Hi everybody When I try example of strptime x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") z <- strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") The result is; > z [1] NA NA NA NA I have got the same result with complete form of month but not with numeric form. Any idea? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm using R V 2.2.1. When I try an example from the as.Date help page, I get an error. > x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") > z <- as.Date(x, "%d%b%Y") Error in strptime(x, format) : 2 arguments passed to 'strptime' which requires 3 > Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rob

Hello, How do you change the language of the labels in a graph. In this example, I want to get French labels by changing Sys.putenv. I should get "Mai" instead of "May". Sys.putenv(LANGUAGE="fr") x <- as.Date(c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960"), "%d%b%Y") y <-1:4 plot(x,y) Regards, Pierre

Hello, strptime is still not working correctly in my computer (Windows 98 and R Version 1.3.1) From x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") I obtain [1] "NA" "NA" "NA" "NA" while x <- c("01011960", "02011960", "3131960",

Hi everyone, I have been trying to compute numbers of days between two dates as follows: > x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") > z <- format(x, "%d%b%Y") > ex <- c("1jan1961", "15jan1960", "21mar1975", "10jul1981") > ez <- format(ex, "%d%b%Y") > ez-z

Hi. I'm sure this is a complete green-horn question. I apologize. I'm trying to use as.Date *exactly* as shown on p. 194 of the manual (code fragment and error message pasted below). Is there some kind of "include" or "import" statement that I need to issue? Thank you very much for saving what remains of my hair. > x <- c("1jan1960",

Dear friends. When using in windows version the menu function to change directory, what actions are actually performed, i.e. what commands could I write to a file to make a CD ? I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere - undoubtedly an oversigth on my part. Troels Ring, M.D Department of Nephrology Aalborg, Denmark tring at mail1.stofanet.dk

Hi, The help file for strptime has the following code which doesn't work for me: ## read in date info in format `ddmmmyyyy' x <- c("1jan1960", "2jan1960", "31mar1960", "30jul1960") z <- strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") > z [1] "NA" "NA" "NA" "NA" Do these work for other people?

Full_Name: Bill Hutchison Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (69.158.121.13) example(strptime) produces the following error: Error in strptime(x, "%d%b%Y") : 2 arguments passed to 'strptime' which requires 3 This error occurs wherever strptime is used. It does not occur in 2.2.0

Dear friends. I've made a very simple procedure to make Bland-Altman plots and it works OK except for the inability to take a variate as argument in annotation. I'm sure it is a very simple error, so if you have 5 seconds please tell me. Best wishes Troels bland <- function (x) #accepts two columns { mn <- 0.5*(x[,1]+x[,2]) diff <- x[,1]-x[,2]

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem with strptime. (R 1.9.1 on a Win2000 machine) I have a large list containing 6 columns and 161800 rows. One column contains dates that I want to convert in order to compare the different dates. Some dates work just fine while others become NA. I don't see any difference between the dates. I've attached an example from my code. Hope this explains my

Dear friends. This is again a very simple question, and I hope you will accept it. I have a dataset with variables in columns all with their names. Now I want to add a column indicating simply identity of patients, numbered according to row. There are 34 rows. So I did: >ID <- c(1:34) but was not allowed to >Ptt <- cbind(patients,ID) and was informed that >Error: names attribute

Dear friends. I have trobpe with path. Below I have tried to paste a path and file name but it will not work > path <- "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME" > path [1] "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME" > path1 <- paste(path,"gfr.txt",sep="/") > path1 [1] "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME/gfr.txt" -- this is good

move or copy the directories mass, nnet and class to the library directory - then execute link.html.help() Now execute library(MASS) and data(petrol) Should work. "Troels Ring"

Thank you to Peter Dalgaard, who provided help for some of this solution. It is still not ideal since the dots which are equidistant in the x-direction ideally should respect the reciprocal scale in the y-direction. op <- par("cex"= 0.7) x<-y<-NA plot(x,y,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=1/c(2000,70), axes=F) box() axis(1)

Dear friends. In the documentation for PAR it is specified that "las" allowing turning axis labels away from default=parallel to axis is not implemented. I need to make graphs with horizontal Y axis labels - how to ? I'm using win98. Thank you in advance. Sincerely yours Troels Ring, MD Department of Nephrology Aalborg Hospital Aalborg Denmark

Dear friends. I've forgotten how to simulate data with a known correlation, e.g. only two columns. I'd be most pleased to be told.

Dear friends. I wanted to reproduce a sheet of paper useful for plotting the reciprocal of some biochemical variable (creatinine) over time (Bleyer Am J Kidney Dis 34:576-578,1999). Time on X axis with units years and months. On Y axis, 1/creatinine, but with the original creatinine value indicated - to make it easier for people to use it. When using the graph, the linear decrease in 1/crea over

Dear friends. I appreciate the help that plot.date is not yet fully developed but beautiful and efficient as is anyway. I attach again an example from a real patient and now the problem is how to represent a chemical C-reactive protein (CRP) on the plot together with concentration of vancomycin. CRP was 25-200 and vancomycin below about 20. I only could get it about right by dividing CRP by
