similar to: bug in difftime with as.POSIXct

The following three calls all produce the same result (my machine is in EST): > as.POSIXct(0, tz="", origin=ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,10,0,0)) [1] "1970-01-01 10:00:00 EST" > as.POSIXct(0, tz="EST", origin=ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,10,0,0)) [1] "1970-01-01 10:00:00 EST" > as.POSIXct(0, tz="GMT", origin=ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,10,0,0)) [1]

I think that there is a bug in the as.POSIXct function on Windows. Here is what I get on Win2000, Pentium III machine in R 1.8.1. > dd1 <- ISOdatetime(2003, 10, 26, 0, 59, 59) > dd2 <- ISOdatetime(2003, 10, 26, 1, 0, 0) > dd2 - dd1 Time difference of 1.000278 hours Now, the 26th of October was the day that change to the standard time occurred, so I suspect that this has

I want to find the DOY (Day of Year) of some dates. I think to substract the date 1. January from the data to achive this. Something like: > d <- as.Date("2006-03-13") - as.Date("2006-01-01") +1 > d Time difference of 72 days So far so good. But d is a 'difftime' object. How do I get an Integer value from that? I tried severel things, incuding the

Hello, I at first thought this was a system or locale issue, but since it occurs on both Windows and Linux and only for 2004 (AFAIK) I report it. I have a problem with as.POSIXct for the hour between "2004-10-03 02:00:00 GMT" and "2004-10-03 02:59:59 GMT". In short, the 2 AM (GMT) hour in 2004 (but not in other years) is interpreted as 1 AM by strptime: (I use ISOdatetime

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

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

Dear R users, I have a quick question regarding creating an index for a zoo object. I am using R 2.12 on winxp. I have read through the R archives searching for information on dates and time series analysis and nothing seems to cover my question. I am extracting data from a time series of remote sensing data. The frequency of the data is 16 days which means I cant use ts (ts likes months single

Dear list, I need to transform the DateTime of my GPS data from: "666.1751" into "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" I have the following code: d$Date <- ISOdatetime(2009, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, tz = "GMT")+d$Date*(24*3600) This gives me: 2010-10-29 04:12:09, which is wrong. It should be 2010-10-29 06:12:09 Another example: 418.3219 corresponds to: 2010-02-23 07:43:30, but it

Dear all, I am using the ISOdatetime function like this: test.info$TradeTime = with(test.info, mapply(FUN = ISOdatetime, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, 60, "EST")) Where Year, Month etc are all numeric. I think ISOdatetime should return a POSIXct object. However, the result I obtained from the line above is all numeric. Could you please advise? I wish to get POSIXct. Thank you

Hi All, I am watching a strange behaviour of ISOdatetime. In my work computer, I get NA when I try to do > ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,2,0,0) [1] NA But on other dates and/or times (hour) works OK > ISOdatetime(1995,03,25,2,0,0) [1] "1995-03-25 02:00:00 GMT" In my home computer, I do not have this problem. I am running the same version of R (2.8.1 patched) on both machines, the

Hi all, I am using ISOdatetime, and I just found out that when I do ISOdatetime(1995,03,26,2,10,0) (or any other value under minutes or seconds) I get NA This does not happen with the same time in other dates, nor with different hours in the same date. Any hint why this happens? Using R 2.8.1 under ESS/GnuEmacs under Windows XP Pedro -- View this message in context:

I am having a series of problems using date time data that has been converted into a POSIXt and POSIXlt classes. I have hourly time series data from 1900 that has been converted from text data.

Hello, I have been trying to plot correctly a graph for 2 month now, with no success.I want to put a grid, adjusted on the X axis tickers. Here is the way I build my X-Axis and my grid: grid(11, NULL, col="grey40") axis(2) # build the tickers on the beginning of each monthticks.at <- seq(ISOdatetime(lastYear, 01, 01, hour=0, min=0, sec=0, tz="GMT"),

Hello! I notice I can convert strings containing hour, minute or second specifications to a 'difftime': > as.difftime("12 h", "%H") Time difference of 12 hours > as.difftime("12 m", "%M") Time difference of 12 mins > as.difftime("12 s", "%S") Time difference of 12 secs But I can't do so with a week specification,
