I am analysing some data collected over a number of months from Allentown, PA, which is just north of Philadelphia. I am using as.POSIXct for dates and times, and I need to get the timezone specification correct.
Going on the documentation for DateTimeClasses, I believe one way to specify the correct time zone is
tz="EST5EDT"
I would be grateful for any advice on this. I ask because I haven't been able to find a list of all the possible time zones or formats that can be used. I have done a bit of googling without to much success.
I have read Gabor's article in the recent R Newsletter too.
