Dear R users, Could you share your knowledge on following problem:
Suppose we have dataframe: ID TIME Data1 Data2 Data3 ........... Data700 1. 2013-01-01 00:00:00 34 53 66 ............ 55 2. 2013-01-01 00:00:01 333 4 5 ............ 50 3. 2013-01-01 00:00:02 and so on 4. 2013-01-01 00:00:03 and so on 5. 2013-01-01 03:00:45 44 33 4 ............. 66 6. 2013-01-01 03:00:46 46 35 7 ............. 6 Notice that between ID 4 and ID 5 there is a gap, that instrument was turned off. It started automatically in 2013-01-01 03:00:45 and continues till the next turn off. What I need R to do, is to find these gaps, and insert missing time values with empty Data lines to have no gaps in time and empty (or NA) values in data place: ID TIME Data1 Data2 Data3 ........... Data700 1. 2013-01-01 00:00:00 34 53 66 ............ 55 2. 2013-01-01 00:00:01 333 4 5 ............ 50 3. 2013-01-01 00:00:02 and so on 4. 2013-01-01 00:00:03 and so on 5. 2013-01-01 00:00:04 <- time with empty (or NA) data values inserted 6. 2013-01-01 00:00:05 <- time with empty (or NA) data values inserted 7. 2013-01-01 00:00:06 <- time with empty (or NA) data values inserted ................ and so on, until the time when instrument works again: 2013-01-01 03:00:45 44 33 4 ............. 66 2013-01-01 03:00:46 46 35 7 ............. 6 All your suggestions will be appreciated!
