[R] month increment for chron dates

2005-09-18 Thread bmw8042
I have a vector of over 7,000 chron dates in the format mm/dd/yy. I need to increment each date in the vector by a standard number of months. Lapply with seq.dates is working OK; this increments the vector x by 3 months: dates(unlist(lapply(x, function(g) seq.dates(g, by=months, length=4)[4])))

I don't know if this is any faster but it does not use any loops or apply so maybe it is. x is assumed to be a vector chron dates. Note that the question is not well specified for days near the end of the month and I have not addressed that. with(month.day.year(x), { year - ifelse(month

I have a couple of other comments. You can write the nested grouping factors as Sundar did without having to explicitly evaluate the interaction term and drop unused levels. The lmer function, like most modeling functions in R, uses the optional argument drop.unused.levels = TRUE when creating

To elaborate a bit on Harold's reply, the use of a spaghetti plot for more than 4 or 5 groups is not recommended. Consider the longitudinal data sleepstudy in the Matrix package. A spaghetti plot can be produced by data(sleepstudy, package = Matrix) library(lattice) xyplot(Reaction ~ Days,

[R] How to test homogeneity of covariance matrices?

Dear Group Members, Forgive me if I am a little bit out of subject. I am looking for a good way to test the homogeneity of two variance-covariance matrices using R, prior to a Hotelling T² test. You’ll probably tell me that it is better to use a robust version of T², but I have no precise
