Question

我有一个由客户交易数据组成的数据集。它具有某些事件发生时的时间戳。我想只获得在某个事件发生之前发生的事件，但是每个客户，而不仅仅是一个时间点。

这是一张快照：

      custId         date_time_recorded              event           dateTime1

我只想获得“发货”活动之前发生的事件。我目前正在使用ddply来实现这一目标，但这需要很长时间。

keepPreShip <- function(x){
shipTime <- fastPOSIXct(x[grep("shipped", x$event, ignore.case = T), "date_time_recorded"],tz = "UTC")
#shipTime <- fastPOSIXct(x[x$event =="shipped", "date_time_recorded"],tz = "UTC")
x <- x[x$dateTime1 < shipTime,]
}

system.time(eventsMain1 <- ddply(ss1, .(custId), keepPreShip ))

有更快的方法吗？也许与data.table？

以下是dput数据：

> dput(ss1)
structure(list(custId = c(280512544L, 280512544L, 280512544L, 
280512544L, 280512544L, 280512544L, 280512544L, 280512544L, 280510610L,

280510610L, 280511123L, 280511123L, 280511123L, 280511123L), 
    date_time_recorded = c("2012-11-13 15:25:37.947-08", "2012-11-13 15:22:42.614-08",

Answer 1

这很有效。我希望它更快。

require(data.table)
# convert this column to date format first
ss1$date_time_recorded <- as.POSIXct(ss1$date_time_recorded)
dt <- data.table(ss1, key="custId")
dt[, .SD[dateTime1 < date_time_recorded[event == "shipped"]], by=custId]

#       custId  date_time_recorded         event           dateTime1
# 1: 280510610 2012-11-13 06:42:10 recordCreated 2012-11-13 06:42:10
# 2: 280511123 2012-11-13 12:42:08   statusCheck 2012-11-13 12:42:08
# 3: 280511123 2012-11-13 12:28:51   statusCheck 2012-11-13 12:28:51
# 4: 280512544 2012-11-13 13:05:15 recordCreated 2012-11-13 13:05:15
