The aweek package is a lightweight solution for converting dates to weeks that can start on any weekday. It implements the aweek class, which can easily be converted to date and weeks that start on different days.
When you work with aweek, you will want to make sure that you set the default
week_start
variable to indicate which day of the week your weeks should
begin. This can be done with set_week_start()
. It will ensure that all of
your weeks will begin on the same day.
get_week_start()
returns the global week_start option
set_week_start()
sets the global week_start option
This conversion is the simplest because dates are unambiguous.
date2week()
converts dates, datetimes, and characters that look like dates to weeks
as.aweek()
is a wrapper around date2week()
that converts dates and datetimes
If you have separate columns for week numbers and years, then this is the
option for you. This allows you to specify a different start for each week
element using the start
argument.
get_aweek()
converts week numbers (with years and days) to aweek objects.
get_date()
converts week numbers (with years and days) to Dates.
as.aweek()
converts ISO-week formatted strings to aweek objects.
week2date()
converts ISO-week formatted strings to Date.
This conversion is simple for aweek objects since their week_start is unambiguous
as.POSIXlt() converts to POSIXlt.
You can strip the week_start attribute of the aweek object by converting to
a character with as.character()
trunc()
removes the weekday element of the ISO week string.
factor_aweek()
does the same thing as trunc(), but will create a factor
with levels spanning all the weeks from the first week to the last week.
Useful for creating tables with zero counts for unobserved weeks.
change_week_start()
will change the week_start attribute and adjust the
weeks accordingly so that the dates will always be consistent.
When you combine aweek objects, they must have the same week_start attribute. Characters can be added to aweek objects as long as they are in ISO week format and you can safely assume that they start on the same weekday. Dates are trivial to add to aweek objects. See the aweek documentation for details.

The as.aweek()
will coerce character, dates, and datetime objects
to aweek objects. Dates are trivial to convert to weeks because there is
only one correct way to convert them with any given week_start
.
There is a bit of nuance to be aware of when converting characters to aweek objects:
The characters must be correctly formatted as YYYY-Www-d
, where YYYY
is the year relative to the week, Www is the week number (ww) prepended
by a W, and d (optional) is the day of the week from 1 to 7 where 1
represents the week_start. This means that characters formatted as
dates will be rejected.
By default, the week_start
and start
parameters are identical. If
your data contains heterogeneous weeks (e.g. some dates will have the
week start on Monday and some will have the week start on Sunday), then
you should use the start
parameter to reflect this. Internally, the
weeks will first be converted to dates with their respective starts and
then converted back to weeks, unified under the week_start
parameter.
an aweek object
factors are first converted to characters before they are converted to aweek objects.

Weeks differ in their start dates depending on context. The ISO 8601 standard specifies that Monday starts the week (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date) while the US CDC uses Sunday as the start of the week (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/MMWR_Week_overview.pdf). For example, MSF has varying start dates depending on country in order to better coordinate response.
While there are packages that provide conversion for ISOweeks and epiweeks, these do not provide seamless conversion from dates to epiweeks with non-standard start dates. This package provides a lightweight utility to be able to convert each day.
date2week()
an aweek object which represents dates in
YYYY-Www-d
format where YYYY
is the year (associated with the week,
not necessarily the day), Www
is the week number prepended by a "W" that
ranges from 01-53 and d
is the day of the week from 1 to 7 where 1
represents the first day of the week (as defined by the week_start
attribute).
week2date()
a Date object.
date2week()
will initially convert the input with as.POSIXlt()
and
use that to calculate the week. If the user supplies character input, it
is expected that the input will be of the format yyyy-mm-dd unless the
user explicitly passes the "format" parameter to as.POSIXlt()
. If the
input is not in yyyy-mm-dd and the format parameter is not passed,
date2week()
will result in an error.

an aweek object |
an aweek object that inherits from factor()
with levels that span
the range of the weeks in the object.
when factored aweek objects are combined with other aweek objects, they are converted back to characters.
w <- get_aweek(week = (1:2) * 5, year = 2019, day = c(7, 1)) w wf <- factor_aweek(w) wf # factors are destroyed if combined with aweek objects c(w, wf)

These are vectorized functions that take integer vectors and return Date or an aweek objects, making it easier to convert bare weeks to dates.

The aweek class is a character or factor in the format YYYY-Www(-d) with a "week_start" attribute containing an integer specifying which day of the ISO 8601 week each week should begin.

The ISO 8601 standard specifies that Monday starts the week (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date) while the US CDC uses Sunday as the start of the week (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/MMWR_Week_overview.pdf). For example, MSF has varying start dates depending on country in order to better coordinate response.
While there are packages that provide conversion for ISOweeks and epiweeks, these do not provide seamless conversion from dates to epiweeks with non-standard start dates. This package provides a lightweight utility to be able to convert each day.
Week numbers are calculated in three steps:
Find the day of the week, relative to the week_start (d). The day of the
week (d) relative to the week start (s) is calculated using the ISO week
day (i) via d = 1L + ((i + (7L - s)) %% 7L)
.
Find the date that represents midweek (m). The date that represents
midweek is found by subtracting the day of the week (d) from 4 and
adding that number of days to the current date: m = date + (4 - d)
.
Find the week number (w) by counting the number of days since 1 January
to (m), and use integer division by 7: w = 1L + ((m - yyyy-01-01) %/% 7)
For the weeks around 1 January, the year is determined by the week number. If the month is January, but the week number is 52 or 53, then the year for the week (YYYY) is the calendar year (yyyy) minus 1. However, if the month is December, but the week number is 1, then the year for the week (YYYY) is the calendar year (yyyy) plus 1.
The aweek object is a character vector in either the precise ISO week
format (YYYY-Www-d) or imprecise ISO week format (YYYY-Www) with
a week_start
attribute indicating which ISO week day the week begins.
The precise ISO week format can be broken down like this:
YYYY is an ISO week-numbering year, which is the year relative to the week, not the day. For example, the date 2016-01-01 would be represented as 2015-W53-5 (ISO week), because while the date is in the year 2016, the week is still part of the final week of 2015.
Www is the week number, prefixed by the character "W". This ranges from 01 to 52 or 53, depending on whether or not the year has 52 or 53 weeks.
d is a digit representing the weekday where 1 represents the first
day of the week and 7 represents the last day of the week. #'
The attribute week_start
represents the first day of the week as an ISO
week day. This defaults to 1, which is Monday. If, for example, an aweek
object represented weeks starting on Friday, then the week_start
attribute would be 5, which is Friday of the ISO week.
Imprecise formats (YYYY-Www) are equivalent to the first day of the week. For example, 2015-W53 and 2015-W53-1 will be identical when converted to date.
an object of class aweek
when combining aweek objects together, you must ensure that they have
the same week_start attribute. You can use change_week_start()
to adjust
it.

This is a convenience wrapper around options()
and getOption()
, which
allows users to input both numeric and character week start values
set_week_start(x = 1L) get_week_start(w = NULL)
set_week_start(x = 1L) get_week_start(w = NULL)
x |
a character or integer specifying the day of the week for conversion between dates and weeks. |
w |
if |
for set_week_start
, the old value of week_start
is returned,
invisibly. For get_week_start
, the current value of week_start
is
returned.
