| HolidayCalendars {fCalendar} | R Documentation |
A collection and description of functions and
methods dealing with holiday calendars. Included
are functions for the computation of the date of
easter and related feasts. These functions allow
the generation of holiday calendars. Included are
some utility functions to compute special dates
from n-dates, and to manage dates formatted in
the ISO-8601 integer CCYYMMDD calendar format.
Furthermore, functions are available to convert
Julian counts to formatted calendar dates and
vice versa. These are SPlus like functions.
The functions for the generation of holiday calendars are:
easter | Returns date of easter or related feasts as 'sdate'-s, |
holiday | Returns a holiday date of G7 and CH as 'sdate', |
holiday.NYSE | Computes 'timeDate' object for full-day NYSE holidays. |
The N-Day functions are:
on.or.after | Date in month that is a "n-day" on-or-after a "date", |
on.or.before | Date in month that is a "n-day" on-or-before a "date", |
nth.of.nday | The "n-th" ocurrance of a "n"day in year/month, |
last.of.nday | The last "n"day in a given year/month. |
The ISO-8601 day functions and methods are:
sjulian | Julian day counts from ISO formatted dates, |
sdate | ISO-8601 formatted dates from Julian day counts, |
sday.of.week | day of week from CCYYMMDD formatted dates, |
sleap.year | Decides if CCYYMMDD is a leap year or not, |
print | S3 Print method for objects of class sdate. |
SPlus like Functions are:
fjulian | Calculates Julian counts from different formats, |
.julian | Converts formatted calendar dates to Julian counts, |
month.day.year | Returns months, days, and years from Julian counts, |
leap.year | Deciding if a year is a leap year or not, |
day.of.week | Determines the day of week, starting with Sunday as 0. |

cc, swap |
[fjulian] - originally a numeric value denoting the century. Is now obsolete with the introduction of swap. swap
is an integer value which determines when we swap from the
19th to 20th century, by default 20, i.e. we swap 1920.
|
day |
an integer vector of day numbers, [DD]. [day.of.week] - cr vector of integer day numbers. |
fdates |
[fjulian] - a character vector of formatted Gregorian dates. |
Holiday |
the unquoted function name of an ecclestial or public holiday in the G7 countries or Switzerland, see the list below. |
jul |
[month.day.year] - vector of Julian dates (the number of days since origin). |
julians |
a numeric vector of Julian Day Counts. |
lastday |
the last day in the calendar month. |
m, d, y |
[.julian] - vector of month, day and year numbers. The years should be entered in their full four-digit form; it is assumed that two-digit years refer to the first century. |
month |
an integer vector of month numbers, [MM]. [day.of.week] - cr vector of integer month numbers. |
nday |
an integer vector with entries ranging from
0 (Sunday) to 6 (Saturday).
|
nth |
an integer vector numbering the n-th occurence. |
order |
[fjulian] - a character string, indicating the order of year, month and day. |
origin |
the origin date of the counter, in ISO-8601 date format, [CCYYMMDD]. By default Januar 1st, 1960. |
sdates |
a numeric vector of ISO-8601 formatted Gregorian dates, [CCYYMMDD]. |
shift |
a numeric value, the n-day shift. By default the shift is set to zero and the function returns the date of Easter. |
x |
an object of class "sdate". This is an integer
value or integer vector formatted as ISO-8601 CCYYMMDD.
|
year |
an integer vector of years, [CCYY]. [day.of.week] - cr vector of integer year numbers. |
... |
additional optional arguments to be passed. |
Holiday Calendar:
Easter is the central ecclestial holiday. Many other holidays
are related to this feast. The function easter computes
the dates of easter and related ecclestial holidays for the
requested year vector. holiday calculates the dates of
ecclestial or publich holidays in the G7 countries, e.g.
holiday(2003, "GoodFriday"). holidays.db is our
Data Base of World Wide Holidays. The database contains holiday
functions automatically loaded by the fBasics library at
startup time. The user can add additional holiday functions to
this data base. The information for the holiday data base were
collected from several web pages about holiday calendars.

All the holiday functions are listed in the data file holidays.R.
Additional holidays, which are not yet available there, can be added
to this data base file.
n-Day Functions:
The function on.or.after
calculates the date in a given month and year that is a n-day
ON OR AFTER a given date.
The function on.or.before
calculates the date in a given month and year that is a n-day
ON OR BEFORE a given date.
The function nth.of.nday
calculates the n-th ocurrance of a n-day in a given month and
year.
The function code{last.of.nday}
calculates the last n-day in a given month and year.
sdate Class:
"sdates" represents a class of integer formatted CCYYMMDD
ISO-8601 calendar dates.
Note, that the s* indicates "standard" or "simple" ISO-8601
date format where CC denotes the century, YY the year,
MM the month, and DD the day, e.g 20031213. This
formated was included to the fbasics library already some
years ago. It is likely that this date format will be replaced
in the near future by the new R objects of class. "Date".
easter
holiday
holiday.NYSE
return an ISO-8601 formatted calendar date CCYYMMDD, an
object of class "sdate" which represents an integer
value or vector.
on.or.after
on.or.before
nth.of.nday
last.of.nday
return like the holiday functions an ISO-8601 formatted calendar
date integer value or vector.
sjulian
sdates
sday.of.week
sleap.year
the Julian day counter returns a numeric vector of Julian day counts,
sdates returns a numeric vector of ISO-8601 formatted dates,
i.e [CCYYMMDD], the day of the week function returns a numeric vector
with entries between 0 (Sunday) and 6 (Saturday) and
the leap year function returns a logical vector with entries TRUE or
FALSE, weather the date falls in a leap year or not.
fjulian
returns a numeric vector of Julian Day Counts.
When julian is called, a vector of Julian counts corresponding
to the input values is returned. If month.day.year is called,
a list with members month, day, and year is
returned for the given Julian dates.
leap.year
returns a logical vector indicating whether the input years are leap
years or not.
day.of.week
returns a number between 0 and 6 that specifies the day of the week
of the given date; 0 refers to Sunday.
Most of the functions were written for R Version 1.5. With the new
Date Class becoming available in R 1.9.0 these functions will
undergo a revision in the near future.
