Code to fetch summary info from vector
Maybe rle can help a little here rle(b>1) Run Length Encoding lengths: int [1:5] 3 5 5 8 3 values : logi [1:5] FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE FALSE r<-rle(b>1) r$lengths[r$values] [1] 5 8 # started for the maximum but need to go home now, sorry. Will continue tomorrow if noone else finishes it. groups <- rep(1:length(r$lengths),r$lengths)

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help. I have a vector "b": b=c(1,1,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,1,1,1,1,2,3,4,5,4,3.5,3,2,1,1,1) Imagine b is river flow throughout time. I would like some code that will generate the following information: number of individual 'periods' where b>1 (= 2 in this case) period 1 length = 5, max = 4 period 2 length = 8, max = 5 I can't figure anything useful out.
