##This is a function that I am trying to write to calculate sunrise and sunset and works "mostly", but returns nonsensical values. What am I #missing? Thanks in advance. ###remember to include maptools as dependence### library(maptools) sunrise.set <- function(lat, long, date, timezone="UTC", num.days=1){ #this needs to be long lat# lat.long <- matrix(c(long, lat),

# I am sure that I could be more efficient than this but how? Thanks in advance. #GPS in Decimal Degrees in the form longitude latitude RM215 <- matrix(c(-82.1461363, 33.5959109), nrow=1) SC <- matrix(c(-82.025888, 33.606454), nrow=1) RM202 <- matrix(c(-81.9906723, 33.5027653), nrow=1) RM198 <- matrix(c(-81.926823, 33.4634678), nrow=1) HC <- matrix(c(-81.920505, 33.46192), nrow=1)

Does anyone know if there is a sunrise sunset calculator for R? -- Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods.

I have looked at ?as.POSIXct ?POSIXct and many of the references that are on those pages. I am bewildered with timezones. Is there a way to get what would go into tz="" for making a function that uses POSIXct to be able to be used in all of the timezones in just the united states? This is for both windows and mac... this is the function that I am wanting to use it with

RM215.sp <- SpatialPoints(RM215, proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84")) d060101 <- as.POSIXct("2006-01-01", tz="EST") study_seq <- seq(from=d060101, length.out=761, by="days") up.215 <- sunriset(RM215.sp, study_seq, direction="sunrise", POSIXct.out=TRUE) down.215 <- sunriset(RM215.sp, study_seq, direction="sunset",

hi there, does anyone know how to calculate the amount of daylight on every day of the year in R? I mean the time between sunrise and sunset. thanks -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/daylight-tp4647213.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, I'm having problems working with date values in POSIXct format. Here is what I got (eg.lig attached): x <- read.table("eg.txt", sep = ',', col.names=c("ok","time","secs","lig")) # it gives time as factor z <- cbind(x,colsplit(x$time, split="\\s", names=c("date", "clock")))

Hi ... I wonder if anyone can provide some insight into why the first three examples using the sunriset function (appended below, with results) give the correct answer, but the fourth generates and error. The first two use ISOdatetime with and without a time zone attribute, and the sunriset function returns the correct sunset time. The third and fourth adds 10 seconds to the ISOdatetime

Hello all, After beating my head against the wall for a few hours, I give up. I have two problems. 1. If I use seq() to generate a POSIXct series that crosses a daylight savings to stardard time change I get two values for the first day of change. The time change is Nov 6,2011. The value for Nov 7 turns into 23:00 on Nov 6, thus two values for Nov 6. (see below) So I put a time value (noon)

Hello to all, I have two dataframes, the first with two columns sunrise and sunset (for 10 years). Each of these columns is formatted for date time (ex: 01-Jan-2010 15:37:00) In the second data frame I have GPS information and also a date time column (same format ). What I would like to do is a subset of all the rows from the second dataframe that occurred in day time only so between sunrise

Hi, I have a data.frame that contains a variable act which records the duration (in seconds) of two states (wet-dry) for several individuals (identified by Ring) over a period of time. Since I want to work with daytime (i.e. from sunrise till sunset) and night time (i.e. from sunset till next sunrise), I have to split act from time[i] till sunset and from sunset until time[i+1], and from time[k]

Dear R helpers, I have a dataframe (test1) containing the time of sunrise and sunset for each day of the year for 3 years. I have another dataframe (test2) containing measurements that are taken every 15 minutes, 24/7. I would like to extract all rows from test2 that occur between sunrise and sunset for the appropriate date. Can you suggest a good vectorized way to do this? Keep in mind

Dear List, I am trying to find each time a value changes in a dataset. The numbers are variables for day vs. night values, so what I am really getting is the daily sunrise and sunset. A simplified example is the following: x<-seq(1:100) y1<-rep(1,10) y2<-rep(2,10) y<-c(y1,y2,y1,y1,y1,y2,y1,y2,y1,y2) xy<-cbind(x,y) I would like to know each time the numbers change. Correct

I am trying to understand how the SOM algorithm works using library(class) SOM function. I have a 1000*10 matrix and I want to be able to summarize the different types of 10-element vectors. In my real world case it is likely that most of the 1000 values are of one kind the rest of other (this is an oversimplification). Say for example: InputA<-matrix(cos(1:10),nrow=900,ncol=10,byrow=TRUE)

Okay, I found the right ahsetup.exe (Active Home). It's doing the same thing for me: extracting CloseApp.exe (which is the same program I found) to the temp folder, but then shutting down with an error message about being unable to use it. As to why, the answer, IMO, is that this is a very old program (the download site says it works in Windows 3.1), and most programs that old simply

Thanks Mike. My data has longitude and latitude coords and I used distAB {clim.pact} then mst {ape} to calculate my minimum spanning tree. The nodes are telecoms sites from all over Australia. My goal is to determine the minimum cost of linking them via cabling, and I'm starting by calculating the distance "as the crow flies", but will probably eventually need to calculate the

Hey guys, I got Money Plus Deluxe Sunset working without ever seeing this thread, but these are the same to issues I had to conquer. I posted these on my AppDB test data submission as well, but thought I'd post it here for your convenience (if you're still trying to get it to work, that is). 1st, the dialog box on each page load; Solution: use winetricks ie8 instead of ie6 2nd, the app

I've gotten Microsoft Money Sunset running under wine following the instructions here... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21030 Application runs fine for the most part. But I'm having two problems. Money must use some internal web thingy (technical term) and uses it for it's pages. Every time it starts up, I need to open them. I'm thinking that

In order to make it shut down properly you may try the following. In Wine configuration , "Graphics" tab, check "Emulate a virtual desktop". Now all wine porgrams will be opened "inside" or "above" a Windows' blue desktop area. Now when you want to shutdown MS Money, use mouse right-click on the task bar -> "Close", instead of Money window

Greetings list, It seems that more and more phones these days are coming with XML mini-browsers. I'd like to have a go at developing something useful to use on them, but in all honesty, most of our customers use their phones to make and take calls and very little else. So I'm open to suggestions. What useful applications are you developing for these mini-browsers? What sort of things do
