How do I retain "POSIXct" formatting when using apply, with FUN=max?
#example:
mydata <- rep(Sys.time(), 10)
mydf <- data.frame(matrix(data=mydata, nrow=2, ncol=length(mydata) ) )
for(i in seq(mydf))class(mydf[[i]]) <- class(mydata)
str(mydf)
maxdates <- apply(mydf,2,max,na.rm=T)
str(maxdates)
#Why is the formattign now "chr", and not "POSIXct"?
#Is there a good way to retin "POSIXct" formatting?
