dear All, i'm trying to calculate the number of Mondays, Tuesdays, etc that each month within a date range has. I have time series data that spans 60 months and i want to calculate the number of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wed, etc of each month. (I want to control for weekly seasonality but my data is monthly). Is there an easy way to to this in R? or is there a package i could use? i did some quick search in the help files and R sites but could not find any answers.
The chron package has a wide assortment of functions of that sort. Looks like Mondays would be 1 > day.of.week(1,15,2009) # a Thursday [1] 4 > day.of.week(1,18,2009) #Saturday [1] 0 > day.of.week(1,17,2009) #Sunday [1] 6
