Overview

About

Maintained by Tanguy BarthelemyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

The ts objects in R are managed using a very specific date format (in the form c(2022, 9) for September 2022 or c(2021, 2) for the second quarter of 2021, depending on the frequency, for example). We focus solely on monthly and quarterly series to manage the dates of ts objects. The general idea is to offer a set of functions to manage this date format without it being too restrictive or too imprecise depending on the rounding. This is a compromise between simplicity, precision and use of the basic 'stats' functions for creating and managing time series (ts(), window()). Les objets ts en R sont gérés par un format de date très particulier (sous la forme c(2022, 9) pour septembre 2022 ou c(2021, 2) pour le deuxième trimestre 2021 selon la fréquence par exemple). On se concentre uniquement sur les séries mensuelles et trimestrielles pour gérer les dates des objets ts. Lidée générale est de proposer un ensemble de fonctions pour gérer ce format de date sans que ce soit trop contraignant ou trop imprécis selon les arrondis. Cest un compromis entre simplicité, précision et utilisation des fonctions du package 'stats' de création et de gestion des séries temporelles (ts(), window()).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("date4ts", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("TractorTom/date4ts")

Development version from TractorTom/date4ts. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-date4ts

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-date4ts

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-date4ts

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
