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

[Veronica Andreo]

Hello Luisfo and Enrico,

Thanks for your help! I've been testing both solutions... results differ
for the same date (I changed both functions to use ISO8601). And I added
contiguous dates, to see how they handle the start-end of the week.

So, here the results:

### one example
d <- c("2010-08-21","2010-08-22","2010-08-23","2010-08-24")
iso_start_end <- function(d) {
  d <- as.Date(d)
  wday <- as.POSIXlt(d)$wday
  data.frame(date = d,
             week = format(d, "%V"),
             starts = d - wday + 1,
             ends = d + 7 - wday)
}
iso_start_end(d)

        date week     starts       ends
1 2010-08-21   33 2010-08-16 2010-08-22
*2 2010-08-22   33 2010-08-23 2010-08-29*
3 2010-08-23   34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29
4 2010-08-24   34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29

### the other example:
dd <- as.Date(strptime('2010-08-21', format="%Y-%m-%d", tz="GMT"))
ref.date <- as.Date(strptime(paste0(year(dd),"-01-01"), format="%Y-%m-%d"))
bound.dates <- ref.date + 7 * (isoweek(dd)) + c(0,6)
bound.dates
[1] "2010-08-20" "2010-08-26"

So, researching a bit more and inspired by those examples, I eventually
came up with this solution that seems to work fine... I share in case that
any other has a similar problem:

# get ISOweek for my vector of dates
week_iso<-ISOweek(d)

# vector with the format %Y-W%V-1 for start day of the ISO week
week_iso_day1 <- paste(week_iso,1, sep="-")

#  vector with the format %Y-W%V-7 for end day of the ISO week
week_iso_day7 <- paste(week_iso, 7, sep="-")

# use ISOweek2date
data.frame(date= d, week_iso = week_iso, start =
ISOweek2date(week_iso_day1), end = ISOweek2date(week_iso_day7)

        date week_iso      start        end
1 2010-08-21 2010-W33 2010-08-16 2010-08-22
2 2010-08-22 2010-W33 2010-08-16 2010-08-22
3 2010-08-23 2010-W34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29
4 2010-08-24 2010-W34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29


Thanks again for your time, ideas and help!

Best,
Vero
