[R] Factor analysis and time as an offset variable

[Jeff Newmiller]

That step is easy, but context is hard. You really need to provide a reproducible example. There are many models, many analysis tools,  and many timescales to choose from. In fact, this could easily be mistaken for a question about statistics (not really on-topic here) since you have failed to indicate what any of your constraints or decisions in those areas are. 

It may be as simple as you not knowing about date or POSIXt arithmetic  (see ?DateTimeClasses).
