我喜欢 R,但有些问题很简单。
挑战是在基于时间的窗口大于或等于 6 小时的不规则时间序列中找到小于 30 的滚动和的第一个实例。我有这个系列的样本
Row Person DateTime Value
1 A 2014-01-01 08:15:00 5
2 A 2014-01-01 09:15:00 5
3 A 2014-01-01 10:00:00 5
4 A 2014-01-01 11:15:00 5
5 A 2014-01-01 14:15:00 5
6 B 2014-01-01 08:15:00 25
7 B 2014-01-01 10:15:00 25
8 B 2014-01-01 19:15:00 2
9 C 2014-01-01 08:00:00 20
10 C 2014-01-01 09:00:00 5
11 C 2014-01-01 13:45:00 1
12 D 2014-01-01 07:00:00 1
13 D 2014-01-01 08:15:00 13
14 D 2014-01-01 14:15:00 15
For Person A, Rows 1 & 5 create a minimum 6 hour interval with a running sum of 25 (which is less than 30).
For Person B, Rows 7 & 8 create a 9 hour interval with a running sum of 27 (again less than 30).
For Person C, using Rows 9 & 10, there is no minimum 6 hour interval (it is only 5.75 hours) although the running sum is 26 and is less than 30.
For Person D, using Rows 12 & 14, the interval is 7.25 hours but the running sum is 30 and is not less than 30.
给定 n 个观察值,必须比较 n*(n-1)/2 个区间。例如,当 n=2 时,只需要计算 1 个区间。对于 n=3,有 3 个区间。等等。
我假设这是子集和问题的一个变体(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem)
虽然可以对数据进行排序,但我怀疑这需要一个蛮力解决方案来测试每个间隔。
任何帮助,将不胜感激。
编辑:这是日期时间列格式化为 POSIXct 的数据:
df <- structure(list(Person = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L,
2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L), .Label = c("A", "B", "C", "D"), class = "factor"),
DateTime = structure(c(1388560500, 1388564100, 1388566800,
1388571300, 1388582100, 1388560500, 1388567700, 1388600100,
1388559600, 1388563200, 1388580300, 1388556000, 1388560500,
1388582100), class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = ""),
Value = c(5L, 5L, 5L, 5L, 5L, 25L, 25L, 2L, 20L, 5L, 1L,
1L, 13L, 15L)), .Names = c("Person", "DateTime", "Value"), row.names = c("1",
"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "13",
"14"), class = "data.frame")
