Hello, I am trying to define a different interval for a "year". In hydrology, a "water year" is defined as the period between October 1st and September 30 of the following year. I was wondering how I might do this in R. Say I have a data.frame like the following and I want to extract a variable with the water year specs as defined above:
df<-data.frame(Date=seq(as.Date("2000/10/1"), as.Date("2003/9/30"), "days")) ## Extract the normal year df$year <- factor(format(as.Date(df$Date), "%Y")) So the question is how might I define a variable that extends from October 1st to September 30th rather than the normal January 1st to December 31st? Thanks in advance!
