find the nearest previous negative value in a column - r

I have a data frame df:
library(tidyverse)
t <- c(103,104,108,120,127,129,140,142,150,151,160,177,178,183,186,187,191,194,198,199)
w <- c(1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,-1,1,1,1,-1,1,1,-1,-1)
df <- data_frame(t, w)
> dput(df)
structure(list(t = c(103, 104, 108, 120, 127, 129, 140, 142,
150, 151, 160, 177, 178, 183, 186, 187, 191, 194, 198, 199),
w = c(1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1,
-1, 1, 1, -1, -1)), .Names = c("t", "w"), row.names = c(NA,
-20L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))
> df
# A tibble: 20 x 2
t w
<dbl> <dbl>
1 103 1.00
2 104 1.00
3 108 1.00
4 120 -1.00
5 127 -1.00
6 129 -1.00
7 140 -1.00
8 142 -1.00
9 150 1.00
10 151 1.00
11 160 -1.00
12 177 -1.00
13 178 1.00
14 183 1.00
15 186 1.00
16 187 -1.00
17 191 1.00
18 194 1.00
19 198 -1.00
20 199 -1.00
Now, if the value in w is larger than zero, find the nearest previous negative w, and assign the difference between the corresponding t values to a new column d. Otherwise, d is equal to zero. I.e. the desired output should look like this:
t w d
103 1.00 NA (there is no previous w < 0)
104 1.00 NA (there is no previous w < 0)
108 1.00 NA (there is no previous w < 0)
120 -1.00 0
127 -1.00 0
129 -1.00 0
140 -1.00 0
142 -1.00 0
150 1.00 8 = 150 - 142
151 1.00 9 = 151 - 142
160 -1.00 0
177 -1.00 0
178 1.00 1 = 178 - 177
183 1.00 6 = 183 - 177
186 1.00 9 = 186 - 177
187 -1.00 0
191 1.00 4 = 191 - 187
194 1.00 7 = 194 - 187
198 -1.00 0
199 -1.00 0
(The NAs above might be zero as well.)
Since yesterday I'm trying to attack this problem using findInterval(), which(), etc. but without success. Another way I was thinking about is to introduce somehow a variable shift in lag() function...
Ideally, I would like to have a tidyverse-like solution.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Using data.table (since tidyverse currently has no non-equi joins):
library(data.table)
DT = data.table(df)
DT[, v := 0]
DT[w > 0, v :=
DT[w < 0][.SD, on=.(t < t), mult="last", i.t - x.t]
]
t w v
1: 103 1 NA
2: 104 1 NA
3: 108 1 NA
4: 120 -1 0
5: 127 -1 0
6: 129 -1 0
7: 140 -1 0
8: 142 -1 0
9: 150 1 8
10: 151 1 9
11: 160 -1 0
12: 177 -1 0
13: 178 1 1
14: 183 1 6
15: 186 1 9
16: 187 -1 0
17: 191 1 4
18: 194 1 7
19: 198 -1 0
20: 199 -1 0
It initializes the new column to 0, then replaces it on the subset of rows where w > 0. The replacement uses a join of the subset of data, .SD, where w > 0 to the part of the table where w < 0, DT[w < 0]. The join syntax is x[i, on=, j] where in this case...
x = DT[w < 0]
i = .SD = DT[w > 0]
The join uses each row of i to look up rows in x based on the rules in on=. When multiple matches are found, we take only the last (mult = "last").
j is what we use the join to do, here calculate the difference between two columns. To disambiguate columns from each table, we use prefixes x.* and i.*.
Using cummax. I'm not sure if this generalizes, but it works for the example:
DT[, v := t - cummax(t*(w < 0))]
DT[cumsum(w < 0) == 0, v := NA]
I guess this requires that the t column is sorted in increasing order.

A tidverse way:
First, make an intermediate column (t2) with NA if positive and and t if neg
df <- mutate(df, t2 = case_when(w > 0 ~ as.numeric(NA), TRUE ~ t))
#fill NA in t2 so that for each row, t2 is value of t when w was last neg
df <- fill(df, t2)
#> df
# A tibble: 20 x 3
# t w t2
# <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 103 1 NA
# 2 104 1 NA
# 3 108 1 NA
# 4 120 -1 120
# 5 127 -1 127
# 6 129 -1 129
# 7 140 -1 140
# 8 142 -1 142
# 9 150 1 142
#10 151 1 142
#11 160 -1 160
#12 177 -1 177
#13 178 1 177
#14 183 1 177
#15 186 1 177
#16 187 -1 187
#17 191 1 187
#18 194 1 187
#19 198 -1 198
#20 199 -1 199
Then subtract t2 from t
df$d <- with(df, t - t2)
#> df
# A tibble: 20 x 4
# t w t2 d
# <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 103 1 NA NA
# 2 104 1 NA NA
# 3 108 1 NA NA
# 4 120 -1 120 0
# 5 127 -1 127 0
# 6 129 -1 129 0
# 7 140 -1 140 0
# 8 142 -1 142 0
# 9 150 1 142 8
#10 151 1 142 9
#11 160 -1 160 0
#12 177 -1 177 0
#13 178 1 177 1

R - more effective left_join [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Overlap join with start and end positions
(5 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have got two dataframes - one containing names and ranges of limits (only few hundreds of rows, 1000 at most), which needs to be assigned to a "measurements" dataframe which can consist of million of rows (or ten's of millions of row).
Currently I am doing left_join and filtering value to get a specific limit assigned to each measurement. This however is quite ineffective and cost a lot of resources. For larger dataframes, the code is even unable to run.
Any ideas for more effective solutions will be helpful.

Here is one way to do it. The problematic part was the condition value < limit_to. foverlaps checks for the condition value <= limit_to which results in double matches so here we call the filter condition after the overlapping join and then select the desired columns. Note that the result is not in the same order as the df_results generated with dplyr.
library(data.table)
dt_limits <- as.data.table(df_limits)
dt_measurements <- as.data.table(df_measurements)
setkey(dt_limits, station_id, limit_from, limit_to)
dt_results <- foverlaps(dt_measurements[, value2 := value],
dt_limits,
by.x = c("station_id", "value", "value2"),

counting the number of times a value appears in a column in relation to other columns in r

I am new to r and I have a dataframe very close to the one below and I would love to find a general way that tells me how many times plus 1, the number "0" appears for each country (intro4) and id.
Intro4 number id
221 TAN 0 19
222 TAN 0 73
223 TAN 0 73
224 TOG 0 37
225 TOG 0 58
226 UGA 0 96
227 UGA 0 112
228 UGA 0 96
229 ZAM 0 40
230 ZAM 0 99
231 ZAM 0 139
I can do it by hand by it is a big data frame and would take forever, count () gives me the frequency but doesn't divide it between different countries. I have found a way to do it but I will have to select and filter for each individual county (intro4) and add 1 to the result. I was wondering if there was any quicker way to fo it. The code I have tried was this one:
projects <- finalr %>% select (Intro4,number,id)
projects1<-projects %>% filter (str_detect (number, "0"))
projects2<-projects1 %>%arrange (Intro4)
projects3<-sum(projects2$Intro4 == "TAN", na.rm = TRUE)
projects4<-sum(projects2$Intro4=="UGA",na.rm=TRUE)
I would be extremely grateful for any help, thank you :)
You can also do it as followed:
library(dplyr)
dat <- read.table(header = T, text =
"Intro4 number id
TAN 0 19
TAN 0 73
TAN 0 73
TOG 0 37
TOG 0 58
UGA 0 96
UGA 0 112
UGA 0 96
ZAM 0 40
ZAM 0 99
ZAM 0 139", stringsAsFactors = F)
dat %>% group_by(Intro4, id, number) %>% tally()
Which produces:
Intro4 id number n
<chr> <int> <int> <int>
1 TAN 19 0 1
2 TAN 73 0 2
3 TOG 37 0 1
4 TOG 58 0 1
5 UGA 96 0 2
6 UGA 112 0 1
7 ZAM 40 0 1
8 ZAM 99 0 1
9 ZAM 139 0 1
Assuming number can be anything like 0, 1, 2 etc. one can count occurrence of 0 by sum(number==0). A solution using dplyr can be as:
library(dplyr)
df %>% group_by(Intro4, id) %>%
summarise(count = sum(number==0))
# # A tibble: 9 x 3
# # Groups: Intro4 [?]
# Intro4 id count
# <chr> <int> <int>
# 1 TAN 19 1
# 2 TAN 73 2
# 3 TOG 37 1
# 4 TOG 58 1
# 5 UGA 96 2
# 6 UGA 112 1
# 7 ZAM 40 1
# 8 ZAM 99 1
# 9 ZAM 139 1
Data:
df <- read.table(text="
Intro4 number id

226 UGA 0 96
227 UGA 0 112

conditional Substacting numbers

I have data frame like this
test <- data.frame(gr=rep(letters[1:2],each=6),No=c(100:105,200:205))
gr No
1 a 100
2 a 101
3 a 102
4 a 103
5 a 104
6 a 105
7 b 200
8 b 201
9 b 202
10 b 203
11 b 204
12 b 205
in the No column the numbers are increasing in each gr. I need to sum gr a with 100 and b with 50 and need to have consecutive decrease after this operation.
I would like to have a new column that consecutive decrease with this increase. So I tried
decrese_func <- function(No,gr){
if(any(gr=="a")){
No+100
}
else
No+50
}
test%>%
group_by(gr)%>%
mutate(new_column=decrese_func(No,gr))
# A tibble: 12 x 3
# Groups: gr [2]
gr No new_column
<fct> <int> <dbl>
1 a 100 200
2 a 101 201
3 a 102 202
4 a 103 203
5 a 104 204
6 a 105 205
7 b 200 250
8 b 201 251
9 b 202 252
10 b 203 253
11 b 204 254
12 b 205 255
but what I need is like this
gr No new_column
<fct> <int> <dbl>
1 a 100 200
2 a 101 199
3 a 102 198
4 a 103 197
5 a 104 196
6 a 105 195
7 b 200 250
8 b 201 249
9 b 202 248
10 b 203 247
11 b 204 246
12 b 205 245
I cannot figure it out how to have consecutive decrease ?
Thx.
Not the most elegant answer but in the mean time, this may work:
library(dplyr)
test %>%
mutate(A = case_when(gr == "a" ~ 100,
gr == "b" ~ 50,
TRUE ~ NA_real_)) %>%
group_by(gr) %>%
mutate(B = (1:NROW(gr) - 1) * 2,
New_Column = No + A - B)
# A tibble: 12 x 5
# Groups: gr [2]
gr No A B New_Column
<fct> <int> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 a 100 100 0 200
2 a 101 100 2 199
3 a 102 100 4 198
4 a 103 100 6 197
5 a 104 100 8 196
6 a 105 100 10 195
7 b 200 50 0 250
8 b 201 50 2 249
9 b 202 50 4 248
10 b 203 50 6 247
11 b 204 50 8 246
12 b 205 50 10 245
Add select(gr, No, New_Column) at the end of the chain to get gr, No and New_Column only. I left the other columns just to show what's going on.
And if you want to wrap it into a function you could do something like:
desc_func <- function(group_var, condition, if_true_add, if_false_add, to_number) {
ifelse(
group_var == condition,
to_number + if_true_add - (1:NROW(group_var) - 1) * 2,
to_number + if_false_add - (1:NROW(group_var) - 1) * 2)
}
test %>%
group_by(gr) %>%
mutate(test_var = desc_func(gr, "a", 100, 50, No))
# A tibble: 12 x 3
# Groups: gr [2]
gr No test_var
<fct> <int> <dbl>
1 a 100 200
2 a 101 199
3 a 102 198
4 a 103 197
5 a 104 196
6 a 105 195
7 b 200 250
8 b 201 249
9 b 202 248
10 b 203 247
11 b 204 246
12 b 205 245
Here is a way to do this in base R
test$New <- with(test, No + c(100, 50)[cumsum(!duplicated(gr))] - 2*(No %% 100))
test$New
#[1] 200 199 198 197 196 195 250 249 248 247 246 245
Or a slight variation with match
with(test, No + c(100, 50)[match(gr, unique(gr))] - 2*(No %% 100))

Convert mapply output to dataframe variable

I have a data frame like this:
df <- data.frame(x=c(7,5,4),y=c(100,100,100),w=c(170,170,170),z=c(132,720,1256))
I create a new column using mapply:
set.seed(123)
library(truncnorm)
df$res <- mapply(rtruncnorm,df$x,df$y,df$w,df$z,25)
So, I got:
> df
#x y w z res
#1 7 100 170 132 117.9881, 126.2456, 133.7627, 135.2322, 143.5229, 100.3735, 114.8287
#2 5 100 170 720 168.8581, 169.4955, 169.6461, 169.8998, 169.0343
#3 4 100 170 1256 169.7245, 167.6744, 169.7025, 169.4441
#dput(df)
df <- structure(list(x = c(7, 5, 4), y = c(100, 100, 100), w = c(170,
170, 170), z = c(132, 720, 1256), res = list(c(117.988108836195,
126.245562762918, 133.762709785614, 135.232193379024, 143.52290514973,
100.373469134837, 114.828678702662), c(168.858147661715, 169.495493758985,
169.646123183828, 169.899849943838, 169.034333943479), c(169.724470294466,
167.674371713068, 169.70250974042, 169.444134892323))), .Names = c("x",
"y", "w", "z", "res"), row.names = c(NA, -3L), class = "data.frame")
But what I really need is repeat each row of df dataframe according to the df$res result as follows:
> df2
# x y w z res
#1 7 100 170 132 117.9881
#2 7 100 170 132 126.2456
#3 7 100 170 132 133.7627
#4 7 100 170 132 135.2322
#5 7 100 170 132 143.5229
#6 7 100 170 132 100.3735
#7 7 100 170 132 114.8287
#8 5 100 170 720 168.8581
#9 5 100 170 720 169.4955
#10 5 100 170 720 169.6461
#11 5 100 170 720 169.8998
#12 5 100 170 720 169.0343
#13 4 100 170 1256 169.7245
#14 4 100 170 1256 167.6744
#15 4 100 170 1256 169.7025
#16 4 100 170 1256 169.4441
How, do I achieve this efficiently? I need to apply this to a big dataframe
df <- data.frame(x=c(7,5,4),y=c(100,100,100),w=c(170,170,170),z=c(132,720,1256))
set.seed(123)
l <- mapply(rtruncnorm,df$x,df$y,df$w,df$z,25)
cbind.data.frame(df[rep(seq_along(l), lengths(l)),],
res = unlist(l))
# x y w z res
# 1 7 100 170 132 117.9881
# 1.1 7 100 170 132 126.2456
# 1.2 7 100 170 132 133.7627
# 1.3 7 100 170 132 135.2322
# 1.4 7 100 170 132 143.5229
# 1.5 7 100 170 132 100.3735
# 1.6 7 100 170 132 114.8287
# 2 5 100 170 720 168.8581
# 2.1 5 100 170 720 169.4955
# 2.2 5 100 170 720 169.6461
# 2.3 5 100 170 720 169.8998
# 2.4 5 100 170 720 169.0343
# 3 4 100 170 1256 169.7245
# 3.1 4 100 170 1256 167.6744
# 3.2 4 100 170 1256 169.7025
# 3.3 4 100 170 1256 169.4441
Try this based on your given df:
df$res <- sapply(df$res, paste0, collapse=",")
do.call(rbind, apply(df, 1, function(x) do.call(expand.grid, strsplit(x, ","))))
# x y w z res
# 1 7 100 170 132 117.988108836195

Rank() in R excluding zeros

I am trying to duplicated "manually" the example in this Wikipedia post using R.
Here is the data:
after = c(125, 115, 130, 140, 140, 115, 140, 125, 140, 135)
before = c(110, 122, 125, 120, 140, 124, 123, 137, 135, 145)
sgn = sign(after-before)
abs = abs(after - before)
d = data.frame(after,before,sgn,abs)
after before sgn abs
1 125 110 1 15
2 115 122 -1 7
3 130 125 1 5
4 140 120 1 20
5 140 140 0 0
6 115 124 -1 9
7 140 123 1 17
8 125 137 -1 12
9 140 135 1 5
10 135 145 -1 10
If I try to rank the rows based on the abs column, the 0 entry is naturally ranked as 1:
rank = rank(abs)
(d = data.frame(after,before,sgn,abs,rank))
after before sgn abs rank
1 125 110 1 15 8.0
2 115 122 -1 7 4.0
3 130 125 1 5 2.5
4 140 120 1 20 10.0
5 140 140 0 0 1.0
6 115 124 -1 9 5.0
7 140 123 1 17 9.0
8 125 137 -1 12 7.0
9 140 135 1 5 2.5
10 135 145 -1 10 6.0
However, zeros are ignored in the Wilcoxon signed-test.
How can I get R to ignore that row, so as to end up with:
after before sgn abs rank
1 125 110 1 15 7.0
2 115 122 -1 7 3.0
3 130 125 1 5 1.5
4 140 120 1 20 9.0
5 140 140 0 0 0
6 115 124 -1 9 4.0
7 140 123 1 17 8.0
8 125 137 -1 12 6.0
9 140 135 1 5 1.5
10 135 145 -1 10 5.0
SOLUTION (accepted answer below):
after = c(125, 115, 130, 140, 140, 115, 140, 125, 140, 135)
before = c(110, 122, 125, 120, 140, 124, 123, 137, 135, 145)
sgn = sign(after-before)
abs = abs(after - before)
d = data.frame(after,before,sgn,abs)
d$rank = rank(replace(abs,abs==0,NA), na='keep')
d$multi = d$sgn * d$rank
(W=abs(sum(d$multi, na.rm = T)))
9
From the Wikipedia article:
Exclude pairs with |x2,i − x1,i| = 0. Let Nr be the reduced sample size.
We need to exclude zeroes. By my thinking, you should replace zeroes with NA, and then specify to rank() that you want to exclude NAs from consideration for ranking. Since you need to return a vector of the same length as the input, you can specify 'keep' as the argument:
d$rank <- rank(replace(abs,abs==0,NA),na='keep');
d;
## after before sgn abs rank
## 1 125 110 1 15 7.0
## 2 115 122 -1 7 3.0
## 3 130 125 1 5 1.5
## 4 140 120 1 20 9.0
## 5 140 140 0 0 NA
## 6 115 124 -1 9 4.0
## 7 140 123 1 17 8.0
## 8 125 137 -1 12 6.0
## 9 140 135 1 5 1.5
## 10 135 145 -1 10 5.0
The subtraction-based solutions will not work if the input vector contains zero zeroes or multiple zeroes.
You could create the new column and then just update the rank where the abs value isn't 0
d$rank <- 0 # default value for rows with abs=0
d$rank[d$abs!=0] <- rank(d$abs[d$abs!=0])
If you wanted to drop the row completely, you could just do
transform(subset(d, abs!=0), rank=rank(abs))
A quick way to do it would be to rank as normal and then do:
d$rank <- ifelse(d$rank == 1, 0, d$rank - 1)
This switches all ranks of 1 to 0, and reduces any other ranks by 1.
