Hi,
So I have a set of data, hourly temperature, where each temperature is set
up like this:

Time     Temp
1.04        8
1.08        10

etc. Where "1" corresponds to a day (say monday is "1", tuesday is "2") and
the decimal value corresponds to an the hour of the day.

I have several thousand of these readings over several months. What I would
like to do is extract daily minimum temperatures from this data set.

 Is this possible to do with R?

I'm pretty new to the use of R and have only a basic understanding of how it
all works.

One way that works best is for questions to include data in an R object. If those values are in a data.frame, dfrm, (and if they're not, then you need to work through some examples in the Introduction to R and the Import/Export Manual) then:

dput(head(dfrm, 20)) # would get a version of the data that anyone could paste into their console.

Still assuming you have this in a data.frame, perhaps:

mintemps <- with( dfrm, tapply( Temp, floor(Time) , min) )
mintemps


I appreciate any help.
