strptime produces a POSIXlt result and you likely intended POSIXct instead: as.POSIXct(x, format = %Y/%m/%d %H:%M) for storing in a data frame. Also to avoid time zone problems down the line you might want to use chron: library(chron) as.chron(x, format = %Y/%m/%d %H:%M) See R News 4/1. On

[R] Problem with as.POSIXct on dates object

2009-07-19 Thread Remko Duursma
Dear R-helpers, I have a problem converting an object made with the 'chron' function to a POSIXct object: # Make date based on DOY dat - chron(dates=232, origin.=c(month=1, day=1, year=2008)) dat #[1] 08/20/08 # Converting to POSIXct uses current timezone (Sydney): as.POSIXct(dat) #[1]

as.POSIXct.dates does not make use of tz: as.POSIXct.dates function (x, ...) { if (inherits(x, dates)) { z - attr(x, origin) x - as.numeric(x) * 86400 if (length(z) == 3L is.numeric(z)) x - x + as.numeric(ISOdate(z[3L], z[1L], z[2L], 0))

as.POSIXct.dates does not make use of tz: Ok, but it is supposed to, right? Or maybe the documentation can be updated, because ?as.POSIXct does seem to imply the timezone is used (as it is for other methods of as.POSIXct). thanks, Remko -

Thanks Chuck. Ups, did not think of the problem in that way. That did exactly what I needed. I have another complication to this problem: I do not only have one vector of 1:1e^6 but several vectors of different length, say 5. Initially, my intervals are distributed over those 5 vectors and the

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I might not have made myself very clear. I actually have about 2000 sets of M, D, O, and S, so it's probably not efficient to make each a separate set and then index. I've put everything into a data frame, so I would like to test how well the regression fit

Another possibility, if the total length of your intervals is small in comparison to the big interval is to choose the starting points of all your intervals randomly and to dismiss the entire set if some of the intervals overlap. Most probably you will not have too many such cases (assuming,

Hi everyone! I'm new to R, and I've sent this message as a non-member, but since it's pretty urgent, I'm sending it again now I'm on the mailing list (Thanks Daniel for your suggestion nevertheless). I have calculated a regression in the form of M ~ D + O + S, and I would like to take this
