How to subset data by specific hours of interest? - r

I have a dataset of temperature values taken at specific datetimes across five locations. For whatever reason, sometimes the readings are every hour, and some every four hours. Another issue is that when the time changed as a result of daylight savings, the readings are off by one hour. I am interested in the readings taken every four hours and would like to subset these by day and night to ultimately get daily and nightly mean temperatures.
To summarise, the readings I am interested in are either:
0800, 1200, 1600 =day
2000, 0000, 0400 =night
Recordings between 0800-1600 and 2000-0400 each day should be averaged.
During daylight savings, the equivalent times are:
0900, 1300, 1700 =day
2100, 0100, 0500 =night
Recordings between 0900-1700 and 2100-0500 each day should be averaged.
In the process, I am hoping to subset by site.
There are also some NA values or blank cells which should be ignored.
So far, I tried to subset by one hour of interest just to see if it worked, but haven't got any further than that. Any tips on how to subset by a series of times of interest? Thanks!
temperature <- read.csv("SeaTemperatureData.csv",
stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
temperature <- subset(temperature, select=-c(X)) #remove last column that contains comments, not needed
temperature$Date.Time < -as.POSIXct(temperature$Date.Time,
format="%d/%m/%Y %H:%M",
tz="Pacific/Auckland")
#subset data by time, we only want to include temperatures recorded at certain times
temperature.goat <- subset(temperature, Date.Time==c('01:00:00'), select=c("Goat.Island"))

One possible solution is to extract hours from your DateTime variable, then filter for particular hours of interest.
Here a fake example over 4 days:
library(lubridate)
df <- data.frame(DateTime = seq(ymd_hms("2020-02-01 00:00:00"), ymd_hms("2020-02-05 00:00:00"), by = "hour"),
Value = sample(1:100,97, replace = TRUE))
DateTime Value
1 2020-02-01 00:00:00 99
2 2020-02-01 01:00:00 51
3 2020-02-01 02:00:00 44
4 2020-02-01 03:00:00 49
5 2020-02-01 04:00:00 60
6 2020-02-01 05:00:00 56
Now, you can extract hours with hour function of lubridate and subset for the desired hour:
library(lubridate)
subset(df, hour(DateTime) == 5)
DateTime Value
6 2020-02-01 05:00:00 56
30 2020-02-02 05:00:00 31
54 2020-02-03 05:00:00 65
78 2020-02-04 05:00:00 80
EDIT: Getting mean of each sites per subset of hours
Per OP's request in comments, the question is to calcualte the mean of values for various sites for different period of times.
Basically, you want to have two period per days, one from 8:00 to 17:00 and the other one from 18:00 to 7:00.
Here, a more elaborated example based on the previous one:
df <- data.frame(DateTime = seq(ymd_hms("2020-02-01 00:00:00"), ymd_hms("2020-02-05 00:00:00"), by = "hour"),
Site1 = sample(1:100,97, replace = TRUE),
Site2 = sample(1:100,97, replace = TRUE))
DateTime Site1 Site2
1 2020-02-01 00:00:00 100 6
2 2020-02-01 01:00:00 9 49
3 2020-02-01 02:00:00 86 12
4 2020-02-01 03:00:00 34 55
5 2020-02-01 04:00:00 76 29
6 2020-02-01 05:00:00 41 1
....
So, now you can do the following to label each time point as daily or night, then group by this category for each day and calculate the mean of each individual sites using summarise_at:
library(lubridate)
library(dplyr)
df %>% mutate(Date = date(DateTime),
Hour= hour(DateTime),
Category = ifelse(between(hour(DateTime),8,17),"Daily","Night")) %>%
group_by(Date, Category) %>%
summarise_at(vars(c(Site1,Site2)), ~ mean(., na.rm = TRUE))
# A tibble: 9 x 4
# Groups: Date [5]
Date Category Site1 Site2
<date> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2020-02-01 Daily 56.9 63.1
2 2020-02-01 Night 58.9 46.6
3 2020-02-02 Daily 54.5 47.6
4 2020-02-02 Night 36.9 41.7
5 2020-02-03 Daily 42.3 56.9
6 2020-02-03 Night 44.1 55.9
7 2020-02-04 Daily 54.3 50.4
8 2020-02-04 Night 54.8 34.3
9 2020-02-05 Night 75 16
Does it answer your question ?

Aggregating daily data to weekly, ending today

I'm currently building some charts of covid-related data....my script goes out and downloads most recent data and goes from there. I wind up with dataframes that look like
head(NMdata)
Date state positiveIncrease totalTestResultsIncrease
1 2020-05-19 NM 158 4367
2 2020-05-18 NM 81 4669
3 2020-05-17 NM 195 4126
4 2020-05-16 NM 159 4857
5 2020-05-15 NM 139 4590
6 2020-05-14 NM 152 4722
I've been aggregating to weekly data using the tq_transmute function from tidyquant.
NMweeklyPos <- NMdata %>% tq_transmute(select = positiveIncrease, mutate_fun = apply.weekly, FUN=sum)
This works, but it aggregates on week of the year, with weeks starting on Sunday.
head(NMweeklyPos)
Date positiveIncrease
<dttm> <int>
1 2020-03-08 00:00:00 0
2 2020-03-15 00:00:00 13
3 2020-03-22 00:00:00 44

5 2020-04-05 00:00:00 306
6 2020-04-12 00:00:00 631
So for instance if I ran it today (which happens to be a Wednesday) my last entry is a partial week with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
tail(NMweeklyPos)
Date positiveIncrease
<dttm> <int>
1 2020-04-19 00:00:00 624
2 2020-04-26 00:00:00 862
3 2020-05-03 00:00:00 1072
4 2020-05-10 00:00:00 1046
5 2020-05-17 00:00:00 1079
6 2020-05-19 00:00:00 239
For purposes of my chart this winds up being a small value, and so I have been discarding the partial weeks at the end, but that means I'm throwing out the most recent data.
I would prefer the throw out a partial week from the start of the dataset and have the aggregation automatically use weeks that end on whatever day the script is being run. So if I ran it today (Wednesday) it would aggregate on weeks ending Wednesday so that I had the most current data included...I could drop the partial week from the beginning of the data. But tomorrow it would choose weeks ending Thursday, etc. And I don't want to have to hardcode the week end day and change it each time.
How can I go about achieving that?
Using lubridate, the below code will find what day of the week it is and define that day as the floor for each week.
Hope this helps!
library(lubridate)
library(dplyr)
end = as.Date("2020-04-14")
data = data.frame(
date = seq.Date(as.Date("2020-01-01"), end, by = "day"),
val = 1
)
# get the day of the week
weekday = wday(end)
# using the floor_date function we can use todays date to determine what day of the week will be our floor
data%>%
mutate(week = floor_date(date, "week", week_start = weekday))%>%
group_by(week)%>%
summarise(total = sum(val))

Group by with summarise in date difference in R

I am trying to use group_by and then summarise using date difference calculation. I am not sure if its a runtime error or something wrong in what I am doing. Sometimes when I run the code I get the output as days and other times as seconds. I am not sure what is causing this change. I am not changing dataset or codes. The dataset I am using is huge (2,304,433 rows and 40 columns). Both the times, the output value (digits) are the same but only the name changes (days to secs). I would like to see the output in days.
This is the code that I am using:
data %>%
group_by(PRODUCT,PERSON_ID) %>%
summarise(Freq = n(),
Revenue = max(TOTAL_AMT + 0.000001/QUANTITY),
No_Days = (max(ORDER_DT) - min(ORDER_DT) + 1)/n())
This is the output.
Can anyone please help me on this?
Use difftime() You might need to specify the units.
set.seed(314)
data <- data.frame(PRODUCT = sample(1:10, size = 10000, replace = TRUE),
PERSON_ID = sample(1:10, size = 10000, replace = TRUE),
ORDER_DT = as.POSIXct(as.Date('2019/01/01') + sample(-300:+300, size = 10000, replace = TRUE)))
require(dplyr)
data %>%
group_by(PRODUCT,PERSON_ID) %>%
summarise(Freq = n(),
start = min(ORDER_DT),
end = max(ORDER_DT)) %>%
mutate(No_Days = (as.double(difftime(end, start, units = "days"), units = "days")+1)/Freq)
gives:
PRODUCT PERSON_ID Freq start end No_Days

# ... with 90 more rows
Why is the value devided by n()?
Simple as.integer(max(ORDER_DT) - min(ORDER_DT)) should work, but if it doesn't then please be more specific and update me with more information.
Also while working with datetime values it's good to know lubridate library

Finding each time of daily max variable in climate data

I have a large dataset over many years which has several variables, but the one I am interested in is wind speed and dateTime. I want to find the time of the max wind speed for every day in the data set. I have hourly data in Posixct format, with WS as a numeric with occasional NAs. Below is a short data set that should hopefully illustrate my point, however my dateTime wasn't working out to be hourly data, but it provides enough for a sample.
dateTime <- seq(as.POSIXct("2011-01-01 00:00:00", tz = "GMT"),
as.POSIXct("2011-01-29 23:00:00", tz = "GMT"),
by = 60*24)
WS <- sample(0:20,1798,rep=TRUE)
WD <- sample(0:390,1798,rep=TRUE)
Temp <- sample(0:40,1798,rep=TRUE)
df <- data.frame(dateTime,WS,WD,Temp)
df$WS[WS>15] <- NA
I have previously tried creating a new column with just a posix date (minus time) to allow for day isolation, however all the things I have tried have only returned a shortened data frame with date and WS (aggregate, splitting, xts). Aggregate was only one that didn't do this, however, it gave me 23:00:00 as a constant time which isn't correct.
I have looked at How to calculate daily means, medians, from weather variables data collected hourly in R?, https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/7268/how-to-aggregate-by-minute-data-for-a-week-into-hourly-means and others but none have answered this question, or the solutions have not returned an ideal result.
I need to compare the results of this analysis with another data frame, so hence the reason I need the actual time when the max wind speed occurred for each day in the dataset. I have a feeling there is a simple solution, however, this has me frustrated.
A dplyr solution may be:
library(dplyr)
df %>%
mutate(date = as.Date(dateTime)) %>%
left_join(
df %>%
mutate(date = as.Date(dateTime)) %>%
group_by(date) %>%
summarise(max_ws = max(WS, na.rm = TRUE)) %>%
ungroup(),
by = "date"
) %>%
select(-date)
# dateTime WS WD Temp max_ws
# 1 2011-01-01 00:00:00 NA 313 2 15
# 2 2011-01-01 00:24:00 7 376 1 15
# 3 2011-01-01 00:48:00 3 28 28 15
# 4 2011-01-01 01:12:00 15 262 24 15
# 5 2011-01-01 01:36:00 1 149 34 15
# 6 2011-01-01 02:00:00 4 319 33 15
# 7 2011-01-01 02:24:00 15 280 22 15
# 8 2011-01-01 02:48:00 NA 110 23 15
# 9 2011-01-01 03:12:00 12 93 15 15
# 10 2011-01-01 03:36:00 3 5 0 15
Dee asked for: "I want to find the time of the max wind speed for every day in the data set." Other answers have calculated the max(WS) for every day, but not at which hour that occured.
So I propose the following solution with dyplr:
library(dplyr)
set.seed(12345)
dateTime <- seq(as.POSIXct("2011-01-01 00:00:00", tz = "GMT"),
as.POSIXct("2011-01-29 23:00:00", tz = "GMT"),
by = 60*24)
WS <- sample(0:20,1738,rep=TRUE)
WD <- sample(0:390,1738,rep=TRUE)
Temp <- sample(0:40,1738,rep=TRUE)
df <- data.frame(dateTime,WS,WD,Temp)
df$WS[WS>15] <- NA
df %>%
group_by(Date = as.Date(dateTime)) %>%
mutate(Hour = hour(dateTime),
Hour_with_max_ws = Hour[which.max(WS)])
I want to highlight out, that if there are several hours with the same maximal windspeed (in the example below: 15), only the first hour with max(WS) will be shown as result, though the windspeed 15 was reached on that date at the hours 0, 3, 4, 21 and 22! So you might need a more specific logic.
For the sake of completeness (and because I like the concise code) here is a "one-liner" using data.table:
library(data.table)
setDT(df)[, max.ws := max(WS, na.rm = TRUE), by = as.IDate(dateTime)][]
dateTime WS WD Temp max.ws
1: 2011-01-01 00:00:00 NA 293 22 15
2: 2011-01-01 00:24:00 15 55 14 15
3: 2011-01-01 00:48:00 NA 186 24 15
4: 2011-01-01 01:12:00 4 300 22 15
5: 2011-01-01 01:36:00 0 120 36 15

R : how to get the rolling mean of a variable over the last few days but only at a given hour?

Consider this
time <- seq(ymd_hms("2014-02-24 23:00:00"), ymd_hms("2014-06-25 08:32:00"), by="hour")
group <- rep(LETTERS[1:20], each = length(time))
value <- sample(-10^3:10^3,length(time), replace=TRUE)
df2 <- data.frame(time,group,value)
str(df2)
> head(df2)
time group value
1 2014-02-24 23:00:00 A 246
2 2014-02-25 00:00:00 A -261
3 2014-02-25 01:00:00 A 628
4 2014-02-25 02:00:00 A 429
5 2014-02-25 03:00:00 A -49
6 2014-02-25 04:00:00 A -749
I would like to create a variable that contains, for each group, the rolling mean of value
over the last 5 days (not including the current observation)
only considering observations that fall at the exact same hour as the current observation.
In other words:
At time 2014-02-24 23:00:00, df2['rolling_mean_same_hour'] contains the mean of the values of value observed at 23:00:00 during the last 5 days in the data (not including 2014-02-24 of course).
I would like to do that in either dplyr or data.table. I confess having no ideas how to do that.
Any ideas?
Many thanks!
You can calculate the rollmean() with your data grouped by the group variable and hour of the time variable, normally the rollmean() will include the current observation, but you can use shift() function to exclude the current observation from the rollmean:
library(data.table); library(zoo)
setDT(df2)
df2[, .(rolling_mean_same_hour = shift(
rollmean(value, 5, na.pad = TRUE, align = 'right'),
n = 1,
type = 'lag'),
time), .(hour(time), group)]
# hour group rolling_mean_same_hour time
# 1: 23 A NA 2014-02-24 23:00:00
# 2: 23 A NA 2014-02-25 23:00:00
# 3: 23 A NA 2014-02-26 23:00:00
# 4: 23 A NA 2014-02-27 23:00:00
# 5: 23 A NA 2014-02-28 23:00:00

summarize by time interval not working

I have the following data as a list of POSIXct times that span one month. Each of them represent a bike delivery. My aim is to find the average amount of bike deliveries per ten-minute interval over a 24-hour period (producing a total of 144 rows). First all of the trips need to be summed and binned into an interval, then divided by the number of days. So far, I've managed to write a code that sums trips per 10-minute interval, but it produces incorrect values. I am not sure where it went wrong.
The data looks like this:
head(start_times)
[1] "2014-10-21 16:58:13 EST" "2014-10-07 10:14:22 EST" "2014-10-20 01:45:11 EST"

length(start_times)
[1] 1747
The code looks like this:
library(lubridate)
library(dplyr)
tripduration <- floor(runif(1747) * 1000)
time_bucket <- start_times - minutes(minute(start_times) %% 10) - seconds(second(start_times))

but this is impossible because when I sum the counts
sum(test$count)
[1] 7494
I get 7494 whereas the number should be 1747
I'm not sure where I went wrong and how to simplify this code to get the same result.
I've done what I can, but I can't reproduce your issue without your data.
library(dplyr)
I created the full sequence of 10 minute blocks:
blocks.of.10mins <- data.frame(out_buckets=seq(as.POSIXct("2014/10/01 00:00"), by="10 mins", length.out=30*24*6))
Then split the start_times into the same bins. Note: I created a baseline time of midnight to force the blocks to align to 10 minute intervals. Removing this later is an exercise for the reader. I also changed one of your data points so that there was at least one example of multiple records in the same bin.
start_times <- as.POSIXct(c("2014-10-01 00:00:00", ## added
"2014-10-21 16:58:13",
"2014-10-07 10:14:22",
"2014-10-20 01:45:11",
"2014-10-17 08:16:17",
"2014-10-07 10:16:36", ## modified
"2014-10-28 17:32:34"))
trip_times <- data.frame(start_times) %>%
mutate(out_buckets = as.POSIXct(cut(start_times, breaks="10 mins")))
The start_times and all the 10 minute intervals can then be merged
trips_merged <- merge(trip_times, blocks.of.10mins, by="out_buckets", all=TRUE)
These can then be grouped by 10 minute block and counted
trips_merged %>% filter(!is.na(start_times)) %>%
group_by(out_buckets) %>%
summarise(trip_count=n())
Source: local data frame [6 x 2]
out_buckets trip_count
(time) (int)
1 2014-10-01 00:00:00 1
2 2014-10-07 10:10:00 2
3 2014-10-17 08:10:00 1
4 2014-10-20 01:40:00 1
5 2014-10-21 16:50:00 1
6 2014-10-28 17:30:00 1
Instead, if we only consider time, not date
trips_merged2 <- trips_merged
trips_merged2$out_buckets <- format(trips_merged2$out_buckets, "%H:%M:%S")
trips_merged2 %>% filter(!is.na(start_times)) %>%
group_by(out_buckets) %>%
summarise(trip_count=n())
Source: local data frame [6 x 2]
out_buckets trip_count
