the help page for plot.POSIXct says "As from R 2.9.0 the date-times for a '"POSIXct"' input are interpreted in the timwzonw give by the '"tzone"' attribute it there is one, otherwise the current timezone. (Earlier vrsions always used the current timezone.)" however I am using 2.9.0 on linux and the following still happily produces an

Dear R-help, I was trying to convert a date and time record extracted from a fortran subroutine I worte and I encounter some problem. The data read in time and date in a format like "2000-05-11_01:00:00.0000" in fortran output. It is in GMT. I need to convert it to CST (GMT+8). I did the following steps. > cdate [1] "2000-05-11_01:00:00.0000\005\003" # I am not sure

Hi all; I've already send a similar e-mail to the list and Prof. Brian Ripley answered me but my doubts remain unresolved. Thanks for the clarification, but perhaps I wasn't clear enough in posting my questions. I've got a postgres database which I read into R. The first column is Timestamp with timezone, and my data are already in UTC format. An 'printed' extract of R

Hello, Suppose we need a function that takes a POSIXct object and need to calculate the time difference between it and GMT time: gmtDiff <- function(time) { time.gmt <- as.POSIXct(format(time, tz="GMT")) time.plt <- as.POSIXlt(time) dlstime <- ifelse(time.plt$isdst > 0, 1, 0) timezone <- as.numeric(difftime(time, time.gmt, units="hours"))

Hi, I have a whole bunch of data, which looks like: 15/03/2003 10:20 1 15/03/2003 10:21 0 15/03/2003 12:02 0 16/03/2003 06:10 0 16/03/2003 06:20 0.5 16/03/2003 06:30 0 16/03/2003 06:40 0 16/03/2003 06:50 0 18/03/2003 20:10 0.5 etc. (times given on a 24 hour clock) and goes on for years. I have some code:

Hi, As I didn't get any response on the general help list and I don't know if there is a bug in action I am trying my luck here. I was highly surprised to find out that during simple operations (see code below) the timezone attribute for POSIXct data is lost and then, upon the next interpretation, the system settings are used (which are plain wrong in my case). I have used R 2.8.0

Hi all, I am testing R 4.0 and ran into an issue with timezones on Ubuntu Focal: converting a timestamp to another timezone results in NA: as.POSIXct(as.POSIXlt(Sys.time(), tz = "CET"), tz = "EST") This only happens on Ubuntu Focal, it seems to work fine on Ubuntu Bionic. I am the standard ubuntu docker image icw/ r-base from Dirk's ppa:edd/r-4.0 on both systems. Am I

Hola a todos: Tengo un problema con las fechas, básicamente necesito una diferencia en días y siempre se sale en segundos. Salvo un ejemplo copiado de un libro, pero yo necesito procesar los datos propios. Les paso el código en R (copiar y pegar, son solo dos días que se comparan) y al final como me salen los resultados porque es medio complicada mi redacción. ¿Alguna idea? fechas1

Hi Guys, I'm cooking up my time series code. I want a data frame with first column as timestamp in POSIXlt format. I hit on this the problem of how to create an array/list/vector of POSIXlt objects. Code is as follows > dtt=array(dim = 2) > t=as.POSIXlt( strptime("07/12/07 13:20:01", "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S",tz="GMT")) > dtt [1] NA NA > t [1]

I am trying to use POSIX datetime objects rather than chron datetime objects but am having difficulty with POSIX in a time series. My question: Once a POSIXct vector is bound to a time series, is there a function to convert back to POSIXct? The following code demonstrates what I am trying to do. > ts(as.POSIXct(strptime(tmp,"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")),freq=1440) Time Series: Start =

I think the following examples illustrate the crux of the matter (version and OS info are below). The problem has to do with the transition from standard time to daylight savings time. My timezone, US/Pacific, has two parts: standard time (PST) 8 hours behind GMT and daylight savings time (PDT) 7 hours behind GMT. The transition takes place this year on 7 April at 02:00, when 02:00 is

Dear Listers, Apologize to pile up on the 'tz' issue in POSIX objects. I have a 'simple' thing on which I must make up my mind but cannot do it from the existing R-help threads. I am currently working on dog telemetry in China, and download time information from GPS collars. I would like to set up the corresponding POSIXxx variables in R to a given time zone. Eg Pekin

From POSIXct to numeric and back with time zone I am running regressions on data which has time series with different time resolution. Some data has hourly resolution, while most has either daily or weekly resolution. Aggregation is used to make the hourly data daily, while liner interpolation is used to find daily data from the weekly time series. This data manipulation requires some careful

POSIXt vectors do not support different time zones element-to-element. If you want to keep track of timezones per element, you have to create a vector of timestamps (I would recommend POSIXct using UTC) and a parallel vector of timezone strings. How you manipulate these depends on your use cases, but from R's perspective you will have to manipulate them element-by-element. I complained about

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

I am finding that axis.POSIXct uses the local timezone for deciding where to put tic marks, even if the data being plotted are in another time zone. The solution is to use attr() to copy from the 'x' (provided as an argument) to the 'z' (used for the 'at' locations). I have pasted my proposed solution in section 1 below (as a diff). Then, in section 2, I'll put some

I used quantmod to pull in price data from the ticker SPY. The data has date and closing price. I would like to show the day of the week for each closing price. Is that possible? Also, I would like to add the back into the data frame in a new column without changing the structure of the data set if possible. SPY 2009-01-02 92.96 2009-01-05 92.85 2009-01-06 93.47
