I've run into a problem with my understanding of unnest on a particular dataset and after numerous attempts to resolve it via Stack Overflow, blogs and tons of Googling, I step away from the problem. I'm certain its my lack of understanding but I'm hoping asking this here, helps others.
I have a dataframe -- simplified here as I haven't figured out a simple way to provide code to create it. It has a column of names and then two columns of lists representing input and output observations with their timestamps (seconds since the epoch) and values:
> str(unnestquestion)
'data.frame': 3 obs. of 3 variables:
$ Input:List of 3
..$ : num [1:3, 1:2] 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 5.00e+05 NA ...
..$ : num [1:3, 1:2] 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 3.39e+05 NA ...
..$ : num [1:3, 1:2] 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 4.60e+06 NA ...
$ Ouput:List of 3
..$ : num [1:3, 1:2] 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 4.22e+06 NA ...
..$ : num [1:3, 1:2] 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 7.46e+06 NA ...
..$ : num [1:3, 1:2] 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 1.51e+09 2.39e+07 NA ...
$ name : chr "CIR0019209" "CIR0019431" "CIR0006077"
I've dreamt I resolved this in the past but my RStudio had 50 open tabs and I over aggressively cleaned it up recently.
