The date library was written 20 or so years ago. It was a very good first effort, but the newer Date library has superior functionality in nearly every way. The date library is still available, for legacy projects such as yours, but I do not advise it for new work. To answer your specific questions: 1. What you have is a real bug. The underlying C routine that scans through the text returns

I never understood that why is the value returned by as.date function in the library(survival) never matches with the description given in the help file: Following is the extract from ?as.date Description: Converts any of the following character forms to a Julian date: 8/31/56, 8-31-1956, 31 8 56, 083156, 31Aug56, or August 31 1956. Usage: as.date(x, order = "mdy", ...)

Hi everyone, I am trying to use the function as.date() from the "dates" package in R 2.10.0 to convert a character date to a Julian date, as follows: > as.date("02-MAY-01", order="mdy") # convert May 2, 2001 to a Julian date [1] 2May1 However, when trying to convert a character date from the year 2000 to a Julian date, I get an <NA> instead of the desired

When I run R CMD check on the survival package I invariably get a note: ... * checking for file ?survival/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * this is package ?survival? version ?3.2-6? * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE Maintainer: ?Terry M Therneau <therneau.terry at mayo.edu>? ... This is sufficient for the auto-check process to return the following failure message: Dear maintainer,

I am trying to clear up all the "NOTE"s before a CRAN submission, but am a bit confused about this one.?? What is it complaining about -- that it doesn't like my name? ... * checking for file ?deming/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * this is package ?deming? version ?1.4-1? * checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...

Ben, Looking at your notes, it appears that your solution is to write your own terms() function for lme.? It is easy to verify that the "varnames.fixed" attribute is not returned by the ususal terms function. Then I also need to write my own terms function for the survival and coxme pacakges? Because of the need to treat strata() terms in a special way I manipulate the formula/terms in

Question: I am trying to impliment a function in R that we use quite regularly in Splus, and it fails due to a lack of the "terms.inner" function in R. The substitute is? Part question and part soapbox: Why remove terms.inner from R? It's little used, but rather innocuous. Mostly soapbox: I figured it was no big deal, as I originally discovered the use of terms.inner from

I cloned therneau/survival and the installation failed since there is no definition for exported function survfit(). A file seems to be missing - there is survfit0() and survfit0.R but, compared to CRAN, no survfit.R.

Dear Terry, Does fitting group + age:group instead of age*group solves your problem? Best regards, ir.

I've created some Splus code for a microarray problem that - needed to be in C, to take advantage of some sparse matrix properties - uses a cholesky decompostion as part of the computation For the cholesky, I used the cholesky2 routine, which is a part of the survival library. It does just what I want and I'm familiar with it (after all, I wrote it). In Splus, this all works

Martin, I am aware of --vanilla; I use it myself for some testing. In this case R_LIBS_USER was set externally (part of my login) and does not involve any of the R scripts. That means it is inherited by any subprocess.

Martyn, No, that didn't work. One other thing in the mix (which I don't think is the issue) is that I call one of the C-entry points of expm. So the DESCRIPTION file imports expm, the NAMESPACE file imports expm, and the init.c file is #include "R.h" #include "R_ext/Rdynload.h" /* Interface to expm package. */ typedef enum {Ward_2, Ward_1, Ward_buggy_octave}

I'm working on the next iteration of coxme. (Rather slowly during the summer). This is the most subtle code I've done in S, both mathematically and technically, and seems a perfect vehicle for the "literate programming" paradym of Knuth. The Sweave project is pointed at S output however, not source code. I would appreciate any pointers to an noweb type client that was

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

I wrote the date package long ago, and it has been useful. In my current task of reunifying the R (Tom Lumley) and Splus (me) code trees for survival, I'm removing the explicit dependence on 'date' objects from the expected survival routines so that they better integrate. Comparison of 'date' to 'Date' has raised a couple of questions. Clearly Date is more

The date library contains a function date.mdy that converts a number D to the date (month,date,year as a list) at D days after 1 Jan 1960. This a convention that fits in with SASs. The logic would be that the result was the date at D days after 1 Jan 1960 00:00:00 (which is a POINT in time as opposed to a date which is an interval), so that any D with 2<=D<3 was rounded to 3 Jan 1960 and

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

I'd like to get interaction terms in a model to be in another form. Namely, suppose I had variables age and group, the latter a factor with levels A, B, C, with age * group in the model. What I would like are the variables "age:group=A", "age:group=B" and "age:group=C" (and group itself of course). The coefficients of the model will then be the age effect
