I currently have an instance of R running on Solaris 8 Version 2.2.0 (2005-10-06 r35749)
Package: its Version: 1.0.9 Package: Hmisc Version: 3.0-1 I decided to build a new install on Linux RedHat As4.0 32 Bit running R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03) Package: its Version: 1.1.4 Package: Hmisc Version: 3.1-1 Package: chron Version: 2.3-8 I am using the library(its) on both machines and one of the functions I have been using for a long time is quantile to determine the 99% value for a given days data set. This works fine in the old instance of R but is not working on the new build. The only diferrence I see is the library(its) requires library(chron) to be installed on the newer version but not on the original instance. I read in a comma delimited file like the snippet below: 2006-10-16 09:00:01,1.01,23.23,1.98,0.99,1.98,10.89,2.00,0 2006-10-16 09:00:02,1.00,28.00,0,0,1.01,12.00,2.94,0 2006-10-16 09:00:03,1.00,24.00,0,0,1.98,18.00,2.00,0 2006-10-16 09:00:04,1.00,30.69,0,0.99,1.01,12.00,1.01,0 2006-10-16 09:00:05,2.00,26.00,0,0,1.98,15.00,1.98,0 2006-10-16 09:00:06,1.98,25.25,0,0,1.00,12.00,0,0 Etc. To get the information I need I run the following: library(its) its.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") x<-its(readcsvIts("datafilename")) quantile(x[,1],c(.99)) quantile(x[,2],c(.99)) etc. On the older version it returns the proper values, but on the new install I get the following error: > quantile(x[,1],c(.99)) Error in validObject(.Object) : invalid class "its" object: Dates must be non-decreasing Also what is interesting is when I type * x[,1] I get. An object of class its ... then towards the end of the data I get the following.. 2006-10-16 09:01:50 0.99 2006-10-16 09:01:51 1.00 Slot "dates": [1] "2006-10-16 09:00:02 EDT" "2006-10-16 09:00:03 EDT" [3] "2006-10-16 09:00:04 EDT" "2006-10-16 09:00:05 EDT" [5] "2006-10-16 09:00:06 EDT" "2006-10-16 09:00:08 EDT" I am not sure where the Slot "dates" is coming from. If anyone could help it would greatly appreciated.
