Dear R-helpers,
can I use a POSIXct date as the x variable in interpSpline? The help
page says x and y need to be numeric... is there a workaround?
example:
library(splines)
testdfr <-
data.frame(Date=seq(as.POSIXct("2008-08-01"),as.POSIXct("2008-09-01"),
length=10))
testdfr$yvar <- rnorm(10)
sp <- interpSpline(yvar ~ Date, testdfr)
preddfr <- data.frame(Date=as.POSIXct("2008-08-02"))
predict(sp, preddfr)
thanks,
Remko
