Subject: Re: [R] Read 2 rows in 1 dataframe for diff - longitudinal data
Hi,
By comparing some of the solutions:
?set.seed(25)
?subid<- sample(30:50,22e5,replace=TRUE)
set.seed(27)
year<- sample(1990:2012,22e5,replace=TRUE)
set.seed(35)
?var1<- sample(c(1,3,5,7),22e5,replace=TRUE)
df2<- data.frame(subid,year,var1)
df2<- df2[order(df2$subid,df2$year),]
system.time(res<-subset(ddply(df2,.(subid),mutate,delta=c(FALSE,var1[-1]!=var1[-
length(var1)])),delta)[,-4])
#? user? system elapsed
?# 8.036?? 0.132?? 8.188
system.time(res2<-df2[ as.logical( ave( df2$var1, df2$subid, FUN=function(x) c( FALSE,
x[-1] != x[-length(x)]) ) ), ])
#? user? system elapsed
?# 1.220?? 0.000?? 1.222
system.time(res3<-df2[with(df2,unlist(tapply(var1,list(subid),FUN=function(x)
c(FALSE,diff(x)!=0)),use.names=FALSE)),])
#? user? system elapsed
?# 1.729?? 0.000?? 1.730
identical(res2,res3)
#[1] TRUE
row.names(res)<-1:nrow(res)
?row.names(res2)<-1:nrow(res)
?identical(res,res2)
#[1] TRUE
I found half an hour a bit too extreme by comparing the above numbers.

6 ? ? 47 1999 ? 1
should not be included in the output list because, we are trying
to detect changes within the subid's. ?1999 was the first year for
subject 47 and changes have to be detected after that year - hence we
were using ddply to group. Your solution ran very fast as expected.
AK- I have a large dataset and your solution is taking too long -
as a matter of fact i had to kill it afte 1/2 hr on a 22K row dataset.
Thanks for the suggestions.

If it is grouped by "subid" (that would be the difference in the number of changes)

I'm not sure why the first one retruns integer values from the ave() call but the second
version works:
df1[ ave( df1$var, df1$subid, FUN=function(x) c( FALSE, x[-1] != x[-length(x)]) ), ]
? ? subid year var
1? ? ? 36 1999? 1
1.1? ? 36 1999? 1
1.2? ? 36 1999? 1
1.3? ? 36 1999? 1
ave( df1$var, df1$subid, FUN=function(x) c( FALSE, x[-1] != x[-length(x)]))
[1] 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1
Perhaps one of the single item groups sabotaged my simple function.
df1[ as.logical( ave( df1$var, df1$subid, FUN=function(x) c( FALSE, x[-1] != x[-length(x)])
) ), ]
? subid year var
3? ? 36 2003? 3
7? ? 47 2001? 3
9? ? 47 2005? 1
10? ? 47 2007? 3

May be this helps:

A.K.
It's pretty simple with logical indexing:
df1[ c(FALSE, df1$var[-1]!=df1$var[-length(df1$var)]), ]
? ? subid year var
3? ? 36 2003? 3
6? ? 47 1999? 1
7? ? 47 2001? 3
9? ? 47 2005? 1
10? ? 47 2007? 3
When I count the number of changes in value of var is give me 5. Not sure why you are
I need to output a dataframe whenever var changes a value.
df1 <-
data.frame(subid=rep(c(36,47),each=5),year=rep(seq(1999,2007,2),2),var=c(1,1,3,3,3,1,3
,3,1,3))
? ? subid year var
1? ? 36 1999? 1
2? ? 36 2001? 1
3? ? 36 2003? 3
4? ? 36 2005? 3
5? ? 36 2007? 3
6? ? 47 1999? 1
7? ? 47 2001? 3
8? ? 47 2003? 3
9? ? 47 2005? 1
10? ? 47 2007? 3
I need:
36 2003? 3
47 2001? 3
47 2005? 1
47 2007? 3
I am trying to use ddply over subid and use the diff function, but it is not working quiet
dd <- ddply(df1,.(subid),summarize,delta=diff(var) != 0)
dd
? ? subid delta
1? ? 36 FALSE
2? ? 36? TRUE
3? ? 36 FALSE
4? ? 36 FALSE
5? ? 47? TRUE
6? ? 47 FALSE
7? ? 47? TRUE
8? ? 47? TRUE
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thank You!
