Hi, Say we have two chron vectors representing start and end date/times of an event, respectively: R> (xfrom <- chron(seq(1.25, 11, 3.25))) [1] (01/02/70 06:00:00) (01/05/70 12:00:00) (01/08/70 18:00:00) [4] (01/12/70 00:00:00) R> (xto <- chron(as.numeric(xfrom) + seq(1.5, 2.25, 0.25))) [1] (01/03/70 18:00:00) (01/07/70 06:00:00) (01/10/70 18:00:00) [4] (01/14/70 06:00:00) and we

I used to run the julian function from chron but this new version of R has also a julian function in the base package that doesn't do exactly what I need. Is there a way of telling R to run the function from chron and not from base? Thanks, Fernando __________________________ Fernando Colchero Doctoral Fellow Duke University Department of Ecology

Hello, I've encountered the need to cut some chron objects of the form: R> mychron <- chron(sort(runif(10, 0, 10))) R> mychron [1] (01/01/70 16:36:20) (01/02/70 00:08:46) (01/03/70 16:54:49) [4] (01/04/70 06:45:00) (01/07/70 06:21:24) (01/07/70 18:28:44) [7] (01/08/70 00:47:05) (01/08/70 05:11:44) (01/10/70 01:07:53) [10] (01/10/70 17:46:53) into arbitrary (e.g. a given number

Hi, I'm having trouble using dates (created using library(chron)) as groupings for a boxplot. I have 10 repeat measurements of a variable within an individual day. The measurements were done over 10 days. I would like to plot the measurements as a box and wisker plot (using boxplot or something similar) where the days (as chron object) would be the grouping and the repeated measurements

Running R 2.13.1 on Windows XP. I would like to get week of the year (1-52) for each date. library(chron) dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92","02/28/92", "02/01/92")) dts dts.chron <- as.chron(dts) dts.chron class(dts.chron) # all of these component extractions work: months(dts.chron) weekdays(dts.chron) years(dts.chron)

Full_Name: Rick Bilonick Version: 1.6.0 OS: Linux (RH 7.1) Submission from: (NULL) (12.4.226.1) Hi. I'm using Red Hat 7.1 Linux (Intel 586). I installed the 1.6.0 rpm. No problems were reported. When I tried to load the chron library: Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/usr/lib/R/library/chron/libs/chron.so":

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious in the documentation... I'm generating a boxplot boxplot(CleanValue~ApptCategory*ReportingCode,data=newfile) where ApptCategory is a factor with possible values ("New","Established") Problem is, the output orders those factors alphabetically, and I'd really rather see New come first. I'm apparently confused by the

Hi list, I have some questions regarding 1) conversion of date + time characters to chron 2) formatting chron object printing Regarding (1), Gabor's Rnews 2004 4/1 article has been indispensible, but I often work with files where dates and times are contained in a single field. In this case, I would like to control input/output of chron objects when each observation of date and time is

Hey R folks, i found some strange (to me) behaviour with chron to POSIXct conversion. The two lines of code result in two different results, on ewith the correct time zone, one without: library(chron) as.POSIXct(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') as.POSIXlt(chron('12/12/2000'), tz = 'UTC') Only the code below would give me a POSIXct object with the correct time

I can't get the scales parameter in xyplot of lattice to work as I expected. I'm using R-2.1.0 and lattice 0.11-8. There should be year labels from 1992 to 2004 for the x axis in the plot below, but instead only a few of them appear, and in the wrong spots, as if the coordinate system has changed after finishing with the panel function. library(chron) library(lattice) # vertical grid

I was just looking for an easy way to convert between COM datetime and chron datetime (both ways.) I found examples on the list, but they involved origin. Does anyone have functions for converting COM datetime <-> chron datetimethat work "safely"? David L.

I have two local variables: startTime and expectedStartTime. Both are chron related objects. When I look at the class for the objects I can see they are of class "times". When I print them to the console, they both read: "09:30:00" When I print them as.numeric(), they both read: 0.3958333 When I try and compare them: (as.numeric(startTime) == as.numeric(expectedStartTime)) it

Hello, I have questions while reviewing "chron" package(e.g.,chron.R). 1. What is the differences between 3 kinds of function definition ? 1) "name" &lt;- function(... 2) 'name' &lt;- function(... 3) name &lt;- function(... Do you know Why author used various kinds of definitions ? Is there no functional differences between them ? 2. I

Hello there, Using R 2.4.0 on Solaris (Unix): I am trying to control the X axis range on a simple time of day plot. I made a test program (below) that gets file time stamp information from the files in the directory where R starts. The goal of the test program is to plot the time of day of file creation on an x axis that spans a user-specified range (like 12:00:00 to 15:00:00). If I allow

Hi, One of the big decisions when writing code is how to handle dates and times. Gabor Grothendieck provided an excellent overview of the issue in his R News 4/1 (2004) article, and many users and developers are probably using it as a guide. The proposed guideline is to use the simplest class required; as Gabor put it "use Date if possible, otherwise use chron, and otherwise use

I encountered surprising (to me, at least) behavior while using 'hours()' in package 'chron.' I will be grateful if someone can point out my error or provide an explanation and intuitive solution (I suppose I could convert chron to a character vector and use substring, but I deal mostly with newbies and kludgy approaches don't inspire much confidence). I used 2.3.0 to

R 0.90.1 chron 2.2-2 MySQL 3.22.30 Attempts to create a chron object fail when using date and time data from a mysql database. It appears that chron does not like 4 digit years. Is this the problem? my data look like: > c.time[1:10,] Date Time 1 2000-02-14 10:15:02 2 2000-02-14 10:17:03 3 2000-02-14 10:18:03 4 2000-02-14 10:19:03 5 2000-02-14 10:20:04 6 2000-02-14

Hello dear useRs and wizaRds, I encountered the following problem using the hist() method for the 'times' classes from package 'chron'. You should be able to recreate it using the code: library(chron) # pasted from chron help file (?chron) dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", "02/28/92", "02/01/92")) class(dts)

I hope someone can point out my stupid error, because I'm baffled. I am calculating a bunch of variable values and then placing them in a document using odfWeave tags. This is working very nicely for every spot except one. One of the values I calculate is traindev: traindev <- if (trainlength>0) round(sd(trainscores, na.rm=T),1) else "" when I try to insert this traindev
