Make Dealing with Dates a Little Easier
Functions to work with date-times and time-spans: fast and user
friendly parsing of date-time data, extraction and updating of components of
a date-time (years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds), algebraic
manipulation on date-time and time-span objects. The 'lubridate' package has
a consistent and memorable syntax that makes working with dates easy and
fun.

lubridate
Date-time data can be frustrating to work with in R. R commands for date-times are generally unintuitive and change depending on the type of date-time object being used. Moreover, the methods we use with date-times must be robust to time zones, leap days, daylight savings times, and other time related quirks, and R lacks these capabilities in some situations. Lubridate makes it easier to do the things R does with date-times and possible to do the things R does not. Specifically, lubridate provides:
a set of intuitive date-time related functions that work the same way for all common date-time classes (including those from
chron
,timeDate
,zoo
,xts
,its
,tis
,timeSeries
,fts
, andtseries
)quick and easy parsing of date-times:
ymd()
,dmy()
,mdy()
, ...simple functions to extract and modify components of a date-time, such as years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds:
year()
,month()
,day()
, ...helper functions for handling time zones:
with_tz()
,force_tz()
Lubridate also expands the type of mathematical operations that can be performed with date-time objects. It introduces three new time span classes borrowed from http://joda.org.
durations, which measure the exact amount of time between two points
periods, which accurately track clock times despite leap years, leap seconds, and day light savings time
intervals, a protean summary of the time information between two points
