Efficient method of obtaining successive high values of data.frame column - r

Lets say I have the following data.frame in R
df <- data.frame(order=(1:10),value=c(1,7,3,5,9,2,9,10,2,3))
Other than looping through data an testing whether value exceeds previous high value how can I get successive high values so that I can end up with a table like this
order value
1 1
2 7
5 9
8 10
TIA

Here's one option, if I understood the question correct:
df[df$value > cummax(c(-Inf, head(df$value, -1))),]
# order value
#1 1 1
#2 2 7
#5 5 9
#8 8 10
I use cummax to keep track of the maximum of column "value" and compare it (the previous row's cummax) to each "value" entry. To make sure the first entry is also selected, I start by "-Inf".

"get successive high values (of value?)" is unclear.
It seems you want to filter only rows whose value is higher than previous max.
First, we reorder your df in increasing order of value... (not clear but I think that's what you wanted)
Then we use logical indexing with diff()>0 to only include strictly-increasing rows:
rdf <- df[order(df$value),]
rdf[ diff(rdf$value)>0, ]
order value
1 1 1
9 9 2
10 10 3
4 4 5
2 2 7
7 7 9
8 8 10

How do I change the order of multiple grouped values in a row dependent on another variable in that row in R?

I need some help conditionally sorting/switching data based on a factor variable.
I'm not sure if it's a typical use case I just can't formulate properly enough for a search engine to show me a solution or if it is that niche but I haven't found anything yet.
I currently have a dataframe like this:
id group a1 a2 a3 a4 b1 b2 b3 b4
1 1 2 6 6 3 4 4 6 4
2 2 5 2 2 2 2 5 2 3
3 1 6 3 3 1 3 6 4 1
4 1 4 8 4 2 7 8 8 9
5 2 3 1 1 4 2 1 1 7
For context this is from a psychological experiment where people went through two variations of a task and the order of those conditions was determined by the experimental group they were assigned to. The columns represent different measurements from different trials and are currently grouped together for the same variable and in chronological order, meaning a1,a2,a3,a4 are essentially the same variable at consecutive time points, same with b1,b2,b3,b4.
I want to split them up for the different conditions so regardless of which group (=which order of tasks) someone went through, data from one condition should come first in the dataframe and columns should still be grouped together for the same variables and in chronological order within that condition. It should essentially look like this:
id group c1a1 c1a2 c2a1 c2a2 c1b1 c1b2 c2b1 c2b2
1 1 2 6 6 3 4 4 6 4
2 2 2 2 5 2 2 3 2 5
3 1 6 3 3 1 3 6 4 1
4 1 4 8 4 2 7 8 8 9
5 2 1 4 3 1 1 7 2 1
So essentially for group 1 everything stays the same since they happened to go through the conditions in the same order that I want to have in the new dataframe while for group 2 values are being switched where the originally second half of values for each variable is put in front of the originally first one.
I hope I formulated the problem in a way, people can understand it.
My real dataset is a bit more complicated it has 180 columns minus id and group so 178.
I have 13 variables some of which were measured over two conditions with 5 trials for each of those and some which have those 5 trials for each of the 2 main condition but which also have 2 adittional measurements for each condition where the order was determined by the same group variable.
(We essentially asked participants to do the task again in two certain ways, which allowed us to see if they were capable of doing them like that if they wanted to under the circumstences of both main conditions).
So there are an adittional 4 columns for some variables which need to be treated seperately. It should look like this when transformed (x and y are the 2 extra tasks where only b was measured once):
id group c1a1 c1a2 c2a1 c2a2 c1b1 c1b2 c1bx c1by c2b1 c2b2 c2bx c2by
1 1 2 6 6 3 4 4 3 7 6 4 4 2
2 2 2 2 5 2 2 3 4 3 2 5 2 2
3 1 6 3 3 1 3 6 2 2 4 1 1 1
4 1 4 8 4 2 7 8 1 1 8 9 5 8
5 2 1 4 3 1 1 7 8 9 2 1 3 4
What I want to say with this is, I need a pretty general solution.
I already tried formulating a function for creation of two seperate datasets for the groups and then merging them by id but got stuck with the automatic creation and naming of columns which I can't seem to wrap my head around. dplyr is currently loaded and used for some other transformations but since I'm not really good with it, I need to ask for your help regarding a solution with or without it. I'm still pretty new to R and this is for my bachelor thesis.
Thanks in advance!
Your question leaves a few things unclear that make this hard to answer, but here is maybe a start that could help, or at least help clarify your problem.
It would really help if you could clarify 2 pieces of info, what types of column rearrangements you need, and how you distinguish what indicates that a row needs to have this transformation.
I'm also wondering if instead of trying to manipulate your data in its current shape, if it not might be more practical to figure out how to change the shape of your data to better represent your data, perhaps using something like pivot_longer(), I don't know how this data will ultimately be used or what the actual values indicate, but it doesn't seem to be very tidy in its current form, and instead having a "longer" table might be more meaningful, but I'll still provide what I think is a solution to your listed problem.
This creates some example data that looks like it reflects yours in the example table.
ID=seq(1:10)
group=sample(1:2,10,replace=T)
Data=matrix(sample(1:10,80,replace=T),nrow=10,ncol=8)
DataFrame=data.frame('ID'=ID,'Group'=group,Data)
You then define the groups of columns that need to be kept together. I can't tell if there is an automated way for you to indicate which columns are grouped, but this might get bulky if done manually. Some more information on what your column names actually are, and how they are distributed in groups would help.
ColumnGroups=list('One'=c('X1','X2'),'Two'=c('X3','X4'),'Three'=c('X5','X6'),'Four'=c('X7','X8'))
You can then figure out which rows need to have rearranged done by using some conditional. Based on your example, I'm assuming when the group variable equals 2, then the rearranging needs to be done, which is what I've used here.
FlipRows=DataFrame$Group==2
You can then have R only apply the rearrangement needed to those rows that need it, and define the rearrangement based on the ordering of the different column groups. I know you ask for a general solution, but is hard to identify the general solution you need without knowing what types of column rearrangements you need. If it is always flipping two sets of consecutive column groups, that would be easier to define without having to type it all out. What I have done here would require you to manually type out the order of the different column groups that you would like the rows to be rearranged as. The SortedDataFrame object seems to be what you are looking for, but might not actually reflect your real data. I removed columns 1 and 2 in this operation since those are ID and group which you don't want overridden.
SortedDataFrame=DataFrame
SortedDataFrame[FlipRows,-c(1,2)]=DataFrame[FlipRows,c(ColumnGroups$Two,ColumnGroups$One,ColumnGroups$Four,ColumnGroups$Three)]
This solution won't work if you need to rearrange each row differently, but it is unclear if that is the case. Try to provide any of the other info requested here, and let me know where this solution doesn't work for you, and that.

Count consecutive preceding elements in DolphinDB

Volume
f
Explanation
10
0
no volume before 10
7
0
no smaller volume before 7
13
2
Both 10 and 7 are smaller than 13
6
0
13 is larger than 6
4
0
6 is larger than 4
8
2
Both 6 and 4 are smaller than 8
7
0
8 is larger than 7
3
0
7 is larger than 3
4
1
3 is smaller than 4
As shown in the above table, I’d like to obtain the f column based on volume in DolphinDB.
Suppose the current volume is t, the desired output f is the count of volumes that meet the following conditions:
There are consecutive elements in volume column that are less than t
The last volume of the consecutive elements is the preceding volume
before t;
The calculation principle in detail is illustrated in the explanation column.
I tried for-loop but it didn't work. Does DolphinDB support any other functions to obtain the result?
t = table(1..10 as volume) tmp = select volume, iif(deltas(volume)>0, rowNo(volume), NULL) as flag from t tmp.bfill!() select volume, cumrank(volume) from tmp context by flag

Stacking two data frame columns into a single separate data frame column in R

I will present my question in two ways. First, requesting a solution for a task; and second, as a description of my overall objective (in case I am overthinking this and there is an easier solution).
1) Task Solution
Data context: each row contains four price variables (columns) representing (a) the price at which the respondent feels the product is too cheap; (b) the price that is perceived as a bargain; (c) the price that is perceived as expensive; (d) the price that is too expensive to purchase.
## mock data set
a<-c(1,5,3,4,5)
b<-c(6,6,5,6,8)
c<-c(7,8,8,10,9)
d<-c(8,10,9,11,12)
df<-as.data.frame(cbind(a,b,c,d))
## result
# a b c d
#1 1 6 7 8
#2 5 6 8 10
#3 3 5 8 9
#4 4 6 10 11
#5 5 8 9 12
Task Objective: The goal is to create a single column in a new data frame that lists all of the unique values contained in a, b, c, and d.
price
#1 1
#2 3
#3 4
#4 5
#5 6
...
#12 12
My initial thought was to use rbind() and unique()...
price<-rbind(df$a,df$b,df$c,df$d)
price<-unique(price)
...expecting that a, b, c and d would stack vertically.
[Pseudo illustration]
a[1]
a[2]
a[...]
a[n]
b[1]
b[2]
b[...]
b[n]
etc.
Instead, the "columns" are treated as rows and stacked horizontally.
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
1 1 5 3 4 5
2 6 6 5 6 8
3 7 8 8 10 9
4 8 10 9 11 12
How may I stack a, b, c and d such that price consists of only one column ("V1") that contains all twenty responses? (The unique part I can handle separately afterwards).
2) Overall Objective: The Bigger Picture
Ultimately, I want to create a cumulative share of population for each price (too cheap, bargain, expensive, too expensive) at each price point (defined by the unique values described above). For example, what percentage of respondents felt $1 was too cheap, what percentage felt $3 or less was too cheap, etc.
The cumulative shares for bargain and expensive are later inverted to become not.bargain and not.expensive and the four vectors reside in a data frame like this:
buckets too.cheap not.bargain not.expensive too.expensive
1 0.01 to 0.50 0.000000000 1 1 0
2 0.51 to 1.00 0.000000000 1 1 0
3 1.01 to 1.50 0.000000000 1 1 0
4 1.51 to 2.00 0.000000000 1 1 0
5 2.01 to 2.50 0.001041667 1 1 0
6 2.51 to 3.00 0.001041667 1 1 0
...
from which I may plot something that looks like this:
Above, I accomplished my plotting objective using defined price buckets ($0.50 ranges) and the hist() function.
However, the intersections of these lines have meanings and I want to calculate the exact price at which any of the lines cross. This is difficult when the x-axis is defined by price range buckets instead of a specific value; hence the desire to switch to exact values and the need to generate the unique price variable.
[Postscript: This analysis is based on Peter Van Westendorp's Price Sensitivity Meter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Westendorp%27s_Price_Sensitivity_Meter) which has known practical limitations but is relevant in the context of my research which will explore consumer perceptions of value under different treatments rather than defining an actual real-world price. I mention this for two reasons 1) to provide greater insight into my objective in case another approach comes to mind, and 2) to keep the thread focused on the mechanics rather than whether or not the Price Sensitivity Meter should be used.]
We can unlist the data.frame to a vector and get the sorted unique elements
sort(unique(unlist(df)))
When we do an rbind, it creates a matrix and unique of matrix calls the unique.matrix
methods('unique')
#[1] unique.array unique.bibentry* unique.data.frame unique.data.table* unique.default unique.IDate* unique.ITime*
#[8] unique.matrix unique.numeric_version unique.POSIXlt unique.warnings
which loops through the rows as the default MARGIN is 1 and then looks for unique elements. Instead, if we use the 'price', either as.vector or c(price) converts into vector
sort(unique(c(price)))
#[1] 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
If we use unique.default
sort(unique.default(price))
#[1] 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Sum variables conditionally with loop in r

I realize this is a topic that's covered somewhat well but I couldn't find anything that approaches this specific concern:
I have a df with 800 columns, 10 iterations of 80 columns (each column represents an item) - Each column is named something like: 1_BL_PRE.1 1_FU_PRE.1 1_BL_PRE.1 1_BL_POST.1
Where the first '1' indicates the item number and the second '1' indicates the iteration number.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the sums of specific groups of items from all 10 iterations.
As a short example let's say I want to take the 1st and 3rd item of BL_PRE and get the sum of all 10 iterations for those 2 items - how would I do this?
subject 1_BL_PRE.1 2_BL_PRE.1 3_BL_PRE.1 1_BL_PRE.2 2_BL_PRE.2
1 40002 3 4 3 1 2
2 40004 1 2 3 4 4
3 40006 4 3 3 3 1
4 40008 2 3 1 2 3
5 40009 3 4 1 2 3
Expected output (where A represents the sum of 1_BL_PRE.1, 3_BL_PRE.1, 1_BL_PRE.2 and so on):
subject BL_PRE_A
1 40002 12
2 40004 14
3 40006 15
4 40008 20
5 40009 12
My hunch is the solution is related to a for-loop or lappy (and I'm not familiar at all with either). I'm trying to work with apply(finaldata,1,function(x) {sum(x ...)}) but I haven't been able to figure out the conditional statement for the function of sum.
If there's an implementation with plyr I'd be really curious to see what that looks like. (and if there's a thread that answers this, apologies and just re-direct!)
**Edited to include small example + code I'm trying to get to work
Thanks!

TraMineR: Can I get the complete sequence if I give an event sub sequence?

I have a sequence dataset like below:
customerid flag 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
abc234 1 3 4 3 4 5 8 4 3 3 2 14 14
abc233 0 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
qpr81 0 9 8 7 8 8 7 8 8 7 8 8 7
qnr94 0 14 14 14 2 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
Values in column 0 to 11 are the sequences. There are two sets of customers with flag=1 and flag=0, I have differentiating event sequences for both sets. ( Only frequencies and residuals for 2 groups are shown here)
Subsequence Freq.0 Freq.1 Resid.0 Resid.1
(3>4) 0.19208177 0.0753386 5.540793 -21.43304
(4>5) 0.15752553 0.059960497 5.115241 -19.78691
(5>4) 0.15950556 0.062782167 5.037413 -19.48586
I want to find the customer ids and the flags for which the event sequences match.
Should I write a python script to traverse the transactions or is there some direct method in R to do this?

#Using seqeapplysub for finding the presence of subsequences?
presence=seqeapplysub(fsubseq,method="presence")
print(presence[1:3,3:1])
`
Thanks
From what I understand, you have state sequences and have transformed them into event sequences using the seqecreate function of TraMineR. The events you are considering are the state changes. Thus (3>4) stands for a subsequence with only one event, namely the event 3>4 (switching from 3 to 4). Then, you identify the event subsequences that best discriminate your two flags using the seqefsub and seqecmpgroup functions.
If this is correct, then you can identify the sequences containing each subsequence with the seqeapplysub function. I cannot illustrate here because you do not provide any code in your question. Look at the online help of the seqeapplysub function.
======= update referring to your added code =======
Here is how you get the ids of the sequences that contain the most discriminating subsequence.
First we extract the first three most discriminating sequences from your diff object. Second, we compute the presence matrix that provides a column for each extracted subsequence with a 1 in regard of the sequences that contain the subsequence and 0 otherwise.
diffseq <- seqefsub(df.seqe, strsubseq = paste(diff$subseq[1:3]))
(presence=seqeapplysub(diffseq, method="presence"))
Now you get the ids for the first subsequence with
custid[presence[,1]==1]
For the second it would be custid[presence[,2]==1] etc.
Likewise you get the flag with
flag[presence[,1]==1]
Hope this helps.
