Dear R users, I have problem with the library fCalendar. I am not using the US standard format notations. It seems like it is not possible to have different format than the US standards. Anyone how knows a way to go around this problem? Here is the code I enter: myDate = "12.03.2005" timeDate(myDate, format = "%d.%m.%Y") And I get following error message: Error in if

Hello: I am trying to use fCalendar for date arithmetic and the RMySQL package for accessing a MySQL database. The fCalendar math operations seem to work fine UNTIL I load the RMySQL package. Here is a demonstration: ean at fibonacci:~/Desktop/amCharts/rsa-metrics$ R R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) Copyright (C) 2008 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R is free

I am using the following command from the Fcalendar Package : x = timeSequence("1992-12-31","1994-12-31") and then y = as.character(x) is a vector of character strings "[1] 1992-12-31" "1993-01-31" "1993-03-03" "1993-03-31" "1993-05-01" etc This is very close to what I need and thank you very much to whomever wrote

Hello, Sorry if anyone gets this message twice, as my mailserver may not be working. Thanks for your response. Your idea makes a lot of sense to me, but I've been unable to get seconds to work. I ended up with this format finally: "2007-10-31_16:20:22" Problem is I am unable to get it recognized as a date using timeDate(): R>

For a model I am working on, I have samples organized by year and week of the year. For this model, the data (year and week) comes from the basic sample data, but I require a value representing the amount of time since the sample was taken (actually, for the purpose of the model, it is sufficient to use the number of weeks from the middle of the sample week to the present). What I have found so

Dear R Experts: I am trying to convert a date and time character field to timeDate where the month is presented as three letters, such as "JUN" for June, etc. This is an example of the full character field: "04-MAY-11 1428" What is the proper format syntax? I've tried timeDate("04-MAY-11 1428",format="%d-%m-%y %H%M") but only get GMT [1]

I have a daily time series and have two questions to get some help with. Firs,t I have dates in simple numeric values. e.g. ymd [1] 20050104 20050105 20050106 20050107 20050110 20050111 20050113 20050114 [9] 20050118 20050120 20050121 20050124 20050125 20050126 20050127 20050128 [17] 20050201 20050202 20050203 20050204 Now, I'd like to compute statistics, e.g. acf, by business days. So, I

Hi, Im using R 2.1.1 and running Code that previously worked (on R 2.1.0 I believe) using the 'timeDate' function from the fCalendar package. The code now throws an error: Error in if (Sys.timezone() != "GMT") warning("Set timezone to GMT!") However I have read the documentation of the fCalendar package and I have set my system variable TZ to GMT. I tracked the

what package should I include to use timeDate? I want to convert a double (num of millis) into date object.

Dear all, I am writing to ask for help to find R code to do the same thing as the following Splus code: dates <- c("02/27/1992", "02/27/1992", "01/14/1992", "02/28/1992", "02/01/1992") timeDate(as.character(dates),in.format="%m/%d/%Y","%a") [1] Thu Thu Tue Fri Sat Could anyone give me some R codes to get the

Dear help-list, I have a problem with timeSequence {timeDate}. When I use it like > timeSequence(from = "2008-01-01", to = "2010-12-13", by = "1 month") GMT [1] [2008-01-01] [2008-02-01] [2008-03-01] [2008-04-01] [2008-05-01] [2008-06-01] [2008-07-01] [2008-08-01] [2008-09-01] [2008-10-01] [2008-11-01] [12] [2008-12-01] [2009-01-01] [2009-02-01] [2009-03-01]

Dear, I'm a master student mathematics at university Gent, who's writing a thesis about vines and copula's. I'm in trouble with the package 'fCalendar' which I need for running 'QRMlib'. The problem is that 'fCalendar' doesn't have a namespace. I need to use R.2.14.1 because I also need the package 'vines' which only works for R.2.14.1. I'm

Hello everybody, it looks like the presense of some (do know know which) S4 methods for a given S4 class degrades the performance of xtfrm (used in 'order' in new R-devel) by a factor of millions. This is for classes that ARE derived from numeric directly and thus should be quite trivial to convert to numeric. Consider the following example: setClass("TimeDateBase",

Dear list, We have encountered problems with the package mvbutils while creating (or reading from disk) timeSeries objects. Below is a very simple example of the problem. We are using R 2.12 in  a PC running Windows 7  64-bit Professional. ----------- library(timeSeries)   cv1 <- as.character(as.Date(1:10, origin = "1970-01-01")) ts1 = timeSeries(1:10, cv1, units = NULL)  

Dear List I just downloaded and installed R 2.12.0 and then installed R Commander . First it got RCmdr and Car, and then suggested for other packages for utilizing the full functionality- I clicked yes! I got 140 packages installed!!! Cran Mirror was UCLA... Here is the list. Is this intentional- I can see some packages like snow and multicore which are desirable but quite optional.(see list

I am attempting to value convertible bonds through a Monte Carlo approach. I want to express call schedules as date-price tuples. Naturally, these tuples need to be expanded to match the frequency of the innovations in the MC process. 1. Is there a straigh-forward way to accomplish this "expansion"? 2. I have noted the existance of ts, its, zoo and fCalendar. Does anyone have an

Hi One of the most important calculation in applied finance is the number of days between dates. That kind of calculus become annoying when a specific calendar must be used. That is the case for the business days calculus. The package timeDate has a function isBizday to perform that kind of thing. The problem is that using this function to calculate the number of business days between dates has

Given S4 methods [ and [<-, how do I write the Rd-file usage clause for the latter one? What I have now is: \S4method{[}{TimeSeries,TimeDate,missing}(x, i, j, ..., drop) \S4method{[<-}{TimeSeries,TimeDate,missing,ANY}(x, i, j, ..., value) which results in the following output: ## S4 method for signature 'TimeSeries, TimeDate, missing': x[i, j, ..., drop]

Hello, I'm trying to build a for loop, where I estimate a series of models with different sets of (time series) data. However my for loop doesn't recognize the "i" ##################### code################ window.1=anomalies.CAK[(positions(anomalies.CAK)>=timeDate("1/1/1971") & positions(anomalies.CAK)<=timeDate("6/30/1991") )] ....

Hello, I must be doing something wrong that's very obvious. But I just don't see it. I changed my Windows Time Zone to GMT and my Financial Center to Montreal. But I still get several warnings. >Sys.timezone() [1] "GMT Daylight Time" >myFinCenter [1] "Montreal" >Sys.timeDate() [1] "Montreal" [1] [2005-04-19 10:55:02] Warning messages: 1: Set
