Daily Average of Time series derived from monthly data R monthdays() - r

I have a time series object ts. I have mentioned the entire object here. It has data from Jan 2013 to Dec 2017 for all years. I am trying to find the daily average value so that the value is divided by the number of days in a month.
Expected output
The first value for Jan 2013 in ts is 23770, I want the value to be 23770/31 where 31 is the number of days in Jan, second value for Feb 2013 is 23482. I want the value to be 23482/28 as 28 was the number of days in Feb 2013 and so on
Tried so far:
I know monthdays() can do this. Something like ts/monthdays() .Monthdays() returns number of days in a month. I am not able to implement it here. Read about this tapply somewhere but it is not giving me desired result, since i need values corresponding to each month year combination.

I am not able to implement it here.
I'm not sure why you couldn't. The monthdays function from the forecast package, when applied to a ts object, returns the number of days in each month of the series. The object returned is a time-series of the same dimension as the input. So you can simply divide them.
library(forecast)
ts/monthdays(ts)

How to change grouped data in ungrouped data

I have grouped data that I want to convert to ungrouped data.
year<-c(rep(2014,4),rep(2015,4))
Age<-rep(c(22,23,24,25),2)
n<-c(1,1,3,2,0,2,3,1)
mydata<-data.frame(year,Age,n)
I would like to have a dataset like the one below created from the previous one.
year Age
1 2014 22
2 2014 23
3 2014 24
4 2014 24
5 2014 24
6 2014 25
7 2014 25
8 2015 23
9 2015 23
10 2015 24
11 2015 24
12 2015 24
13 2015 25
Try
mydata[rep(1:nrow(mydata),mydata$n),]
year Age n
1 2014 22 1
2 2014 23 1
3 2014 24 3
3.1 2014 24 3
3.2 2014 24 3
4 2014 25 2
4.1 2014 25 2
6 2015 23 2
6.1 2015 23 2
7 2015 24 3
7.1 2015 24 3
7.2 2015 24 3
8 2015 25 1
Here's a tidyverse solution:
library(tidyverse)
mydata %>%
uncount(n)
which gives:
year Age
1 2014 22
2 2014 23
3 2014 24
4 2014 24
5 2014 24
6 2014 25
7 2014 25
8 2015 23
9 2015 23
10 2015 24
11 2015 24
12 2015 24
13 2015 25
You can also use tidyr syntax for this:
library(tidyr)
year<-c(rep(2014,4),rep(2015,4))
Age<-rep(c(22,23,24,25),2)
n<-c(1,1,3,2,0,2,3,1)
mydata<-data.frame(year,Age,n)
uncount(mydata, n)
#> year Age
#> 1 2014 22
#> 2 2014 23
#> 3 2014 24
#> 4 2014 24
#> 5 2014 24
#> 6 2014 25
#> 7 2014 25
#> 8 2015 23
#> 9 2015 23
#> 10 2015 24
#> 11 2015 24
#> 12 2015 24
#> 13 2015 25
But of course you shouldn't use tidyr just because it is tidyr :) An alternate view of the Tidyverse "dialect" of the R language, and its promotion by RStudio.
We can use tidyr::complete
library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)
mydata %>% group_by(year, Age) %>%
complete(n = seq_len(n)) %>%
select(-n) %>%
ungroup()
# A tibble: 14 × 2
year Age
<dbl> <dbl>
1 2014 22
2 2014 23
3 2014 24
4 2014 24
5 2014 24
6 2014 25
7 2014 25
8 2015 23
9 2015 23
10 2015 24
11 2015 24
12 2015 24
13 2015 25
14 2015 22

Why am I getting a frequency of 1 for this monthly time series data in R?

I am using R for my time series analysis and I have the following csv file that I have loaded into R:
CSV file:
I have used the zoo package to convert my data frame into a ts object:
library(zoo)
df1_ts <- as.ts(read.zoo(df1, FUN = as.yearmon))
Running:
class(df1_ts)
# [1] "mts" "ts" "matrix"`
However when I run head(df1_ts), I get the following results:
head(df1_ts)
# Time Series:
# Start = 2014
# End = 2018
# Frequency = 1
# Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
# 2014 4621 3569 4249 4593 3320 1970 2483 3474 4302 5670 5788 5570
# 2015 5747 4346 5176 5362 5360 3707 3883 5138 5568 6034 5989 5648
# 2016 5821 5164 5781 5346 5339 4743 5417 5514 5880 5899 6014 5641
# 2017 5980 5341 5890 5596 5753 5470 5589 5545 5749 5938 5864 5567
# 2018 5655 5392 5766 5268 5680 5337 5197 5714 5802 5935 5955 5637
Why am I getting Frequency=1? I am expecting the Frequency to be 12 as these are monthly data?
How can I fix this?
I have tried the following, without success:
df1_ts <- as.ts(read.zoo(df1, FUN = as.yearmon), freq=12)
The code shown in the question is creating a multivariate time series consisting of 12 series (one for each month column) whose time index is the year; however, what is wanted is a single univariate monthly series.
Using df1 shown reproducibly in the Note at the end, first convert the data.frame df1 to a matrix using transpose and then unravel this transposed matrix column by column into a single vector using c. Now we can define the ts series directly:
tt <- ts(c(t(df1[-1])), start = df1$Year[1], freq = 12)
giving:
frequency(tt)
## [1] 12
tt
## Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
## 2014 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

## 2018 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
Note
Please do not use images to show your input data as it means that anyone wanting to answer with it would need to retype it. Provide it reproducibly as R code. I have done this for you this time, changing the data to avoid typing all those numbers.
df1 <- as.data.frame(cbind(2014:2018, matrix(1:60, ncol = 12, byrow = TRUE)))
names(df1) <- c("Year", month.abb)

converting to time series using ts() in r

Good afternoon
I have a time series
v2<-c(12,13,15,17,18,12,11,12)
which run from July 1996 to October 1997, just the months between July and October
when I try to convert to time series with
v2.ts<-ts(v2, frequency=12, start=c(1996,7), end=c(1997,10))
It yields me this result
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
1996 12 13 15 17 18 12
1997 11 12 12 13 15 17 18 12 11 12
what parameters can I use to make it like:
Jul Aug Sep Oct
1996 12 13 15 17
1997 18 12 11 12
Thanks in advance for the help
A ts series must be regularly spaced but the output shown has points that are one month apart except between Oct of the first year and July of the second year so it is not of that form.
There are several packages that can represent irregularly spaced series. With the zoo package it would be done like this:
library(zoo)
z <- as.zoo(v2.ts)
z[cycle(z) %in% 7:10]
## Jul 1996 Aug 1996 Sep 1996 Oct 1996 Jul 1997 Aug 1997 Sep 1997 Oct 1997
## 12 13 15 17 18 12 11 12
If you are not looking for a time series but just a matrix with the indicated elements then:
tapply(c(v2.ts), list(floor(time(v2.ts)), cycle(v2.ts)), c)[, 7:10]
## 7 8 9 10
## 1996 12 13 15 17
## 1997 18 12 11 12

Summarising data frame using maximum counts

I have this data.frame:
counts <- data.frame(year = sort(rep(2000:2009, 12)), month = rep(month.abb,10), count = sample(1:500, 120, replace = T))
First 20 rows of data:
head(counts, 20)

Lets say I try to calculate the standard deviation of these data using the usual R code:
library(plyr)
ddply(counts, .(month), summarise, s.d. = sd(count))
month s.d.

9 May 168.9517
10 Nov 93.1370
11 Oct 167.9436
12 Sep 166.8740
This gives the standard deviation around the mean of each month. How can I get R to output standard deviation around maximum value of each month?
you want: "max of values per month and the average from this maximum value" [which is not the same as the standard deviation].
counts <- data.frame(year = sort(rep(2000:2009, 12)), month = rep(month.abb,10), count = sample(1:500, 120, replace = T))
library(data.table)
counts=data.table(counts)
counts[,mean(count-max(count)),by=month]
This question is highly vague. If you want to calculate the standard deviation of the differences to the maximum, you can use this code:
> library(plyr)
> ddply(counts, .(month), summarise, sd = sd(count - max(count)))
month sd

Time series numeric again after indexing?

I wanted to cut a quarterly time series and did the following:
cuttedts <- initialts[time(initialts) > 1984.00]
which worked inasmuch as I got all data after the first quarter of 1984. Strikingly
is.ts(initialts)
# returns TRUE
while
is.ts(cuttedts)
# returns FALSE
What did I do wrong, should I use subset? What's the best way to do this?
You can use the window function to extract a subset of a time series.
For example :
R> myts <- ts(data=1:40, start=2001, end=c(2010,4), frequency=4)
R> myts
Qtr1 Qtr2 Qtr3 Qtr4
2001 1 2 3 4
2002 5 6 7 8
2003 9 10 11 12
2004 13 14 15 16
2005 17 18 19 20
2006 21 22 23 24
2007 25 26 27 28
2008 29 30 31 32
2009 33 34 35 36
2010 37 38 39 40
And then :
R> subts <- window(myts, start=c(2005,2), end=c(2008,3))
R> subts
Qtr1 Qtr2 Qtr3 Qtr4
2005 18 19 20
2006 21 22 23 24
2007 25 26 27 28
2008 29 30 31
The result is still a ts object :
R> is.ts(subts)
[1] TRUE
