I have a time-series dataset with yearly values for 30 years for >200,000 study units that all start off as the same value of 'healthy==1' and can transition to 3 classes - 'exposed==2', 'infected==3' and 'recover==4'; some units also remain as 'healthy' throughout the time series. The dataset is in long format.
I would like to manipulate the dataset that keeps all 30 years for each unit but collapsed to only 'heathy==1' and 'infected==3' i.e. I would classify 'exposed==2' as 'healthy==1' and the first time a 'healthy' unit gets 'infected==3', it remains as infected for the remaining of the time-series even though it might 'recover==4'/change state again (gets infected and recover again). Healthy units that never transition to another class will remain classified as healthy throughout the time series.
I am kinda stumped on how to code this out in r; any ideas would be greatly appreciated
example of dataset for two units; one remains health throughout the time series and another has multiple transitions.

If for some reason you only want to use base R,
df$annual_change_val[df$annual_change_val == 2] <- 1
df$annual_change_val[df$annual_change_val == 4] <- 3
The first line means: take the annual_change_val
column from ($
) dataframe df
, subset it ([
) so that you're only left with values equal to 2, and re-assign (<-
) to those a value of 1 instead. Similarly for the second line.
CodePudding user response:
Update, based on comment/clarification.
Here, I replace the values as before, and then I create a temp variable called max_inf
which holds the maximum year that the UID was "infected" (status=3). I then replace the status to 3 for any year that is beyond that year (within UID).
d %>%
mutate(status = if_else(annual_change_val %in% c(1,2),1,3)) %>%
group_by(UID) %>%
mutate(max_inf = max(year[which(status==3)],na.rm=T),
status = if_else(!is.na(max_inf) & year>max_inf & status==1,3,status)) %>%
select(!max_inf)
You can simply change the values from 2 to 1, and from 4 to 3, as Andrea mentioned in the comments. If d
is your data, then
library(dplyr)
d %>% mutate(status = if_else(annual_change_val %in% c(1,2),1,3))
library(data.table)
setDT(d)[, status:=fifelse(annual_change_val %in% c(1,2),1,3)]
