HI, If you want to do daily mean, sum etc. you could try ?tapply(), ?ave(), ?aggregate(), ?ddply() etc. For e.g. ave(myframe2$Speed,as.Date(myframe2$myframestime),FUN=sum) #[1] 4 4 4 12 12 12 tapply(myframe2$Speed,as.Date(myframe2$myframestime),FUN=mean) #2012-09-24 2012-09-25 # 1.333333 4.000000
It is better to show the complex data as an example using dput() A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tagmarie <ramga...@gmx.net> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:02 AM Subject: [R] loop with date Hello, I tried to construct my very first loop today and completly failed :-( Maybe someone can help me? I have a dataframe somewhat like this one: myframe <- data.frame (Timestamp=c("24.09.2012 09:00", "24.09.2012 10:00", "24.09.2012 11:00", "25.09.2012 09:00", "25.09.2012 10:00", "25.09.2012 11:00"), Speed=c(1,1,2,5,1,6)) myframestime <- as.POSIXct (strptime(as.character(myframe$Timestamp), "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"), tz="GMT") myframe2 <- cbind (myframe,myframestime) myframe2$Timestamp <- NULL myframe2 I want to construct a loop for every day, i.e. for each day I want to do some calculations. (I know in the example it would be easier to do it differently, my real data are little more complex). And BTW: Thanks for helping me earlier today with that other problem :-) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/loop-with-date-tp4650961.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
