Hello all:
I am creating a time series using seq.POSIXt.
ts.full <- as.character(seq.POSIXt(as.POSIXct(start(d.zoo)), as.POSIXct(end(d.zoo)),
by="hour"))
The period crosses the hour of change from "summer time" to "winter time". When
checking with:
duplicated(ts.full)
I see that there are some duplicate hours. These fall right at the time change.
How can I avoid this? (or remove the duplicates)?
If you want us to redefine Daylight Savings time, then you should specify in
great detail exactly how this should be done.
I don’t see any duplicates, anyway, since the DST zones are incuded:
seq(as.POSIXct("2015-10-31 23:00"), as.POSIXct("2015-11-01 4:00"), by="1 hour")
[1] "2015-10-31 23:00:00 PDT" "2015-11-01 00:00:00 PDT" "2015-11-01 01:00:00
PDT"
[4] "2015-11-01 01:00:00 PST" "2015-11-01 02:00:00 PST" "2015-11-01 03:00:00
PST"
[7] "2015-11-01 04:00:00 PST”
Here's what I get:
> Sys.time()
[1] "2015-12-10 08:36:58 IST"
> as.character(seq.POSIXt(as.POSIXct("2015-10-24 23:00"),
as.POSIXct("2015-10-25 04:00"), by="hour"))
[1] "2015-10-24 23:00:00" "2015-10-25 00:00:00" "2015-10-25 01:00:00"
[4] "2015-10-25 01:00:00" "2015-10-25 02:00:00" "2015-10-25 03:00:00"
[7] "2015-10-25 04:00:00"
with the dups at 01:00.
But then explicitly adding the timezone gives:
> as.character(seq.POSIXt(as.POSIXct("2015-10-24 23:00"),
as.POSIXct("2015-10-25 04:00"), by="hour"), tz="IDT")
[1] "2015-10-24 20:00:00" "2015-10-24 21:00:00" "2015-10-24 22:00:00"
[4] "2015-10-24 23:00:00" "2015-10-25 00:00:00" "2015-10-25 01:00:00"
[7] "2015-10-25 02:00:00"
so I guess problem solved, thanks.
But if you use GMT you do get a sequence with no “duplicates:
seq(as.POSIXct("2015-10-31 23:00", tz="GMT"), as.POSIXct("2015-11-01 4:00", tz="GMT"),
by="1 hour")
[1] "2015-10-31 23:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 00:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 01:00:00
GMT"
[4] "2015-11-01 02:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 03:00:00 GMT" "2015-11-01 04:00:00
GMT"
Thanks
