I have a table that looks like this: structure(list(speed = c(3,9,4,8,7,6), C = c(0.697, 0.011, 0.015, 0.012, 0.018, 0.019), house = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), date = c(719, 1027, 1027, 1027, 1030, 1030), hour = c(18, 8, 8, 8, 11, 11), id = c("1000", "10000", "10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")), .Names = c("speed", "C", "house", "date", "hour", "id"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1000", "10000", "10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")) I want to determine the minimum speed for each date, and the C that corresponds to that lowest speed.Then I want to make a table that contains all speeds and the difference between C and the lowest C. For example, on the date 1027, the minimum speed is 4 and the C that corresponds to that is 0.015. The new table should contain: speed 8 and C -0.003 speed 9 and C -0.004 speed 7 and C -0.001How do you do this? Thanks, Jeffrey [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
I'd dont quite get what you are asking, but here's my best guess and you can tweak it go get what you need. I'd do it in two passes since you want two rather unrelated objects. structure(list(speed = c(3,9,4,8,7,6), C = c(0.697, 0.011, 0.015, 0.012, 0.018, 0.019), house = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), date = c(719, 1027, 1027, 1027, 1030, 1030), hour = c(18, 8, 8, 8, 11, 11), id = c("1000", "10000", "10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")), .Names = c("speed", "C", "house", "date", "hour", "id"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1000", "10000", "10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")) -> X tapply(X, X$date, function(d) d$speed - min(d$speed)) tapply(X, X$date, function(d) d$C[which.min(d$speed)]) Michael On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 5:56 PM, Jeffrey Joh <johjeffrey at hotmail.com> wrote:> > I have a table that looks like this: > > structure(list(speed = c(3,9,4,8,7,6), C = c(0.697, 0.011, 0.015, 0.012, 0.018, 0.019), house = c(1, > 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), date = c(719, 1027, 1027, 1027, 1030, 1030), > ? ?hour = c(18, 8, 8, 8, 11, 11), id = c("1000", "10000", > ? ?"10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")), .Names = c("speed", > "C", "house", "date", "hour", "id"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1000", > "10000", "10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")) > > I want to determine the minimum speed for each date, and the C that corresponds to that lowest speed.Then I want to make a table that contains all speeds and the difference between C and the lowest C. > > For example, on the date 1027, the minimum speed is 4 and the C that corresponds to that is 0.015. ?The new table should contain: > speed 8 and C -0.003 > speed 9 and C -0.004 > speed 7 and C -0.001How do you do this? > > Thanks, > Jeffrey > > ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at 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. >
Hi: Here's one way with the plyr package. Using ds as the name of your data frame (thank you for the dput and clear description of what you wanted, BTW), library('plyr') ddply(ds, .(date), mutate, minspd = min(speed), Cmin C[which.min(speed)], diff = C - Cmin) speed C house date hour id minspd Cmin diff 1 3 0.697 1 719 18 1000 3 0.697 0.000 2 9 0.011 1 1027 8 10000 4 0.015 -0.004 3 4 0.015 1 1027 8 10001 4 0.015 0.000 4 8 0.012 1 1027 8 10002 4 0.015 -0.003 5 7 0.018 1 1030 11 10003 6 0.019 -0.001 6 6 0.019 1 1030 11 10004 6 0.019 0.000 HTH, Dennis On Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 2:56 PM, Jeffrey Joh <johjeffrey at hotmail.com> wrote:> > I have a table that looks like this: > > structure(list(speed = c(3,9,4,8,7,6), C = c(0.697, 0.011, 0.015, 0.012, 0.018, 0.019), house = c(1, > 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), date = c(719, 1027, 1027, 1027, 1030, 1030), > ? ?hour = c(18, 8, 8, 8, 11, 11), id = c("1000", "10000", > ? ?"10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")), .Names = c("speed", > "C", "house", "date", "hour", "id"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1000", > "10000", "10001", "10002", "10003", "10004")) > > I want to determine the minimum speed for each date, and the C that corresponds to that lowest speed.Then I want to make a table that contains all speeds and the difference between C and the lowest C. > > For example, on the date 1027, the minimum speed is 4 and the C that corresponds to that is 0.015. ?The new table should contain: > speed 8 and C -0.003 > speed 9 and C -0.004 > speed 7 and C -0.001How do you do this? > > Thanks, > Jeffrey > > ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at 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. >
