How can I define upper and lower threshold of a grouping variable as a variable for each group

tidyverse
1

I have grouped my data for each 5 minutes using dplyr package. date_chunk represents the grouping variable. I need to define lower and upper threshold of the grouping variable as separate variable. For example, in first group: lower threshold is 6:37:29 and upper threshold is 6:42:28. I am not intended to get maximum value of a group by sample. I have just added reproducible dataset with grouping variable. Your helping hand is highly appreciated.

Hi @Shahin,

I'm not totally clear on what your question is here. If you're looking to add a variable based on values for each observation, then mutate() is the dplyr function you're looking for.

In this specific case, if you're looking to group by a time variable that is less granular than the data collected, @Edwin's padr package might be helpful (specifically the thicken function).

Hi @Shahin,

Your question is somewhat confusing and your data is not in the easiest format for us to help you. Can you post the code that you have tried to accomplish what you are trying to do? It would also be helpful to see an example of your desired output.

As for posting an example of your data, you can use dput() to get your output in a format that is very easy for us to copy it into our own sessions. With that being said, the dput() output for your example may be somewhat large, so if you can reduce your dataset to make it as minimal as possible while still containing the necessary columns, that would be helpful.

You can also check out the reprex package to help you create minimal reproducible examples. As that link says, "Help us help you"

@mara and @tbradley
Thank you very much! I tried the following code and it works. I need to transfer the data from one group to the next group based on following conditions. Do you have any suggestions?
I made group for each five minutes where date_chunk is grouping variable. min.value represent lower threshold of each group and max.value represents upper threshold.

tt %>%
  mutate(date_chunk = floor_date(Time.x - offset_for_floor, "5 mins") + 
                                     offset_for_floor)%>%
  group_by(date_chunk)%>%
  mutate( min.value = min(UNIX_Time.x),
          max.value = min.value + 300,
          T= case_when(
            T2<=min.value | T1>=max.value ~ max.value - min.value,
            T2<=min.value | T1<=max.value ~ T1 - min.value,
            T2>=min.value | T1>=max.value ~ max.value - T2,
            T2>=min.value | T1<=max.value ~ T1- T2),
            T2>=max.value | T1>=max.value ~ 0,
)

Could you put your attempt into a reprex (see the link in @tbradley's reply)?

It looks like you've got the logic there, it's just much easier to help you troubleshoot if you've got things wrapped up in a reprex so we can see input/output, and I'm not quite sure what you mean by "recommendation," as I can't tell what you're using currently. Sorry if I'm missing something.
