Here is an example of what I would like to do: meas = measurements times = time of measurement measf = measurements in final, reduced matrix timesf = time of measurement in final matrix
meas<-runif(30) times<-sort(runif(30)) inputmat<-cbind(times,meas) names(inputmat)<-c("timef","measf") I would then like to break the times up into 0.2 increments so the final matrix would look like this: timef measf 0.2 <mean of meas where (time >=0) and (time<0.2)> 0.4 . . . 1.0 Instead of measf being the mean, it could be the last measurement taken. -----Original Message----- From: ehl...@ucalgary.ca [mailto:ehl...@ucalgary.ca] Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 03:58 PM To: Thompson, Adele - adele_thomp...@cargill.com Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Averaging uneven measurements by time with uneven numbers of measurements On 2011-05-05 14:20, Schatzi wrote: > I do not want smoothing as the data should have jumps (it is weight left in > feeding bunker).

Actually, averaging *is* smoothing, but I suppose your intent is, for some reason, not to smooth across 30-minute boundaries. Perhaps you could use findInterval() to identify which measurements to average. Peter Ehlers > > ----- > In theory, practice and theory are the same.
