Help with a problem
Sorry for not being clear. In the dataset there are around 100 or so days of data (in the case also rows of data) I need to make sure that the person meets that c1 is at least 100 AND c2 is at least 8 for 5 of 7 continuous days. I will play with what I have and see if I can find out how to do this. Thanks for the help! Michael

Mike,
I am slightly unclear on what you want to do. Do you want to check rows
1 and 7 or 1 *to* 7? Should c1 be at least 100 for *any one* or *all*
rows you are looking at, and same for c2?
You can sort your data like this:
data <- data[order(data$ds),]
Type ?order for help. But also do this for added enlightenment...:
library(fortunes)
fortune("dog")
Next, your analysis on the sorted data frame. As I said, I am not
entirely clear on what you are looking at, but the following may solve
your problem with choices "1 to 7" and "any one" above.
foo <- 0
for ( ii in 1:(nrow(data)-8) ) {
if (any(data$c1[ii+seq(0,6)]>=100) & any(data$c2[ii+seq(0,6)]>=8)) {
foo <- 1
break
}
}
The variable "foo" should contain what you want it to. Look at ?any
(and, if this does not do what you want it to, at ?all) for further info.
No doubt this could be vectorized, but I think the loop is clear enough.
Good luck!
Stephan

If it is not, start with check rows 2,8 and if not there 3,9....until it loops over the entire file. If it finds a set that matches, set a new variable equal to 1, if never finds a match, set it equal to 0. I have done this in stata but on this project we are trying to use R. Is this something that can be done in R, if so, could someone point me in the correct direction.
