What is lubridate?
lubridate makes working with dates and times considerably easier than base R alone. Functions like ymd(), mdy(), and dmy() parse dates written in different common formats without requiring a manually specified format string. It also provides clear tools for date arithmetic using durations, periods, and intervals, each handling calendar quirks like leap years slightly differently.
