Date Class Altered After Calling R.ts - r

I have a dataframe with 2 columns: a date column and an observation column.
Here is the head:
I call ts with this line of code
data_grp_ts = ts(data_grp, frequency = 52)
And when I look at the head of the resulting time series, the date is gone:
There is 2 years of data in the data frame (104 observations) and the resulting time series index is unexpected
index(data_grp_ts)
Is there something wrong with the original date format?
Thanks in advance

How to convert a weekly dataset into a time series in R

i have a WEEKLY dataset that start on 1986.01.03 and end on 2022-10-07.
The problem is when I forecast the time series with Arima +garch, because the date in T0 is wrong, i.e. 1975 enter image description here.
The function that I used to convert the dataset into time series is here, but I think that the problem is here, since it doesn't take on the right date.
FutureWeekly= ts(WeeklyFuture$FutureWeekly, start= c(1986,1), end = c(2022,10), frequency = 52)
does anyone know how to convert a weekly dataset to time series other than this?
There are the first rows of my dataset and then I have to transform that into returns (diff(log(FutureWeekly) to do the ARMA+GARCH
enter image description here
Try this:
futures<-c(WeeklyFuture$FutureWeekly) #convert to vector
FutureWeekly= ts(futures, start= c(1986,1,10), end = c(1986,3,7), frequency = 52) #add day of week ending on
One of the things ts() demands is a vector of values. I think it might also be easier for ts() to convert the data if it was able to see the 7-day increments.
Assuming you have full un-broken weekly data for the entire period, I think these two things will solve the problem.

Data frames and datetimes [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Extracting time from POSIXct
(7 answers)
Closed 8 months ago.
I have a dataset that I’m working with and I’m trying to change the format of my time column. The current format reads like this, example: “2022-05-23 23:06:58”, I’m trying to change this to only show me the hour times and erase the dates.
Other info: I want to make this change within my data frame, not just random times. I want to change over 100,000 rows so I need a function or solution that will do so. Tidyverse, Lubridate, Format, etc. Thank you guys.
Edit: There was one thing I may not have articulated fully, I wanted to keep the exact time and nothing else. so ‘23:48:07 would’ be how I’m looking for it not just the our. I need it so I can eventually subtract the time passed between two columns. You get me?
Try this
for the first question here is the code to convert to the hour of the day
your_time<-format(as.POSIXct(your_time), format = "%H:%M:%S")
#which gives "23" hours of the day
Since you want to apply on a large dataset we use this below
large_df%>%
mutate(Hour = format(as.POSIXct(Datetime), format ="%H:%M:%S"))
where the large_df is your large dataset worth over 100,000 records
The mutate will open another column for the result which is named the Hour column
and the Datetime is the DateTime column in your large_df dataset
Is the time as a string ok? Cause then you can use substr to extract the hour and minutes like so:
time <- c("2022-05-23 23:02:58", "2022-05-23 13:52:58", "2022-05-23 03:31:58", "2022-05-23 09:09:58")
n <- nchar(time)
hour <- substr(time, n - 7, n - 3)
Just time with your 100.000 row time column
library(data.table)
hour("2022-05-23 23:06:58") # 23

My data does not convert to time series in R

My data contains several measurements in one day. It is stored in CSV-file and looks like this:
enter image description here
The V1 column is factor type, so I'm adding a extra column which is date-time -type: vd$Vdate <- as_datetime(vd$V1) :
enter image description here
Then I'm trying to convert the vd-data into time series: vd.ts<- ts(vd, frequency = 365)
But then the dates are gone:
enter image description here
I just cannot get it what I am doing wrong! Could someone help me, please.
Your dates are gone because you need to build the ts dataframe from your variables (V1, ... V7) disregarding the date field and your ts command will order R to structure the dates.
Also, I noticed that you have what is seems like hourly data, so you need to provide the frequency that is appropriate to your time not 365. Considering what you posted your frequency seems to be a bit odd. I recommend finding a way to establish the frequency correctly. For example, if I have hourly data for 365 days of the year then I have a frequency of 365.25*24 (0.25 for the leap years).
So the following is just as an example, it still won't work properly with what I see (it is limited view of your dataset so I am not sure 100%)
# Build ts data (univariate)
vs.ts <- ts(vd$V1, frequency = 365, start = c(2019, 4)
# check to see if it is structured correctly
print(vd.ts, calendar = T)
Finally my time series is working properly. I used
ts <- zoo(measurements, date_times)
and I found out that the date_times was supposed to be converted with as_datetime() as otherwise they were character type. The measurements are converted into data.frame type.

How to get monthly time series cross sectional into zoo using R

I want to get a panel data set into zoo so that it catches both month and year. My data set looks like this.
and the data can be downloaded from HERE.
The best way I could do is,
dat<-read.csv("dat_lag.csv")
zdat <- read.zoo(dat, format="%d/%m/%Y")
However, I could do this by including column 1- Date and column 4- Day in my data set. Is there any clever way to get both month and year into zoo using R without including the Date and Day columns? Thanks, in advance for any help.

Time series (xts) strptime; ONLY month and day

I've been trying to do a time series on my dataframe, and I need to strip times from my csv. This is what I've got:
campbell <-read.csv("campbell.csv")
campbell$date = strptime(campbell$date, "%m/%d")
campbell.ts <- xts(campbell[,-1],order.by=campbell[,1])
First, what I'm trying to do is just get xts to strip the dates as "xx/xx" meaning just the month and day. I have no year for my data. When I try that second line of code and call upon the date column, it converts it to "2013-xx-xx." These months and days have no year associated with them, and I can't figure out how to get rid of the 2013. (The csv file I'm calling on has the dates in the format "9/30,10/1...etc.)
Secondly, once I try and make a time series (the third line), I am unsure what the "order.by" command is calling on. What am I indexing?
Any help??
Thanks!
For strptime, you need to provide the full date, i.e. day, month and year. In case, any of these is not provided, current ones are assumed from the system's time and appended to the incomplete date. So, if you want to retain your date format as you have read it, first make a copy of that and store in a temporary variable and then use strptime over campbell$date to convert into R readable date format. Since, year is not a concern to you, you need not bother about it even though it is automatically appended by strptime.
campbell <-read.csv("campbell.csv")
date <- campbell$date
campbell$date <- strptime(campbell$date, "%m/%d")
Secondly, what you are doing by 'the third line' (xts(campbell[,-1],order.by=campbell[,1])) command is that, your are telling to order all the data of campbell except the first column (campbell[,-1]) according to the index provided by the time data in the first column of campbell (campbell[,1]). So, it would only work given the date is in the first column.
After ordering the data according to time-series, you can replace back the campbell$date column with date to get back the date format you wanted (although here, first you have to order date also like shown below)
date <- xts(date, order.by=campbell[,1]) # assuming campbell$date is campbell[,1]
campbell.ts <- xts(campbell[,-1], order.by=campbell[,1])
campbell.ts <- cbind(date, campbell.ts)
format(as.Date(campbell$dat, "%m/%d/%Y"), "%m/%d")
