as.POSIXct_fast: Faster date transformation

Description

Based on the trick that often dates are repeated in a column, we make date transformation faster by computing date transformation only on uniques.

Usage

as.POSIXct_fast(x, ...)

Value

as.POSIXct and as.POSIXlt return an object of the appropriate class. If tz was specified, as.POSIXlt will give an appropriate "tzone" attribute. Date-times known to be invalid will be returned as NA.

Arguments

x

An object to be converted

...

other argument to pass to as.POSIXct
