Dear R community
I would like to perform some statistical analysis on a data set containing
the following items: date, time, index of observation and various
covariates.
The date and time are originally extracted in the following format:
dd.mm.yyyy ?and hh:mm:ss respectively. R and more precisely the function
read.table() seems to read the data properly. In a second step, I would like
to sort and subset the data according to daytime, day of the week, month,
season but I get into trouble when trying to use the built-in functions with
this format.
Which is the most convenient date and time format in R to perform such kind
of work?
Is there any specific, powerful and well documented package containing
various date and time functions?
Many thanks in advance
Best regards
