这是一种可能的方法。它用于ave
根据“id”出现的次数创建一个“时间”变量,对我来说,这听起来就像你正在寻找的东西。
您的数据,但已订购(并使用set.seed
以便其他人可以复制它):
set.seed(1)
h <- seq(from=as.Date("2005-06-01"),
to=as.Date("2008-06-30"), by=1)
a <- data.frame(id=sample(c(1:100), 300, replace=TRUE),
val=rnorm(n=300),
date=sample(h, 300, replace=TRUE))
rm(h)
a <- a[order(a$id, a$date), ]
rbind(head(a), tail(a))
# id val date
# 27 2 0.78763961 2007-08-25
# 116 2 0.27005490 2008-03-05
# 281 3 -2.03328560 2006-08-08
# 47 3 1.44115771 2007-06-25
# 133 4 1.32425863 2006-06-14
# 228 5 -0.14587563 2006-10-15
# 111 98 0.95101281 2008-04-29
# 293 99 -0.01825971 2006-01-20
# 139 99 0.43370215 2008-02-20
# 121 100 -0.25893258 2005-06-07
# 18 100 -1.42449465 2007-08-19
# 104 100 -0.24766434 2008-05-11
您最终会得到 8 个“次”,使用table
.
max(table(a$id))
# [1] 8
a$time <- ave(a$id, a$id, FUN=seq_along)
rbind(head(a), tail(a))
# id val date time
