I am not seeing anything but that proves nothing of course. You could
write your own function and stick it in the .First of your .Rprofile
files that get loads at startup.
Details here:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Lemon-kickstart/kr_first.html
week.dBY <- function(x) format(strptime(x, "%d%B%Y") , "%W")
> dt<-"07JAN2009"
> week.dBY(dt)
[1] "01" # a character valued vector
Gives "00" for "01JAN2009" but you can adjust that behavior to your
specifications. You could also convert to numeric if desired:
> nweek.dBY <- function(x) as.integer(format(strptime(x, "%d%B%Y") ,
"%W"))
> nweek.dBY(dt)
[1] 1

Hi R users,
I am looking for a date function that will give the following:
- The number-of-week value is in the range 01-53
- Weeks begin on a Monday and week 1 of the year is the week that
includes both January 4th and the first Thursday of the year.
If the first Monday of January is the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, the
preceding days are part
of the last week of the preceding year. This is similar to
the
SAS's week function with option V.
I am currently using :
date <- strptime(DATE, "%d%B%Y")
week <- format(date, "%W")
but, I could not find an option for doing the above description
automatically. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance for any help.
