I would like to get week of the year (1-52) for each date.

library(chron)
dts <- dates(c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92","02/28/92", "02/01/92"))
dts
dts.chron <- as.chron(dts)
dts.chron
class(dts.chron)
# all of these component extractions work:
months(dts.chron)
weekdays(dts.chron)
years(dts.chron)
quarters(dts.chron)
# but weeks() doesn't seem to work

It doesn't "work" for me either but since I also have the package lubridate loaded, and ?weeks brings up a lubridate help page, I don't feel I have any right to complain. I get an error message.... what did you get?:

Error in Ops.dates(pieces$week, 7) : * not defined for chron objects

If I were posting I would also have had the good sense to include the output of sessionInfo().

weeks(dts.chron)

Try type just:

 weeks  # I get a lubridate function.


?chron tells me:


Bur what does ?weeks tell you?

. . . The functions days(), months(), quarters(),
years(), weeks(), weekdays(), hours(), minutes(), and seconds() take
any chron object as input and extract the corresponding time interval
. . . .

Any advice?

Thanks.
