Is there a function in R that is equivalent to S-PLUS's seriesMerge(x1, x2, pos="union") where x1, and x2 are of class timeSeries seriesMerge is in S-PLUS's finmetrics. I looked into R's mergeSeries (in fSeries part of Rmetrics) but I could not make it behave quite the same. In R it expected a timeSeries object and a matrix of the same row count. In S-PLUS when using the

Hello, I was trying to import data from an Excel file. After I imported the data, I was trying to make a scatter plot. The X axes variable is a time variable, which occupies two columns, one is date, another one is time. Example 21-Apr-03, 4:10 PM. My qestion is: 1. How can I access the data of certain column? I mean how can I refer it in R? 2. How can I make the two column character

Hello, I am trying to use HMisc describe on a data frame. I have specified certain variables as dates using, for example: df1$aidsdate <- dates(aidsdate,format="day.mon.year", origin=c(month = 1, day = 1, year = 1960)) When I use describe on the dataframe I get this error: Error in Ops.dates(weights, x) : * not defined for chron objects Has anyone had this problem? I had

Hi,all I only got the time data such as: tms<-c("19:30:23","18:39:10".....) I want to manipulate this time series data. For example, plus one second(or minute) or minus one second This data only has the time(h:m:s), without the date. I know that there are chron package, ISOPix class and the timeDate class, but all these class need the input of date. How can we

We use Informix database. I was able to connect to the database with S-PLUS by using its CONNECT/Java through the JDBC driver. How can I connect to Informix with R, wither using JDBC or any other method? we run Linux so I prefer a method other than ODBC. Thankx for the help

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

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>

Hello! I am trying to identify which ones of a vector of dates are US holidays. And, ideally, which is which. And I do not know (a-priori) which dates those should be. I have, for example: x<-seq(as.Date("2011-01-01"),as.Date("2011-12-31"),by="day") (x) I think chron should help me here - but maybe I am not using it properly: library(chron) is.holiday(chron) #

Hi, If I have the following data.frame >y time val 1 08:00:05.834 1 2 08:03:13.345 2 3 08:10:12.443 3 > and the following function which converts the time string to the number of milliseconds since midnight > str_to_millis function( s ) { a <- as.numeric( unlist( strsplit(s,":",fixed="TRUE") ) ) m <- a[1]*3600000 + a[2]*60000 + a[3]*1000 }

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]

Hi All : I am attempting tomove a large amount of code from Splus to R and I was hoping that there was an equivalent in R of the Splus functions timeSeq and timeDate ? I did an RSiteSearch but nothing came up ? If the equivalent functions are part of some package, that's fine. Thanks a lot. Mark

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

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]

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

I'm reading in ~3 years worth of data that includes hourly timestamps. Presumably to avoid DST confusion, all the data is in PST time zone -- no discontinuities in the spring or fall. The data comes in a csv file, which I'm reading with myvariable <- read.csv("my_data_file.csv",header=FALSE,

Hello, I have large zoo objects (about 100 or more time series merged next to eachother).

I a have a text file where every line is like that: "2007-12-03 13:50:17 Juan Perez" ("yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss First Name Second Name") I would like to make a data frame with two column one for date and the other one for name. When I use read.delim it was transformed in a data frame with 4 colums. Bye, Sebasti?n.

R offers a bewildering array of options when it comes to representing dates and times (e.g, as.Date, chron, strptime, zoo, etc). Can anybody recommend a document that compares the relative merit of each method? I'm not looking for help with any one method, but rather a guide that describes which method is best for a particular data analysis/plotting goal. Thanks, Jake [[alternative
