How to rollback 12 month for each month and summarise

Rscotty · 2017-12-25T05:11:24.966Z

Sample data at the bottom of the page.

My goal is following:

for each month look back last 12 months and filter the data based on it. For an example, if we pick 2017-11-01. Therefore 12 months back from it is 2016-12-01. So filter data from period 2016-12-01 to 2017-11-01
Within that 12 month period, count how many Unique ID are there for each Group
Repeat above for each month in the dataframe i.e go back 12 month for each month in the dataset and get the count of Unique ID for each Group

If successfully executed above points, I can plot line graph with date on x axis and count of Unique ID for each Group on y axis for each month.

My attempt:

foo %>% 
  filter(Date >= "2016-12-01" &  Date <= "2017-11-01") %>% 
  group_by(ID, Group) %>% 
  count() %>% 
  group_by(Group) %>% 
  count

Output:
Min 2
sport 6
Xox 41

Above output is for 2017-11-01. However, my goal is to repeat this process for each month and store it in a dataframe so that I can draw a line plot.

Any help from the community is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here is my sample dataframe:

For complete data just in case months not enough to go back 12 months: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xslrswrys0hkl32/foo_complete.csv?dl=0

It would be better is you included a reprex of your code instead of pasting your code into the message. As is the quotes in your example are hard to deal with.

Artichaud1 · 2017-12-25T18:49:32.538Z

My suggestion is to extract year and month, arrange the dataframe by them, the use stats::filter to do a 12 montha rolling sum.

Rscotty · 2017-12-25T20:28:13.004Z

Inserted sample data using reprex. Thanks @danr for the advise

henningsway · 2017-12-26T01:13:00.725Z

maybe this package will be able help you:https://business-science.github.io/tibbletime?

yutannihilation · 2017-12-26T10:20:53.840Z

I don't think this is very efficient, but if I do this I will fill every day with NA first and calculate the rolling sum.

Is this the output you're looking for?:

# A tibble: 26 x 4
     Min sport   Xox     period
   <int> <int> <int>     <date>
 1     2     4    50 2017-07-01

Never mind ... now I see what you are looking for...

Rscotty · 2017-12-27T06:30:25.726Z

Yes! Thank you so much @edgararuiz . This solves my problem - this really speeds up my work productivity.

One quick question - could you please explain how .x works. E.g. filter(Date >= (ymd(.x) - dyears(1)) & Date <= .x)

tbradley · 2017-12-27T13:57:11.226Z

.x represents each iteration of unique(foo$Date). Essentially, @edgararuiz's code is taking each unique datetime and iterating over it. so the .x represents the current month that is being used at any given iteration.

Additionally, you could use map_df rather than map and exclude the bind_rows call since map_df by default combines the output of map into a dataframe, i.e. map_df takes care of the map() %>% bind_rows() for you.

edgararuiz · 2017-12-27T14:23:06.484Z

Hi @Rscotty, I'm glad that worked for you!

A small addition to @tbradley explanation, what has helped me with using map is to picture .x as the variable you would use in in a for loop. So, instead of having to always come up with a name, map has fixed that to be .x

for(.x in letters){
  print(.x)
}

@tbradley - Thanks for the tip on map_df!

@tbradley @edgararuiz Thank you all.
