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" >

Running under Windows XP 64 bit, as.POSIXlt()/as.POSIXct() seem to think that US time zones (EST5EDT, MST7MDT) switched from daylight savings back to standard time on Oct 28, 2007, whereas the switch is actually on Sun Nov 04, 2007. Examples: > Sys.timezone() [1] "Mountain Daylight Time" > as.POSIXct("2007-10-30 12:38:47") [1] "2007-10-30 12:38:47 Mountain

From POSIXct to numeric and back with time zone I am running regressions on data which has time series with different time resolution. Some data has hourly resolution, while most has either daily or weekly resolution. Aggregation is used to make the hourly data daily, while liner interpolation is used to find daily data from the weekly time series. This data manipulation requires some careful

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"

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

Hi all, I am testing R 4.0 and ran into an issue with timezones on Ubuntu Focal: converting a timestamp to another timezone results in NA: as.POSIXct(as.POSIXlt(Sys.time(), tz = "CET"), tz = "EST") This only happens on Ubuntu Focal, it seems to work fine on Ubuntu Bionic. I am the standard ubuntu docker image icw/ r-base from Dirk's ppa:edd/r-4.0 on both systems. Am I

I have a data frame that contains dates, but when I use as.POSIXlt() I lose the hours on all records. I traced this down to a particuar hour which causes the issue... > as.POSIXlt('2004-10-31 02:00:00') [1] "2004-10-31" > as.POSIXlt('2004-10-31 03:00:00') [1] "2004-10-31 03:00:00" How do I tell as.POSIXlt() to ignore daylight savings and just convert to

The following code: cut(as.POSIXct("2009-11-01 04:00:00", tz="America/Los_Angeles"), "1 day") gives the error: Error in seq.int(0, to - from, by) : 'to' must be finite This is related to November 1st, 2009 being the switchover date from daylight savings time to standard time in the America/Los_Angeles time zone. In particular, in cut.POSIXt, the starting

Hello, Suppose we need a function that takes a POSIXct object and need to calculate the time difference between it and GMT time: gmtDiff <- function(time) { time.gmt <- as.POSIXct(format(time, tz="GMT")) time.plt <- as.POSIXlt(time) dlstime <- ifelse(time.plt$isdst > 0, 1, 0) timezone <- as.numeric(difftime(time, time.gmt, units="hours"))

Hi Ben Thanks for your answer I have already tried this, as well as x <- as.POSIXct(strptime("2002-02-02 02:02", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")) It works! But it does not fix it widely for all tests used during the "make check" step at compile time. Unless I patch all of them. There is something with localtime but I cannot find what. On another machine with another

Times from seq.POSIXt come out wrong in AEST timezone around Feb 29 every leap year before 1970 (on Windows XP). According to help(DateTimeClasses), this is handled by "our own C code". > x <- as.POSIXct("1968-02-27") # tz="AEST" > x.gmt <- as.POSIXct("1968-02-27", tz="GMT") > data.frame( GMT=seq(x.gmt, by="day",

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. >

Under R-2.2.1, a POSIXlt date created with "strptime" has an unknown Daylight Savings Time flag: > strptime(20051208, "%Y%m%d")$isdst [1] -1 This is true on both Linux (details below) and Windows. It did not occur under R-2.1.0. Any ideas? TIA! > Sys.getenv("TZ") TZ "" Version: platform = i686-pc-linux-gnu arch = i686 os = linux-gnu

Apologies for the intrusion. I am a lurker on list. I have been working to convert a digitized signal from a matlab file into R for analysis and other applications. R.matlab is working fine, and it is easy to convert the matlab date-time number (days since year 0) into R date-time numbers (seconds since 1970-01-01). Unfortunately, when I cast the R date-time number into POSIXct format it seems

This has to do with your own timezone. If I run that code on my computer, both formats are correct. If I do this after Sys.setenv(TZ = "UTC") Then: > cbind(format(dlt), format(dct)) [,1] [,2] [1,] "2016-12-06 21:45:41" "2016-12-06 20:45:41" [2,] "2016-12-06 21:45:42" "2016-12-06 20:45:42" The reason for that, is that

Hi all, I've been having some trouble with times in regards to daylight savings in R version 2.8.1. I have an ORACLE database that R is importing data in from, for the 2am and 2:30am time intervals for the dates that daylight savings starts the times are getting read as NA values into R. I'm also finding that if I open a R workspace from version 6.2.2,the datetimes are

Hi R users, I have a maybe small problem which I cannot solve by myself. I want to convert "chron" "dates" "times" (04/30/06 11:35:00) to a number with as.POSIXct. The Problem is that I can't choose different timezones. I always get "CEST" and not "UTC" what I need. date = as.POSIXct(y,tz="UTC") "2006-04-30 11:35:00

Dear all, As of the current R alpha release, I'm seeing timezone-related warnings on installing any package (including the recommended ones), which I haven't seen before. For example, [~/Documents/Source/R-alpha]$ bin/R CMD INSTALL ~/git/tractor/lib/reportr * installing to library '/Users/jon/Documents/Source/R-alpha/library' * installing *source* package 'reportr' ...
