Dear all, when I put date objects (class of 'Date') in a matrix it becomes numeric:
> dat <- matrix(seq(as.Date("2011-01-01"), as.Date("2011-01-09"), by="1 day"), 3) > dat [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 14975 14978 14981 [2,] 14976 14979 14982 [3,] 14977 14980 14983 > class(dat[1,1]) [1] "numeric" As it could not preserve the 'Date' characteristics after putting my Date observations, I find it difficult to carry forward further calculation with Dates. Can somebody help me on how to preserve the Data properties while storing them within some matrix?
