Hi all, I have problems with years of dates using "chron" package. I don't understand why R by this istruction: > dates("01/02/29",out.format="d/m/year") [1] 02/Jan/2029 > dates("01/02/30",out.format="d/m/year") [1] 02/Jan/1930 reads "29" as 2029 and "30" as 1930. How could I change to read "00" to

Dear all, I have the following R dataframe: set.seed(11) (df <- data.frame(ID=rep(1:10,1:10),a=factor(sample(1:4,55,rep=T)) )) where ID is an identification code. I need to create a new variable "b" in which I would paste the full group of "a" variable according to ID variable. For example for ID=2 "b" should be 13, for ID=3 "b" should

Hi, I'm a bit confused how julian() works. If I understand right, it returns the number of days since the origin. I have a vector: > SLDATX[1:10] [1] "1986-01-06" "1986-01-17" "1986-02-02" "1986-02-04" [5] "1986-02-04" "1986-02-21" "1986-03-06" "1986-03-25" [9] "1986-04-06"

I am using the "chron" package. Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to convert a date object (obtained from the "dates" function) into a julian date (using the "julian" function)? Thanks, Al.

Hi all, I want to draw a line with the values of x marked in X axis. I tried with x <- c(0,6,12,18,24,30) #coordinates of points x y <- c(2,5,7,5,7,16) #coordinates of points y plot(x,type="n",xlab="Months",ylab="Y values",main="main",ylim=c(0,16),xlim=c(0,30)) lines(x,y) The graph shows by default an increment of the sequence in x axis that

Hello!! I need some help! I tried everything, but nothing worked! I have a vector c with dates in it, in the format "2004-04-01" and i need to convert it in the form "04/01/2004" or "01/04/2004" ! How can i do that?? Thanks Bye Martina --

Hello R experts I am googling and reading around, however, I can't get it working (perhaps because I do not understand much C, however, I'll give it a try). I am trying to include C++ code into an R routine, where the C++ code looks: #include <iostream> using namespace std; void foo (double* x, double* y, double* out) { out[0] = x[0] + y[0]; } Back in R, the command R CMD

I used to run the julian function from chron but this new version of R has also a julian function in the base package that doesn't do exactly what I need. Is there a way of telling R to run the function from chron and not from base? Thanks, Fernando __________________________ Fernando Colchero Doctoral Fellow Duke University Department of Ecology

Dear R-users, I have a complex line by xy-values (ordered by z). And I would like to get interpolated y-values on the positions of x = 0:600.

Dear all, I have a problem with the function Julian, may be a bug in the function ? Here is a vector of character, which represents dates (May 18 to May 20 2000): > amj <- c("2000-05-18","2000-05-18","2000-05-18","2000-05-19","2000-05-19" > ,"2000-05-19", "2000-05-19", "2000-05-20", "2000-05-20",

The interface for dates in R is a little confusing to me. I want to create a vector of Date objects from vectors of years, months, and days. One solution I found is: years <- c(1991, 1992) months <- c(1, 10) days <- c(1, 2) dates <- as.Date(ISOdate(years, months, days)) But, in this solution the ISOdate function converts the vectors into characters, which can cause serious

Hello, I am trying to use HMisc describe on a data frame. I have specified certain variables as dates using, for example: df1$aidsdate <- dates(aidsdate,format="day.mon.year", origin=c(month = 1, day = 1, year = 1960)) When I use describe on the dataframe I get this error: Error in Ops.dates(weights, x) : * not defined for chron objects Has anyone had this problem?

I built R 2.2.0 from source on my debian machine yesterday and updated all packages. My problem is that "dates" function from its, that my code heavely uses is now masked by "dates" from chron. How can I specify tehat I want to use dates from its or how can I prevent it from being masked? > library(its) Loading required package: Hmisc Hmisc library by Frank E Harrell Jr

Hello R users, I have to import a file with one column containing dates written in French short format, such as: 7-d?c-07 11-d?c-07 14-d?c-07 18-d?c-07 21-d?c-07 24-d?c-07 26-d?c-07 28-d?c-07 31-d?c-07 2-janv-08 4-janv-08 7-janv-08 9-janv-08 11-janv-08 14-janv-08 16-janv-08 18-janv-08 There are other columns for other (numeric) variables in the

I am a beginner in R with a background in SAS. Are there built-in R methods of reading dates for calculating elapsed days between two calendar dates? If so, are there any examples I can browse? Thanks in anticipation. John Byrne. Lecturer in Information Systems. Australian Catholic University.

Is there anyway to preset date formats? I have a date from a cover.dbf that is shown as this: > cover$FINALREPOR [1] "2003-06-24" The numeric value in cover$FINALREPOR is 12227. I'd rather not create another vector to hold the properly formatted date. When I put this in a WordPerfect merge, I want the date to be June 24, 2003. I could take care of the problem in a

Proper calendar dates in R are great for plotting and calculating. However for the non-wonks among us, they can be very frustrating. I have recently discussed the pains that people in my lab have had with dates in R. Especially the frustration of bringing date data into R from Excel, which we have to do a lot. Please find below a simple analgesic for R date importation that I discovered over
