strptime - Subsetting Data based on a date range in R -


update

i've managed load data of first 1000000 rows using following code:

newfile <- read.table("course_4_proj_1.txt", header=true, sep=";", na.strings = "?", nrows= 1000000, stringsasfactors=true)

this head() returns, fyi

head(newfile)         date     time global_active_power global_reactive_power voltage global_intensity 1 16/12/2006 17:24:00               4.216                 0.418  234.84             18.4 2 16/12/2006 17:25:00               5.360                 0.436  233.63             23.0 3 16/12/2006 17:26:00               5.374                 0.498  233.29             23.0 4 16/12/2006 17:27:00               5.388                 0.502  233.74             23.0 5 16/12/2006 17:28:00               3.666                 0.528  235.68             15.8 6 16/12/2006 17:29:00               3.520                 0.522  235.02             15.0   sub_metering_1 sub_metering_2 sub_metering_3 1              0              1             17 2              0              1             16 3              0              2             17 4              0              1             17 5              0              1             17 6              0              2             17

now need subset because need use data dates 2007-02-01 , 2007-02-02. think need convert date , time variables date/time classes in r using strptime() , as.date() functions, i'm not clear on how that. simplest/cleanest way this?

if size/memory not issue, 

newfile <- read.table("course_4_proj_1.txt", header=true, sep=";", na.strings = "?", nrows= 1000000,      stringsasfactors=false) newfile$datetime <- paste(newfile$date, newfile$time),  newfile$datetime <- as.date(newfile$datetime, format = "%d/%m/%y %h:%m:%s")

if computer weak , puny, can add packages, consider data.table package

library(data.table) newfile <- fread("course_4_proj_1.txt", na.strings = "?")  newfile[,datetime := as.date(paste(date, time), format = "%d/%m/%y %h:%m:%s")]

and there further optimizations 1 can use. found answers here useful.

one can subset data.frame in normal way. here method using dplyr

library(dplyr) subsetted <- filter(newfile, datetime >= as.date("2006-02-01 00:00:00"), datetime < as.date("2006-02-03 00:00:00"))

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
