[R] get start and end date of ISO weeks giving a date as input

[Luisfo]

Dear Veronica,

Here there's a way of doing what you requested.

library("lubridate")
# your date '2010-08-21' as Date object
dd <- as.Date(strptime("2010-08-21", format="%Y-%m-%d", tz="GMT"))
# take the first day of the year as Date object, i.e. 2010-01-01 in our 
example
ref.date <- as.Date(strptime(paste0(year(dd),"-01-01"), 
format="%Y-%m-%d", tz="GMT"))
# the start and end dates
bound.dates <- ref.date + 7 * (week(dd)-1) + c(0,6)

I hope you find it useful.

Best,
