Dear R Helpers, I am having difficulty with strptime. I wish to find the differences between two vectors of times. I have apparently no difficulty to convert the vectors to the appropriate format using strptime. But, then difftime does not calculate all the differences. Here is the code and output:- dob=strptime(as.character(datx$BDT),'%d-%b-%y'); dob$year=dob$year-100

Dear Bert and all, I am really sorry. This is the full code: dat<-read.csv("example.csv")attach(dat) sdate<-as.Date(Date, format="%Y-%m-%d") #change the colour of the strip background my.settings <- canonical.theme(color=FALSE) my.settings[['strip.background']]$col <- "blue" dat_key <- list(space="right", ??????????????? lines =

I would like to know how many years (including partial years) are between two dates. So difftime("20/11/1962", "20/5/1964", units="years") would be about 1.5 But units of years are not available. cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Not reproducible, as we have neither "example.csv" nor "Date" .

1. Not reproducible since my.settings, dat_key, sdate not provided. 2. Why did you not try something like ylim = c(-5,80) ?

Dear all I am trying to make a plot in xyplot lattice by groups. I would like to show "0" in y axis but I don't want to be aligned with the x axis. I want to be a little bit above. I have tried many options but I don't get what I want. I also tried ylim=c(0, 80) but both 0 and 80 are fully aligned with the x-axis and the upper boundary of the plot, respectively: xyplot(upper.zn +

Hi Maria Rule 1 make sure your data is in the right format dat <- source("G:/1/savedat.txt") > dat $value Location Date Zn2 upper.zn lower.zn 1 upstream 2016-04-27 29.92477 55.59800 13.912207 2 spill 2016-04-27 12.84040 22.07006 6.964934 3 downstream 2016-04-27 22.49673 41.60901 11.739109 4 upstream 2016-06-28 23.98425 45.60219 10.690640 5

Dear all, Thank you very much for the help. ylim=c(-5, 80) worked.? Regarding the reproducible example, I used dput () and saved the file as txt. It is not the first time that I used this way and normally it works. Because when I try to attach a .csv file with the data, most of the time it doesn't go through.? I will know for the next time.? Many thanks. Regards,Maria ???? 2:11 ?.?.

Dear Maria The file you attached to your first e-mail did come through but I think some people on the list must have missed it.

I have two pairs of related vectors x1,y1 and x2,y2 I wish to do a test for differences in means of x1 and y1, ditto x2 and y2. I am getting odd results. I am not sure I am using 'pt' properly... I have not included the raw vectors as they are long. I am interested if I am using R properly... > c(length(x1), length(y1), length(x2), length(y2)) [1] 3436 1619 2677 2378 First

My x axis is a series of daily dates (e.g., 01/01/2000, 01/02/2000, etc.) from 2000 to end of 2008. The default only gives me 4 ticks. I want more. Why doesn't this work? sdate<-as.POSIXct(strptime(date,format="%m/%d/%Y")) plot(ppt~sdate,type="l",ylim=c(0,47),col=1,lwd=1,pch=16,ylab="Salinity, psu",xlab="Year",las=1,main="Duck Key

It seems obvious to me that the empty string "" is length 0. cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have trouble with this: as.Date("Sep-1981", format="%b-%Y") Returns "NA" >From documentation for strftime '%b' Abbreviated month name in the current locale. (Also matches full name on input.) '%Y' Year with century. What am I doing wrong? cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Newbie here~ I've spent a ton of time on this, but have to admit I am stuck. I've tried various combinations of strptime and the package CHRON, but still can't get there. My simple task is that I want to plot salinity (S1 or S2) on y-axis and time on x-axis, but I want to use a lay-understandable representation of time (not Julian). If I use the following command, I can make a

I think I am whistling in the wind, but is there a modern symbolic debugger for R programmes? I am working through some one else's code, thousands of lines, that has the occasional bug in it, and a lot in my understanding of it. I cannot make setBreakpoint or findLineNum work. I get "No source refs found.". I am starting to loose my mind! A debugger where I could set

Friends I clearly donot understand how sapply and vapply work. What I have is a function that returns a matrix with an indeterminate number of rows (some times zero) but a constant number of columns. I cannot reliably use an apply function to assemble the matrices into a matrix. I am not sure it is possible. I can demonstrate the core of my confusion with this simple code. A.f <-

I am puzzled by the scope rules that apply with sapply. If I want to modify a vector with sapply I tried... N <- 10 vec <- vector(mode="numeric", length=N) test <- function(i){ vec[i] <- i } sapply(1:N, test) vec but it not work. How can this be done? Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is it possible to get a line number with an error report? I have a long script and an error: Error in `[.xts`(x, xsubset) : subscript out of bounds It would be very helpful, and save a lot of time, if there was some indication in the error message which line the error was. I can find it using binary search but that is a painful process. cheers Worik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Friends I am trying to format a number to a string so 2189.745 goes to "2,189.35" and 309283.929 goes to "309,283.93" I have tried to use formatC(X, big.mark=",",drop0trailing=FALSE, format="f") but it does not get the number of decimals correct. Specifying digits does not work as that is significant digits. I could use a switch statement switching on
