similar to: ylab in plot.POSIXct

You get a warning message when you specify a ylab parameter while plotting data whose x's are POSIXct values. Apparently the `axis.POSIXct' method tries to reset the ylab---via the ... parameter---after it has already been set by higher level methods. Here is a function that illustrates the problem. ylabProblem <- function() { x <- ISOdate(2003, 4, 1:10) # POSIXct

Although the documentation is somewhat sketchy, I() can be used to create objects of class AsIs: > I("a") [1] "a" attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "character" > I(4) [1] 4 attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "numeric" > I(4 + 0i) [1] 4+0i attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "complex" > This

R developers, The "tzone" attribute is stripped from a POSIXct object when the subscript command is called ("[.POISXct"). This results in dates being printed in the locale specific format after a subscript operation is applied to a POSIXct object which has cause several problems for me in the past. Here is an example of this problem under R 1.9.1: > x <-

Would it be hard to make the X11 device driver in R accept general X11 resources? In particular I would like to be able to set the title of the graphics window when I start it up. (Note this is not the same thing as the title of a plot but rather is the character string visible to the window manager, and usually goes in a titlebar on top.) For example in Splus one can do > motif('-xrm

Hi all, I'm having difficulty converting a 'dates' object to a POSIXct object: testDATES<-c(35947,35971,36004,36008,36053,36066) testDATES<-chron(dates=testDATES, format = c(dates = "m/d/y"), origin=c(month = 12, day = 30, year = 1899)) >[1] 06/01/98 06/25/98 07/28/98 08/01/98 09/15/98 09/28/98 > as.POSIXct(testDATES) [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA

Thank you Rui for your code. I basically understood all your suggestions. I am using an old version of R (version 3.6.3, installed in a server I am not allowed to control), and the new pipe operator does not work. I tried to run your code without the "|>" operator, but I get an error when I use apply. Could you please expand your code without the pipe operator? Thank you again

The initial authors of R said?, "...we implemented the language by first writing an interpreter for a Scheme subset and then progressively mutating it to resemble S." Further on in that article they elaborated that their strategy was to create a parser that would take expressions in S-like syntax and translate them to Scheme S-expressions. Does R still work that way? Can R be made to

Hello: What is the recommended method for retaining the tzone attributes when concatonating POSIXct objects? > (d1 <- ISOdate(1970,1,1)) # Sets the tzone attribute = GMT [1] "1970-01-01 12:00:00 GMT" > (d1.2 <- c(d1, d1)) # c(..) strips the tzone attribute, displays in the time zone of the operating system [1] "1970-01-01 04:00:00 PST" "1970-01-01

Dear all, I have found the following (for me) incomprehensible behaviour of ISOdate (POSIXct): > ISOdate(1900,6,16) [1] "1900-06-15 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" > ISOdate(1950,6,16) [1] "1950-06-16 14:00:00 Westeurop?ische Sommerzeit" Note that in the first case I get the 15th of June back, not the 16th as I would have expected! This happened under R-1.7.1 on

Dear R-people! I am using R 1.8.0, under Windows XP. While using ISOdate() and strptime(), I noticed the following behaviour when "wrong" arguments (e.g., months>12) are given to these functions: > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=20) #ok [1] "2003-02-20 13:00:00 Westeurop?ische Normalzeit" > ISOdate(year=2003,month=2,day=30) #wrong day, but returns a value [1]

hi, I've troubles with some difftime objects. e.g. ISOdate(2001, 4, 26) - ISOdate(2001, 2, 26) - 2 works, telling me "Time difference of 57 days". But when I'd like to add days, such as ISOdate(2001, 4, 26) - ISOdate(2001, 2, 26) + 2 the function gives me an error. Function "as.COMDate.chron" of the Rbloomberg package doesn't work for that reason. I'm

I have some data that was created for import into a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet and on of the columns is time. The time is akin to Julian were the value 1 is mapped "01-Jan-00 12:00:00 AM" in Lotus 1-2-3. Is there a function in an R package that can convert this numeric vector to a POSIXct vector? With best wishes and kind regards I am Sincerely, Corey A. Moffet Instructor Department

I'd like to make a plot showing frequency of an event. The data is in a data from that includes Year, Month and Day (of month) fields, so I created a Date with ISOdate(Year, Month, Day, tz=''). I can plot frequencies for the year 2002 with > thisyear <- Date[Year==2002] > hist( thisyear, xaxt='n' ) > axis.POSIXct( 1, at=seq(min(thisyear), max(thisyear),

Hi, Given a date, how do I get the last date of that month? I have data in the form YYYYMM, that I've read as a date using > x$Date <- as.Date(ISOdate(substr(x$YearEnd,1,4),substr(x$YearEnd,5,6),1)) But this gives the first day of the month. To get the last day of the month, I tried > as.Date(as.yearmon(x$Date,frac=0)) But I don't get the last day of the month here. (Tried

Dear list: working with date/times I have come across a problem that ISOdate and ISOdatetime are too slow on large vectors of data. I was surprised just until I looked at the implementation and the man page: "ISOdatetime and ISOdate are convenience wrappers for strptime". In other terms, they convert data to character representation first in order to create a POSIXlt object that is then

Hi Ogbos, You can just use ISOdate. If you pass more values, it will process them: ISOdate(2018,01,22) [1] "2018-01-22 12:00:00 GMT" > ISOdate(2018,01,22,18,17) [1] "2018-01-22 18:17:00 GMT" Add something like: if(is.null(data$hour),data$hour<-12 then pass data$hour as it will default to the same value as if you hadn't passed it.

Hello out there.... Again I have a problem and I stuck... How can I sort a vector of dates? For example I have the vector a<-ISOdate(2001, 1, 1) + 70*86400*runif(10) How can this vector be sorted chronological? And what's the function I should work with to handle these entries? (in sense of: which(a>2001-01-04) or somehting like that) Thank you for helping M.Kirschbaum

Dear All, I have a data set containing year, month, day and counts as shown below: data <- read.table("data.txt", col.names = c("year", "month", "day", "counts")) Using the formula below, I converted the data to as date and plotted. new.century <- data$year < 70 data$year <- ifelse(new.century, data$year + 2000, data$year + 1900)
