Selecting a row of data by closest time in R

Time:08-12

In this dataset I want to get the entire row for a corresponding sample moment. Say the sample moment is t=100, I want the corresponding row of data. However, the time column does not consist of neat numbers, and I have a measurement at t = 99.7 and t= 101.1 (or something like that). How do i get the samplemoment closest to t=100 out of my dataset?

Something like:

samplemoment = 100
test_samplemoment = test[samplemoment,] 

However, since my measurements are every 2 seconds instead of every second. I'd need to give a correction:

test_samplemoment = test[(samplemoment/2),] 

This does not reliably give the row of data closest to t=100 however, and I can't really come up with a better alternative that is reliable with different datasets like this.

I have the following dataset called test:

You can also use which.min() from base R.

test[which.min(abs(100-test$time)),]

   time    v     a    t1    t2    t3    t4    t5     t6   t7    t8
   <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
51 99.3  15.86 0.001 0.95   1.2  1.08  1.182 1.13  1.048 0.94  0.95

This will return a row from the test -dataframe that has a value closest to the value of 100 in the column time.

CodePudding user response:

We could compare the absolut difference of time and 100 with the min of this difference:

library(dplyr)

test %>% 
  filter(abs(time-100)==min(abs(time-100)))

   time     v     a    t1    t2    t3    t4    t5    t6    t7    t8
  <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
