I have a data set similar to the set below where 1 and 2 indicate test results and 0 indicates time points in between where there are no test results. I would like to allocate the time points leading up to a test result with the value of the test result.
What I have: What I want: 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 2 0 2 2 2 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 2 2 2 I have attempted methods creating a data.frame of the the breaks/changes in of values to from 0 to 1 or to 2. x<-c(0,2,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,2,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,1) x1 <- which(diff(x) == 1) x2 <- which(diff(x) == 2) What ever the solution, I can't be entered by hand due to the size of the dataset (>10 million and change). Any ideas? This is my first time posting to this forum and I am relatively new to R, so please don't flame me to hard. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/foreloop-aggregating-time-series-data-into-groups-tp3022667p3022667.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
