Hello,
I find out which package disturbs as.Date(). It is the package Epi:
as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01")
[1] "2000-01-02"
library(Epi)
as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01")
[1] "2070-01-01"
detach("package:Epi")
as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01")
[1] "2000-01-02"
OK - that makes sense. Epi has its own as.Date.numeric function and
upon loading the package you get a warning:
library(Epi)
Attaching package: 'Epi'
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:base':
as.Date.numeric, merge.data.frame
A quick look at the manual page confirms that Epi's version does not
have an origin option.
