, I would like to calculate the difference between two points in time. To convert a 'time (GMT)'-character with the format "1/1/1999 01:01:01" into an object of class "POSIXct"', I first use the strptime() as suggested in the details help(as.POSIXct). e.g. starttime<-strptime("1/1/1999 01:01:01",format="%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S")

Hello! I am trying to compute minimal time on some data like this: mt<-tapply(mrsh$time1,list(mrsh$var1,mrsh$var2),min): a b 145 1054800600 1054789800 340 1054804500 1054794600 349 1054820400 1054792800 55 1054800600 1054789200 57 1054814100 1054791000 78 1054822200 1054790400 843

Hello folks, I found a strangeness while experimenting with POSIXct vectors and lists. It seems that coerced NA's aren't "real" NAs, at least as considered by is.na()? > date_vec = c(as.POSIXct(now()), as.POSIXct(now()+1),NA,"b") > date_vec [1] "2012-08-22 15:00:46 COT" "2012-08-22 15:00:47 COT" NA [4] NA Warning message: In

First, the reproducable example, showing how converting from character to POSIXct to character changes the milliseconds in the first time stamp though not in the second: > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.324') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.323 PDT" > as.POSIXct('2010-06-03 9:03:58.325') [1] "2010-06-03 09:03:58.325 PDT" This seems to be due to truncation of

I am finding that axis.POSIXct uses the local timezone for deciding where to put tic marks, even if the data being plotted are in another time zone. The solution is to use attr() to copy from the 'x' (provided as an argument) to the 'z' (used for the 'at' locations). I have pasted my proposed solution in section 1 below (as a diff). Then, in section 2, I'll put some

What is the recommended way to convert/coerce and integer to a POSIXct please? d <- as.POSIXct(Sys.Date()) i <- as.integer(d) as.POSIXct(i) Error in as.POSIXct.default(i) : do not know how to convert 'i' to class "POSIXlt" This appears to be the behaviour in 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 on windows XP. I have tried searching on this and found as.Date.integer in package zoo which

I am using POSIXct objects to store my date/time information. If I am plotting less that 2 days worth of data, I get the correct tick marks on the x-axis which is showing the 'day HH:MM' and these line up with the data points. If the data spans more than 2 days, the tick marks are now off. In the data below, I am creating some sample data and plotting the points. I am in the Eastern

There is something wrong, I think, with the date-time conversion from a numeric value if you use Central European Time (CET) as timezone. Examples from R: If I use the GMT time zone it is OK, I get the same time back from as.POSIXct as I entered > as.POSIXct(as.numeric(strptime("30/01/2012 13:00:00", format="%d/%m/%Y >
