similar to: Problems merging with POSIXct objects and all = TRUE

Although the documentation is somewhat sketchy, I() can be used to create objects of class AsIs: > I("a") [1] "a" attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "character" > I(4) [1] 4 attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "numeric" > I(4 + 0i) [1] 4+0i attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "complex" > This

In attempting to build R using rpmbuild --rebuild R-2.1.0-0.fdr.2.fc3.src.rpm on a fairly up-to-date RedHat 9 system (that is, with patches installed through May 1 2004), it failed at the make check-all step. The problem was reproducible by going into the tests directory and make test-Segfault The last lines of the saved file no-segfault.Rout.fail are > > ## c.POSIXct : > >

I am having problems using merge with all = TRUE when one of the dataframes has objects of class POSIXct. Here is an example: > version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6 system sparc, solaris2.6 status major 1 minor 3.0 year 2001

Hi, I think that there is something that I am misunderstanding in creating tables using dates that are of class POSIXct. Consider: > x <- data.frame(date = as.POSIXct(strptime(c(rep("2002-10-17", 4), rep("1999-12-08", 2)), format = "%Y-%m-%d"))) > x date 1 2002-10-17 2 2002-10-17 3 2002-10-17 4 2002-10-17 5 1999-12-08 6 1999-12-08 > table(x$date)

Hi, I often have large dataframes with many variables and many NA's, from which I would like to subset out some rows. Here is a toy example: > x <- data.frame(a = c("x", "y", "z"), b = c(1, NA, 5)) > x a b 1 x 1 2 y NA 3 z 5 I realize that, if I know the values in x$b that I want to subset, things are easy: > x[x$b %in% c(1),] a b 1 x 1

The help page for library says that: package, help: name or character string giving the name of a package. Yet, I don't seem to be able to use a string variable here. > version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6 system sparc, solaris2.6 status major 1

The help for options says: echo: logical. Only used in non-interactive mode, when it controls whether input is echoed. Command-line options `--quiet' and `--slave' set this initially to `FALSE'. I don't think that this is correct for me. Consider the following session: mica|junk> ls test.R mica|junk> cat test.R cat("Why was this command

R 2.6.1 on a Thinkpad T60 running up-to-date Gentoo: Despite the documentation, which says: 'strftime' is an alias for 'format.POSIXlt', and 'format.POSIXct' first converts to class '"POSIXlt"' by calling 'as.POSIXlt'. Note that only that conversion depends on the time zone. strftime fails on POSIXct objects: > foo <-

Hi, In 1.4.1, I was able to create extra "empty" rows in a dataframe as so: > x <- data.frame(a = letters[1:3], b = 1:3) > x a b 1 a 1 2 b 2 3 c 3 > x[4,] a b NA NA NA > rbind(x, x[4,]) a b 1 a 1 2 b 2 3 c 3 NA NA NA > R.version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6

Full_Name: Erich Neuwirth Version: 2.3.1 OS: Windows XP, Linux Submission from: (NULL) (131.130.135.167) Converting Sys.Date() to a POSIX compliant time type in different ways produces inconsistent results: > Sys.date() [1] "2006-09-01" > as.POSIXct(Sys.Date()) [1] "2006-09-01 02:00:00 CEST" > as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date()) [1] "2006-09-01" >

In my 1021-version I get: > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major 1 minor 2.1 year 2001 month 01 day 15 language R > as.POSIXct( "1970/01/01" ) [1]

In trying to use as.Date(), I've come across the conversion of POSIXlt to POSIXct when a POSIXlt variable is included in a data frame: my_POSIX <- strptime(c("11-09-2006", "11-10-2006", "11-11-2006", "11-12-2006", "11-13-2006"), "%m-%d-%Y") str(my_POSIX) my_Date <- as.Date(my_POSIX) str(my_Date) data <- format(my_Date)

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

Hey R folks, i found some strange (to me) behaviour with chron to POSIXct conversion. The two lines of code result in two different results, on ewith the correct time zone, one without: library(chron) as.POSIXct(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') as.POSIXlt(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') Only the code below would give me a POSIXct object with the correct time

Dear R users, Given this data: x <- seq(1,100,1) dx <- as.POSIXct(x*900, origin="2007-06-01 00:00:00") dfx <- data.frame(dx) Now to play around for example: subset(dfx, dx > as.POSIXct("2007-06-01 16:00:00")) Ok. Now for some reason I want to extract the datapoints between hours 10:00:00 and 14:00:00, so I thought well: subset(dfx, dx >

I am seeing some strange behavior using save on a character vector containing a slash. If this is a bug, I will happily submit it (as a single entry! ;-) ) to r-bugs.

Dear R list, I noticed the following 'problem' when changing the format of dates created with seq.dates() (from the Chron library) using as.POSIXct() (R 1.8.0 on OSX 10.2.8): > datesTest<-seq.dates(from="10/01/1952", length=3, by="days"); > datesTest [1] 10/01/52 10/02/52 10/03/52 # Now changing the format to show year as 1952. >

1) Why did you submit this *twice*, as PR#7826 and PR#7827? Please don't be so careless of the volunteers' time. 2) > print.POSIXct function (x, ...) { print(format(x, usetz = TRUE, ...), ...) invisible(x) } is definitely *not* implicated. (Use of ... in two places is correct.) 3) On FC3: > unusual_and_faults Error: protect(): protection stack overflow >

Hi. This feels like a bug to me, or at least an undocumented feature, but I thought I'd see what people here thought of it. Consider a POSIXlt object like this one: > a <- as.POSIXlt ("2011-01-23 12:45:45") > class (a) [1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" Fine. Now, if I do some arithmetic on that object, the result is converted to POSIXct. > class (a

Dear R-helpers, I have a problem converting an object made with the 'chron' function to a POSIXct object: # Make date based on DOY dat <- chron(dates=232, origin.=c(month=1, day=1, year=2008)) dat #[1] 08/20/08 # Converting to POSIXct uses current timezone (Sydney): as.POSIXct(dat) #[1] "2008-08-20 10:00:00 EST" # Setting GMT timezone has no effect? as.POSIXct(dat,
