mutate_by_time {timetk}R Documentation

Mutate (for Time Series Data)

Description

mutate_by_time() is a time-based variant of the popular dplyr::mutate() function that uses .date_var to specify a date or date-time column and .by to group the calculation by groups like "5 seconds", "week", or "3 months".

Usage

mutate_by_time(
  .data,
  .date_var,
  .by = "day",
  ...,
  .type = c("floor", "ceiling", "round")
)

Arguments

.data

A tbl object or data.frame

.date_var

A column containing date or date-time values to summarize. If missing, attempts to auto-detect date column.

.by

A time unit to summarise by. Time units are collapsed using lubridate::floor_date() or lubridate::ceiling_date().

The value can be:

  • second

  • minute

  • hour

  • day

  • week

  • month

  • bimonth

  • quarter

  • season

  • halfyear

  • year

Arbitrary unique English abbreviations as in the lubridate::period() constructor are allowed.

...

Name-value pairs. The name gives the name of the column in the output.

The value can be:

  • A vector of length 1, which will be recycled to the correct length.

  • A vector the same length as the current group (or the whole data frame if ungrouped).

  • NULL, to remove the column.

  • A data frame or tibble, to create multiple columns in the output.

.type

One of "floor", "ceiling", or "round. Defaults to "floor". See lubridate::round_date.

Value

A tibble or data.frame

Examples

# Libraries
library(dplyr)

# First value in each month
m4_daily_first_by_month_tbl <- m4_daily %>%
    group_by(id) %>%
    mutate_by_time(
        .date_var = date,
        .by       = "month", # Setup for monthly aggregation
        # mutate recycles a single value
        first_value_by_month  = first(value)
    )
m4_daily_first_by_month_tbl

# Visualize Time Series vs 1st Value Each Month
m4_daily_first_by_month_tbl %>%
    tidyr::pivot_longer(value:first_value_by_month) %>%
    plot_time_series(date, value, name,
                     .facet_scale = "free", .facet_ncol = 2,
                     .smooth = FALSE, .interactive = FALSE)
