R help - Aug 2022 - Combine two dataframe with different row number and interpolation between values

Dear all,
I am trying to combine two large dataframe in order to make a dataframe
with exactly the dimension of the second dataframe.
The first df is as follows:

df1 = data.frame(y = rep(c(2010,2011,2012,2013,2014), each = 2920), d
rep(c(1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365),each=8),
      h = rep(c(seq(3,24, by = 3),seq(3,24, by = 3),seq(3,24, by 3),seq(3,24, by
= 3),seq(3,24, by = 3)),365),
      ws = rnorm(1:14600, mean=20))
> head(df1)
     y       d   h        ws
1  2010  1  3     20.71488
2  2010  1  6     19.70125
3  2010  1  9     21.00180
4  2010  1 12     20.29236
5  2010  1 15     20.12317
6  2010  1 18     19.47782

The data in the "ws" column were measured with 3 hours frequency and I
need
data with one hour frequency. I have made a second df as follows with one
hour frequency for the "ws" column.

df2 = data.frame(y = rep(c(2010,2011,2012,2013,2014), each = 8760), d
rep(c(1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365),each=24),
      h = rep(c(1:24,1:24,1:24,1:24,1:24),365), ws =
"NA")
> head(df2)
      y      d    h   ws
1  2010  1    1   NA
2  2010  1    2   NA
3  2010  1    3   NA
4  2010  1    4   NA
5  2010  1    5   NA
6  2010  1    6   NA

What I am trying to do is combine these two dataframes so as to the rows in
df1 (based on the values of "y", "d", "h" columns)
that have values exactly
similar to df2's rows copied in its place in the new df (df3).
For example, in the first dataframe the first row was measured at 3 o'clock
on the first day of 2010 and this row must be placed on the third row of
the second dataframe which has a similar value (2010, 1, 3). Like the below
table:
      y      d    h   ws
1  2010  1    1   NA
2  2010  1    2   NA
3  2010  1    3   20.71488
4  2010  1    4   NA
5  2010  1    5   NA
6  2010  1    6   19.70125

But regarding the values of the "ws" column for df2 that do not have
value
(at 4 and 5 o'clock), I need to interpolate between the before and after
values to fill in the missing data of the "ws".
I have tried the following codes but they did not work correctly.
> df3 = merge(df1, df2, by = "y")
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 487.9 Mb
or
> library(dplyr)
> df3<- df1%>% full_join(df2)

Is there any way to do this?
Sincerely

Hallo

Merge

df3 <- merge(df1, df2, all=T)
> head(df3)
     y d h               ws
1 2010 1 1               NA
2 2010 1 2               NA
3 2010 1 3 20.4631367884005
4 2010 1 3               NA
5 2010 1 4               NA

Hallo

And missing value interpolation is rather tricky business dependent on what
is underlying process.

Maybe na.locf from zoo package?

Or approxfun?, splinefun?

Can I interest you in the join functions in dplyr?
https://www.datasciencemadesimple.com/join-in-r-merge-in-r/

Filling in missing data is a useful practice when the fake (simulated) data is a
small proportion of all data. When 2/3 of the data is fake one must wonder if
anything based on those numbers is real or an artifact of assumptions made to
generate the numbers.

I deal with weather data and some weather stations are set up to average
measurements between recorded values and others take a single reading at regular
intervals. How you interpolate might depend on which option describes your data.
The alternative is to use the method for recording ws and apply it to the other
data that will be merged with these data. I assume there is more data, otherwise
I see little point in expanding these values out.

Subject: [R] Combine two dataframe with different row number and interpolation
between values

[External Email]

 Dear all,
I am trying to combine two large dataframe in order to make a dataframe with
exactly the dimension of the second dataframe.
The first df is as follows:

df1 = data.frame(y = rep(c(2010,2011,2012,2013,2014), each = 2920), d =
rep(c(1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365),each=8),
      h = rep(c(seq(3,24, by = 3),seq(3,24, by = 3),seq(3,24, by = 3),seq(3,24,
by = 3),seq(3,24, by = 3)),365),
      ws = rnorm(1:14600, mean=20))
> head(df1)
     y       d   h        ws
1  2010  1  3     20.71488
2  2010  1  6     19.70125
3  2010  1  9     21.00180
4  2010  1 12     20.29236
5  2010  1 15     20.12317
6  2010  1 18     19.47782

The data in the "ws" column were measured with 3 hours frequency and I
need data with one hour frequency. I have made a second df as follows with one
hour frequency for the "ws" column.

df2 = data.frame(y = rep(c(2010,2011,2012,2013,2014), each = 8760), d =
rep(c(1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365,1:365),each=24),
      h = rep(c(1:24,1:24,1:24,1:24,1:24),365), ws =
"NA")
> head(df2)
      y      d    h   ws
1  2010  1    1   NA
2  2010  1    2   NA
3  2010  1    3   NA
4  2010  1    4   NA
5  2010  1    5   NA
6  2010  1    6   NA

What I am trying to do is combine these two dataframes so as to the rows in
df1 (based on the values of "y", "d", "h" columns)
that have values exactly similar to df2's rows copied in its place in the
new df (df3).
For example, in the first dataframe the first row was measured at 3 o'clock
on the first day of 2010 and this row must be placed on the third row of the
second dataframe which has a similar value (2010, 1, 3). Like the below
table:
      y      d    h   ws
1  2010  1    1   NA
2  2010  1    2   NA
3  2010  1    3   20.71488
4  2010  1    4   NA
5  2010  1    5   NA
6  2010  1    6   19.70125

But regarding the values of the "ws" column for df2 that do not have
value (at 4 and 5 o'clock), I need to interpolate between the before and
after values to fill in the missing data of the "ws".
I have tried the following codes but they did not work correctly.
> df3 = merge(df1, df2, by = "y")
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 487.9 Mb or
> library(dplyr)
> df3<- df1%>% full_join(df2)

Is there any way to do this?
Sincerely

Dear Tim;
The dplyr did not work for me. My data frames have exactly similar columns
but different row numbers.
Mr Petr sent this code and the code worked but it copied the second
dataframe into the first one and did not replace the corresponding
row.
> df3 = merge(df1, df2, all = TRUE)
Regarding filling the "NA" data, it does not matter for me to
interpolate
between numbers or put the mean of numbers.
Sincerely
