I am wondering what others do when they want to see a summary of difftime. > If it is the latter, then this should do it. > res<-do.call(data.frame,lapply(s,difftime2string)) > names(res)<-names(s) > res > # Min. 1st Qu.

I now think that what I want is --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- difftime.summary <- function (v) { s <- summary(as.numeric(v)) r <- as.data.frame(sapply(s,difftime2string),stringsAsFactors=FALSE) names(r) <- c("string") r[[units(v)]] <- s r } > difftime.summary(infl$delay) string secs Min. 500.00 ms 0.5 1st Qu. 17.12 min 1027.0 Median 99.48 min 5969.0 Mean 8.30 hrs 29870.0 3rd Qu. 8.05 hrs 28970.0 Max. 6.98 days 603100.0 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) X 11.0.11103000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://ffii.org http://jihadwatch.org http://memri.org http://www.memritv.org http://camera.org http://mideasttruth.com A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
