adding 1 month to a date
Try this. Note that mapply strips off the class which is why we
set up dd with the correct class and then just replaced the values.
# test data
d <- as.Date("2005-1-1") + seq(0,90,30)
# calculations, dd is the result
next.month <- function(x) seq(x, len = 2, by = "months")[2]
dd <- d
dd[] <- mapply(next.month, dd)

Thanks. How do I use this to calculate a new variable (e.g."data$next_month") from an existing variable (e.g."Data$date_").
I tried : <data$next_month<-seq(as.Date(data$date_), len = 2, by = "month")[2]>,
but get the following error message: "Error in seq.Date(as.Date(data$date), len = 2, by = "1 month") : 'from' must be of length 1"
Thanks.

Within an R dataset, I have a date field called "date_". (The dates are in the format "YYYY-MM-DD", e.g. "1995-12-01".) How can I add or subtract "1 month" from this date, to get "1996-01-01" or " "1995-11-01". --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
