I have applied these patches to R-devel and in my limited testing they appear to work as desired. I have to say that I never ran into the problem these patches were meant to solve so I may not be the best person to do the testing. -roger Marc Schwartz wrote: > Hi all, > > Apologies for the d

Hi all, Apologies for the delay in my engaging in this thread. I was traveling this week. The problem that Gabor raised was caused by the patch that I submitted to fix a problem with the referenced functions when using 'months' and 'years' as the interval. The prior versions were problematic

Re: [Rd] cut.Date and cut.POSIXt problem

2008-03-18 Thread Roger D. Peng
Seems changes in r44116 force the interval to be single months (or years) instead of whatever the user specified. I think the attached patches correct this. Interestingly, 'cut' and 'seq' allow for the 'breaks' specification to be something like "3 months" but the documentation for 'hist' does

By the way, it would be nice if the breaks argument accepted the word "quarter" directly since its quite a common break to need when using dates. On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 2:29 PM, Gabor Grothendieck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using > > [1] "R version 2.6.2 alpha (2008-01-26 r44181)" > > and

Seems it did work as advertised in R 2.6.0 but is still broken in R-devel. Will take a look. -roger Gabor Grothendieck wrote: > cut.Date and cut.POSIXt indicate that the breaks argument > can be an integer followed by a space followed by "year", etc. > but it seems the integer is ignored. > >

[Rd] cut.Date and cut.POSIXt problem

2008-03-18 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
cut.Date and cut.POSIXt indicate that the breaks argument can be an integer followed by a space followed by "year", etc. but it seems the integer is ignored. For example, I assume that breaks = "3 months" is supposed to cut it into quarters but, in fact, it cuts it into months as if 3 had not been
