The return value of Sys.time() today with a timezone of US/Eastern is unchanged between 4.0.3-patched and devel, but on devel the following test fails all.equal(x, as.POSIXlt(x)) with x = Sys.time() This means that devel does not complete make tests (failure on tests/reg-tests-2.R) It is entirely possible that it is an error on my end, I use export TZ="US/Eastern" but I have been

When I try to do linear interpolation between financial contracts with maturities on different dates in different months I have come across some behavior I haven't seen before. I have a data frame in R which is loaded from an access database so I can't provide a working example. It was loaded using this code: > dbPath <- "H:/pathToDB/DB.mdb" > channel <-

Yes, the potential issue I see is that make check fails when I explicitly set TZ. However, I set it to be the same as what the system reports when I login. Details: The system (RHEL) I am working on has $ strings /etc/localtime | tail -n 1 EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 $ date +%Z EDT $ echo $TZ US/Eastern On Fri, Oct 2, 2020 at 9:48 AM Sebastian Meyer <seb.meyer at fau.de> wrote: > Thank

Hi, Matplot works with x being Date class but not POSIXt. Here is the example with R version 2.5.0 Under development (unstable) (2006-12-06 r40129) Example: x <- Sys.Date() - c(1:10) y <- cbind(1:10, 10:1) class(x) ## [1] "Date" matplot(x, y) x <- strptime(as.character(x), format="%Y-%m-%d") ## [1] "POSIXt" "POSIXlt" matplot(x, y) Error in

I have a problem ordering by descending magnitude a POSIXt object. Can someone help please and let me know how to work around this. My goal is to be able to order my data by DATE and then by descending TIME. I have tried to include as much info as possible below. The problem stems from trying to read in times from a CSV file. I have converted the character time values to a POSIXt object using the

In the text file pressione2008.csv I have the following "Data","MAX","MIN","Note" "07-01-2008 08:00:00", 135, 90, "Eccessi feste, inizio dieta" "07-01-2008 18:00:00", 135, 85, "" "08-01-2008 08:00:00", 125, 75, "" which is a collection of blood pressure data at different time of the day. I would

I've run into a problem with the datetime axis generated by axis.POSIXct. It appears a similar issue was discussed in October 2003 under the subject line "datetime data and plotting" (see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2003-October/039071.html), but I wasn't able to determine whether there is a straightforward solution. The code below produces a graph with apparently

Hi all, I'm having difficulty converting a 'dates' object to a POSIXct object: testDATES<-c(35947,35971,36004,36008,36053,36066) testDATES<-chron(dates=testDATES, format = c(dates = "m/d/y"), origin=c(month = 12, day = 30, year = 1899)) >[1] 06/01/98 06/25/98 07/28/98 08/01/98 09/15/98 09/28/98 > as.POSIXct(testDATES) [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA

Dear Listers, I have encountered a strange problem using diff() and POSIXt: dts<-c("15/4/2003","15/7/2003","15/10/2003","15/04/2004","15/07/2004","15/10/2004","15/4/2005","15/07/2005","15/10/2005","15/4/2006") dts <- strptime(dts, "%d/%m/%Y") class(dts) [1] "POSIXt"

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",

Hi all, I need to compare time series data files of different time formats. I had no problems with text format using strptime. But how can I convert datetime numbers from Excel (days since 30.12.1899 00:00:00) into POSIXt objects? For example 29770.375 should be converted to "03.07.1981 09:00:00" I tried the following code and encountered strange results: t1-t0 gives 29770.33

I am trying to extract only the winters (defined to be 01-Dec through 28-Feb) of daily data from 1948-2002. There are 90 days in each winter season. I wrote the following code to gather the winter dates into a single vector: DJF <- NULL for(year in 1949:1999) { temp.begin <- strptime(paste("01/12", year-1, sep="/"), "%d/%m/%Y") temp.end <-

Dear R users, I have a data frame which I create with read.csv and then order by date: d <- na.omit(read.csv(...)) d <- d[order(as.Date(as.character(d$Date), format="%d-%b-%y"), decreasing=F, na.last=F),] My problem is that even though the data frame is ordered as requested, the old row numbers are preserved. For example: * Before sorting: > d[1:3,] Date Amt 1

A newbie here - please forgive me if this is a basic question. We have an in house package built in R 2.2.1 (yes we're a little behind the times at our firm)and would like to rebuild it using R 2.5.1. However, when I try and build the package from source, I keep getting this error: Error in as(slotVal, slotClass, strict = FALSE) : no method or default for coercing "POSIXt"

I am trying to clean up some dates and I am clearly doing something wrong. I have laid out an example that seems to show what is happening with the "real" data. The coding is lousy but it looks like it should have worked. Can anyone suggest a) why I am getting that NA appearing after the strptime() command and b) why the NA is disappearing in the sort()? It happens with na.rm=TRUE

Dear useRs, I have a function that creates several global objects with assign("obj",obj,.GlobalEnv), and which I need to run iteratively in another function. The code is similar to f <- function(...) { assign("obj",obj,.GlobalEnv) } fct <- function(...) { for (i in 1:1000) { ... f(...) ...obj... rm(obj) #code fails without this line } } I don't understand

On Windows XP SP3 > format(pippo, format="%I:%M:%S %p") [1] "11:43:12 PM" In any case, if there is a problem it is in Windows, not in R, since this is an Windows service that is being called. So there is no evidence at all of any bug in R here. On Wed, 10 Sep 2008, pego.enrico at tiscali.it wrote: > Full_Name: Enrico Pegoraro > Version: 2.7.2 > OS: Windows
