similar to: Function for computing the difference between 2 dates inmonths

Folks: With the help of David L. Reiner, I've developed a function that computes the number of months between 2 dates, x and y. num.months <- function ( x , y ) { x <- as.Date( x ) y <- as.Date( y ) seeq <- seq(from=x , to=y , by="months") ans <- length( seeq ) - 1 if ( max( seeq) > y ) ans <- ans -1 ans } To ease your reading this function, I've

Hi all, I'm having a little bit of trouble with some date conversions and am hoping someone can help me out. Thanks in advance. OK, I have two sources of data that provide date info in a csv file differently. I've attached a small zipped file with two text files that illustrate both. (Is it ok to send attachments to this list? Not sure. It's very small.) I need to be able to

Hi everybody, I am beginer in R and I need your precious help. I want to create a small function in R as in sas to retrieve date. I have a file with data that import in R. DATE PAYS nb_pays.ILI. 1 24/04/2009 usa 0 2 24/04/2009 usa 0 3 24/04/2009 Mexique 0 4 24/04/2009

I am currently puzzled by a seach path behavior. I have a library of a dozen routines getlabs(), getssn(), getecg(), ... that interface to local repositories and pull back patient information. All have a the first 6 arguments in common, and immediately call a second routine to do initial processing of these 6. The functions "joe" and "fred" below capture the relevant

I am trying to calculate the median of each row of a data frame where the data frame consist of columns of class Date. Below are my test data and best attempt at using apply. I didn't see a solution via Google or the Baron search site. I'd be grateful for any suggestions or solutions. I'm using R 2.0.0 on Mac OS X. Thank you, Stephen Weigand ### Test data date1 <- c(1000,

Hi, I have a query about sqldf, and dates in general. I couldnt find much on the net or on the forums, hence I am here. Here is the issue: I want to write a function that accepts 3 arguments: date1, date2 and a dataframe, say 'df'. Within the function, I want to populate a temp dataframe which essentially contains the output of the query "select * from df where DATE between date1

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem performing reshape() on a large data frame. The operation is fairly trivial but it makes R run out of memory. The data frame has the following structure: ID DATE1 DATE2 VALTYPE VALUE 'abcd1233' 2009-11-12 2009-12-23 'TYPE1' 123.45 ... VALTYPE is a string and is a factor with

Full_Name: Alexander L. Belikoff Version: 2.8.1 OS: Ubuntu 9.04 (x86_64) Submission from: (NULL) (67.244.71.200) I'm trying to reshape the following data frame: ID DATE1 DATE2 VALUE_TYPE VALUE 'abcd1233' 2009-11-12 2009-12-23 'TYPE1' 123.45 ... VALUE_TYPE is a string and is a factor with only 2 values

Hi all, following sample code illustrates the problem : Date1 <- Date2 <- as.POSIXlt(seq.Date(as.Date("2010-04-01"),as.Date("2011-04-01"),by='day')) identical(Date1,Date2) all.equal(Date1,Date2) identical() gives the correct answer. As there is no all.equal method for POSIXlt objects, all.equal.list is used instead. Subsetting using [[]] doesn't work

I wasn't even aware I was using midnightStandard. You won't find it in my script. Here is the relevant loop: date1 = timeDate(charvec = Sys.Date(), format = "%Y-%m-%d") date1 dow = 3; for (i in 1:length(V4) ) { x = read.csv(as.character(V4[[i]]), header = FALSE, na.strings=""); y = x[,1]; year = V2[[i]]; week = V3[[i]]; dtstr =

i have a data frame with 2 columns of dates. with str(dataframe) i have ensured myself that they were indeed formatted as dates. one column has NA's in it. the aim is now to make a third column that chooses date1 if it is a date, and choose date2 if it is a NA. i am trying df$date3=ifelse(is.na(df$date1), df$date2, df$date1). this leads to unexpected behaviour: the resulting column is

I am attempting to join several dataframes that summarize sampling effort for different samples into one large data.frame/table. I have looked at the merge command, but have not been clever enough to figure out how to get it to do what I want. A simplified example of what I am trying to do: The dataframes I have look like this (they were generated using the table command) species1.effort

Hi Ahmed, Your problem appears trivial as you have already specified the form of the calculation. Learn how to "extract" specified elements from a data structure: # first value sum(dataset1$NPP[dataset1$date >= date1 & dataset1$date <= date2]) # second value dataset2$biomass[dataset2$date == date2] - dataset2$biomass[dataset2$date == date1] # third value

Dear R users, I am reading data from a file where there are some missing that are represented by -9999.00.

Hi, ?In the example you provided, it looks like the dates in Date2 happens first.? So, I changed it a bit.? DataA<- read.table(text=" ID,Status,Date1,Date2 ??? ??? ?????? 1,A,3-Feb-01,15-May-01 ??? ??? 1,B,15-May-01,16-May-01 ??? ??? 1,A,16-May-01,3-Sep-01 ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? 1,B,3-Sep-01,13-Sep-01 ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? 1,C,13-Sep-01,26-Feb-04 ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I understand that the two following loops should produce the exact same output. However, they do not. It appears that looping directly through the sequence of Date objects somehow makes them be coerced to numeric: > date1 = "20130301" > date2 = "20130302" > > d1 = as.Date(date1, format="%Y%m%d", tz="GMT") > d2 = as.Date(date2,

Hello all, Can somebody point me to references or provide some code on dealing with this date issue. Basically, I have two vectors of values that represent dates. I want to convert these values into a date format and subtract the differences to show elapsed time in days. More specifically, here is the example: Date1 Date2 032398 061585 032398 061585 111694 101994 111694

Hi All, I have an script in R which accepts user inputs for certain parameters, particularly dates, which the user inputs as character strings. eg: > date1 <- "2009-01-21" The script later parses the input via the as.Date function: > as.Date(date1) However, as.Date encounters an error when the string does not represent an actual date. eg: > date1 <-
