Hello,
I have a list of dates in which I am going use for a time series analysis. I want to break these dates up into 2 week intervals and count the number of times a date appears in this interval. For example from Nov. 19, 2000 to Dec 2 ,2000 with the data listed below I want to return
Start_date              Count2000/11/19 4
Date: 2000/11/20 2000/11/21  2000/11/19 2000/11/29
My first approach was toa vector of the two week time periods (like below) and then match my dates with the intervals. But this did not work.
DataInterval<-rep(NA, 316)
TwoWeekint<-function(date) { for (i in 1:316) new.day<- i*14 DataInterval[i]<-as.interval(new_period(days=new.day), ymd("2000-11-17"))
 }
Thanks!

(I must note I was very much tempted to ignore this post because of the mail address.)

See if this helps:

findInterval(as.Date("2000-11-01")+0:60,
seq(from =as.Date("2000-11-20"), to=as.Date("2000-12-31"), by="2 week")
            )
