similar to: value of strptime in R 1.8.0

Dear R-people! I am using R 1.8.0, under Windows XP. While using ISOdate() and strptime(), I noticed the following behaviour when "wrong" arguments (e.g., months>12) are given to these functions: > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=20) #ok [1] "2003-02-20 13:00:00 Westeurop?ische Normalzeit" > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=30) #wrong day, but returns a value [1]

Dear R-users! I am using R 1.7.0, under Windows XP. Having some hospital discharge data (admission date and discharge date for each patient), I want to get the number of patients in the hospital on a given date. My data look like (simple example): > x <- data.frame(patid=c("pat1", "pat2"), adm.date = c("15.03.2002", "16.03.2002"),

Thanks for this clarification. I have learned in the meantime that it is necessary to be very careful when using all these POSIX things. As another example, here is something that made me scratch my head just yesterday: When I create a sequence of days that happens to start before and ends in daylight savings time, I seem to lose a day: > seq(from = strptime("20030329",

Dear r-helpers! I have trouble reading data from an Oracle data base using RODBC Version 1.0-3, R Version 1.7.1, Windows XP, Oracle8 ODBC Driver Version 8.1.6.4.0: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnect(dsn="PAV32", case="oracle", believeNRows=FALSE) > # ok, this was succesful > x <- sqlTables(channel) > x[37, ] TABLE_CAT TABLE_SCHEM TABLE_NAME

Dear R friends, I have a data frame, I need to get a time interval between the two columns. The times are recorded in 24 hour clock. My data frame is called version.one. my commands are: t.s.one<-paste(version.one[,9]) t.s.two<-paste(version.one[,61]) x<-strptime(t.s.one,format="%H:%M") x y<-strptime(t.s.two ,format="%H:%M") y z<-difftime(y,x, units =

Dear R-users! I would like to search for "association rules" (and compute support and confidence, for example) in a data set, and wonder if this can be done with R (version 1.5.0 for Windows)? Particulary, I wonder if a) anyone has done something like that with R or b)maybe someone has written an R-interface to some existing algorithm/software (e.g. to something like the

Dear R users! I am using R Version 1.7.1, Windows XP, package "foreign" (Version: 0.6-1), SPSS 11.5.1. There is one thing I noticed with "read.spss", and I'd like to ask if this is considered to be a feature, or possibly a bug: When reading character columns, character strings seem to get filled with blanks at the end. Simple example: In SPSS, create a file with one

Dear R community, I am using function 'within' in R.2.9.1 to add variables to an existing data.frame. This works wonderful, except for one minor point: The new variables are added to the data in reverse order. For example: x <- data.frame(a = 1:3, b = 4:6) y <- within(x, { c = a^2 d = b^2 e = c+d } ) gives a b e d c 1 1 4 17 16 1 2 2 5 29 25 4 3 3 6 45 36 9

Hello, I am working with R version 2.10.1 under windows. In a text file, I need to replace all characters at certain column positions with blanks. For example, say the file contains two lines and looks like this: ab34cd78e fg3 hi78j I'd like to replace everything at positions 3-4 and 7-8 with blanks, so the output should be: ab cd e fg hi j [I'm not sure if this is really an R

Hi All In trying to correlate some tide gauge data I need to deal with varying timezones. From the documentation on strptime, it seemed that the tz variable might have some effect on the conversion, but I'm not seeing an effect. > strptime("20061201 1:02 PST",format="%Y%m%d %H:%M",tz="PST")+0 [1] "2006-12-01 01:02:00 EST" >

I'm trying to proess date/time fields from files that were given to me to analyze. Any clues what I'm doing wrong with strptime? This seems to fail the same way under Linux or Windows. For ?strptime would it make sense to explain %OS3 somewhere besides the Examples? > # Why does %OS3 work here? > format(Sys.time(), "%H:%M:%S") [1] "16:45:19" >

Hi, I am having a trouble parsing dates using strptime() that I get in the format of year and week number. The data looks like this "201127" which means year 2011 and week 27. I would like to graph this using ggplot but then I get a gap between 201054 and 201101 so I thought I would just easily convert it. I tried to use strptime and as.Date and the format string of %Y%W but it seems

Dear R-users, I am working with R version 2.10.1. Say I have is a simple function like this: > my.fun <- function(x, mult) mult*sum(x) Now, I want to apply this function along with some other (say 'max') to a simple data.frame, like: > dat <- data.frame(x = 1:4, grp = c("a","a","b","b")) Ideally, the result would look something like

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

Converting date strings that range between Mar-14-2010 2:00 and Mar-14-2010 2:59 (inclusive) to date objects (POSIX) returns a NA entity: > strptime("3/14/2010 2:00",format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M") [1] "2010-03-14 02:00:00" This looks fine, however other functions such as plot see a NA object instead: > is.na(strptime("3/14/2010

Hi everyone, I have bunch of date and time observations in the format %Y-%m-%d %I %M %S %p. I used strptime() to read this format. But the problem is some of the times are in the format of %I %M %p, so for those times, strptime is giving me NA values. For example, strptime(paste("2009-04-08","1:49:47 PM"),format="%Y-%m-%d %I:%M:%S %p") [1] "2009-04-08

I think the following examples illustrate the crux of the matter (version and OS info are below). The problem has to do with the transition from standard time to daylight savings time. My timezone, US/Pacific, has two parts: standard time (PST) 8 hours behind GMT and daylight savings time (PDT) 7 hours behind GMT. The transition takes place this year on 7 April at 02:00, when 02:00 is
