similar to: How canI convert date-time to Julian date?

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

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 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

It appears that julian() is in R-base, but julian.default() is in the chron package. > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:ctest" "Autoloads" "package:base" > julian(1:3,4:6,1991:1993) Error in julian(1:3, 4:6, 1991:1993) : no applicable method for "julian" > find('julian') [1] "package:base" >

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.

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",

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

Another beginner's question.

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

Hellos, I have date/times in 64-bit Julian format, that is the number of milliseconds since 1 jan 1970 (or something like that). E.g., "1159884877406" For the life of me I can't figure out how to render these in a more readable format, e.g., "2006-10-04 23:12:93.191" (and I have tried to do my best searching the archives and help etc ...) Thank you most

Dear list, I would like to create a time series plot in which the paths of several individuals are stacked above each other, with the x-axis being the total observation period of three years ( 1.1.2004 to 31.12.2007) and the y-axis being some defined range[min,max]. My data consist of Date/Time information and the paths of 45 individual as the distance from the location of release. An example

High! How can I add variable labels (rownames for instance) to a plot created with ‚clouds’ ( clouds(dim3~dim1*dim2)) – package lattice? Thanks in advance! Martina Renninger [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, can anyone tell me how to nest two fixed factors using glmer in lme4? I have a split-plot design with two fixed factors - A (whole plot factor) and B (subplot factor), both with two levels. I want to do GLMM as I also want to include different plots as a random factor. But I am interested on the effect of A a B and their interaction on the response variable. I tried

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?

Dear all, I am trying to learn about R. As a Phd student, I would like to use R for Krippendorff s alpha and later for a series of CFA. Is there any good introduction to these kind of analyses, or could you recommend me some tutorials on youtube, for example? I am new to R, so I need something basic , starting from opening the R environment?. Thank you . Martina Hulesova Odesl?no z m?ho Windows

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
