split join data.table R












2















Objective



Join DT1 (as i in data.table) to DT2 given key(s) column(s), within each group of DT2 specified by the Date column.



I cannot run DT2[DT1, on = 'key'] as that would be incorrect since key column is repeated across the Date column, but unique within a single date.



Reproducible example with a working solution



DT3 is my expected output. Is there any way to achieve this without the split manoeuvre, which does not feel very data.table-y? 



library(data.table)

set.seed(1)

DT1 <- data.table(

  Segment  = sample(paste0('S', 1:10), 100, TRUE), 

  Activity = sample(paste0('A', 1:5), 100, TRUE), 

  Value    = runif(100)

)

dates <- seq(as.Date('2018-01-01'), as.Date('2018-11-30'), by = '1 day')

DT2 <- data.table(

  Date    = rep(dates, each = 5), 

  Segment = sample(paste0('S', 1:10), 3340, TRUE), 

  Total   = runif(3340, 1, 2)

)

rm(dates)

# To ensure that each Date Segment combination is unique

DT2 <- unique(DT2, by = c('Date', 'Segment'))

iDT2 <- split(DT2, by = 'Date')

iDT2 <- lapply(

  iDT2, 

  function(x) {

    x[DT1, on = 'Segment', nomatch = 0]

  }

)

DT3 <- rbindlist(iDT2, use.names = TRUE)

  • Date does not exist in DT1. Hence, can't be used to merge

You can achieve the same result with a cartesian merge:



DT4 <- merge(DT2,DT1,by='Segment',allow.cartesian = TRUE)


Here is the proof:



> all(DT3[order(Segment,Date,Total,Activity,Value),

          c('Segment','Date','Total','Activity','Value')] == 

      DT4[order(Segment,Date,Total,Activity,Value),

          c('Segment','Date','Total','Activity','Value')])



[1] TRUE

Full-time equivalent

Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts. FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
