I need to process rows of a data-frame in order, but need to look-back for certain rows. Here is an approximate example:
library(dplyr)
d <- data_frame(trial = rep(c("A","a","b","B","x","y"),2))
d <- d %>%
mutate(cond = rep('', n()), num = as.integer(rep(0,n())))
for (i in 1:nrow(d)){
if(d$trial[i] == "A"){
d$num[i] <- 0
d$cond[i] <- "A"
}
else if(d$trial[i] == "B"){
d$num[i] <- 0
d$cond[i] <- "B"
}
else{
d$num[i] <- d$num[i-1] +1
d$cond[i] <- d$cond[i-1]
}
}
The resulting data-frame looks like
> d
Source: local data frame [12 x 3]
trial cond num
1 A A 0
2 a A 1
3 b A 2
4 B B 0
5 x B 1
6 y B 2
7 A A 0
8 a A 1
9 b A 2
10 B B 0
11 x B 1
12 y B 2
What is the proper way of doing this using dplyr
?

-only solution:
d %>%
group_by(i=cumsum(trial %in% c('A','B'))) %>%
mutate(cond=trial[1],num=seq(n())-1) %>%
ungroup() %>%
select(-i)
# trial cond num
# 1 A A 0
# 2 a A 1
# 3 b A 2
# 4 B B 0
# 5 x B 1
# 6 y B 2
# 7 A A 0
# 8 a A 1
# 9 b A 2
# 10 B B 0
# 11 x B 1
# 12 y B 2
Try
d %>%
mutate(cond = zoo::na.locf(ifelse(trial=="A"|trial=="B", trial, NA))) %>%
group_by(id=rep(1:length(rle(cond)$values), rle(cond)$lengths)) %>%
mutate(num = 0:(n()-1)) %>% ungroup %>%
select(-id)
Here is one way. The first thing was to add A or B in cond
using ifelse
. Then, I employed na.locf()
from the zoo
package in order to fill NA with A or B. I wanted to assign a temporary group ID before I took care of num
. I borrowed rleid()
in the data.table
package. Grouping the data with the temporary group ID (i.e., foo
), I used row_number()
which is one of the window functions in the dplyr
package. Note that I tried to remove foo
doing select(-foo)
. But, the column wanted to stay. I think this is probably something to do with compatibility of the function.
library(zoo)
library(dplyr)
library(data.table)
d <- data_frame(trial = rep(c("A","a","b","B","x","y"),2))
mutate(d, cond = ifelse(trial == "A" | trial == "B", trial, NA),
cond = na.locf(cond),
foo = rleid(cond)) %>%
group_by(foo) %>%
mutate(num = row_number() - 1)
# trial cond foo num
#1 A A 1 0
#2 a A 1 1
#3 b A 1 2
#4 B B 2 0
#5 x B 2 1
#6 y B 2 2
#7 A A 3 0
#8 a A 3 1
#9 b A 3 2
#10 B B 4 0
#11 x B 4 1
#12 y B 4 2
