HolidayCalendar

HolidayCalendar

is an option that specifies the holiday calendar schedule in business day functions.

Details

  • HolidayCalendar is {"UnitedStates","Default"} by default.
  • HolidayCalendar can be set to either one of the prebuilt calendars contained in the CalendarData paclet, or to a custom calendar by specifying a set of holiday schedules.
  • The basic unit of a holiday schedule is a holiday criterion, a three-element list of tests in the form of pure functions that are to be applied to the year, month, and day of a given calendar, respectively. A date is a holiday if all three tests return true when applied to it.
  • A separate set of tests must be specified for each calendar system in which holidays are celebrated.
  • Available calendar systems are:
  • "Gregorian"Gregorian solar calendar
    "Julian"Julian solar calendar
    "Jewish"Jewish lunisolar calendar
    "Islamic"Islamic lunar calendar (based on Mecca lunations)
    "Ecclesiastical"calendar for moveable feasts in the Roman Catholic liturgy
