Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Produce random dates within a particular range of possibilities

1 2	sample_date(year_min, year_max = year_min, month_min = 1, month_max = 12, day_min = 1, day_max = 31, n, .p = null_predicate, quiet = FALSE)

`year_min`	Integer. Minimum year (Required)
`year_max`	Integer. Maximum year
`month_min`	Integer. Minimum month
`month_max`	Integer. Maximum month
`day_min`	Integer. Minimum day
`day_max`	Integer. Maximum day
`n`	Integer. Number of permuations to return. (Required)
`.p`	An optional `predicate` function taking a year, month, and day as its parameters, and returning TRUE if the date is valid. Allows one to construct complex date restrictions, such as only generating dates that are Mondays, etc.
`quiet`	Boolean. Display messages when regenerating illegal dates?

A vector of POSIXct values

set.seed(100)
# Generate random dates within the year 1930
sample_date(1930, n = 5)

# Dates in March 1930
sample_date(1930, month_min = 3, month_max = 3, n = 5)

# Dates between a given range
sample_date(year_min = 1930, year_max = 1931, day_min = 25, day_max = 31, n = 5)

# Use a predicate function to return only Mondays
sample_date(1930, n = 5, .p = is_monday)
