emr_date2time {naryn}

Converts date and hour to internal time format

Description

Converts date and hour to internal time format.

Usage

emr_date2time(day, month, year, hour = 0)

Arguments

day

vector of days of month in [1, 31] range

month

vector of months in [1, 12] range

year

vector of years

hour

vector of hours in [0, 23] range

Details

This function converts date and hour to internal time format. Note: the earliest valid time is 1 March 1867.

Note: if one of the arguments ('day', ...) is a vector, then the other arguments must be vectors two of identical size or scalars. Internally a data frame is built out of all the vectors or scalars before the conversion is applied. Hence rules for data frame creation apply to this function.

Value

Vector of converted times.
