如何通过具有多个单位的输出获得时差

Question

美好的一天，

我在 as.POSIXct 中有两个日期列，格式为 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS。我想获得两者之间的差异，以天数 Hours:Seconds 的格式显示。这是一些虚拟数据：

    a<-c("2018-03-20 11:52:25 AST", "2018-03-20 12:51:25 AST", "2018-03-20 14:19:04 AST",
"2018-03-21 14:12:12 AST", "2018-03-21 12:09:22 AST", "2018-03-21 15:28:01 AST")

b<-c("2018-04-09 18:39:38 AST", "2018-06-23 19:13:14 AST", "2018-03-20 23:23:03 AST",
     "2018-05-10 21:29:28 AST", "2018-03-22 03:17:23 AST", "2018-05-12 00:19:39 AST")

ab<-data.frame(a,b)

给出了这个数据框：

                        a                       b
 2018-03-20 11:52:25 AST 2018-04-09 18:39:38 AST
 2018-03-20 12:51:25 AST 2018-06-23 19:13:14 AST
 2018-03-20 14:19:04 AST 2018-03-20 23:23:03 AST
 2018-03-21 14:12:12 AST 2018-05-10 21:29:28 AST
 2018-03-21 12:09:22 AST 2018-03-22 03:17:23 AST
 2018-03-21 15:28:01 AST 2018-05-12 00:19:39 AST

我想得到 a 和 b 之间的差值，或者用时间 b 减去时间 a 得到 X 天 X 小时: X 秒的输出。

我在下面使用了 difftime，并设置了不同的单位：

ab$time_difference<-difftime(ab$b, ab$a)
ab
                            a                       b   time_difference
     2018-03-20 11:52:25 AST 2018-04-09 18:39:38 AST  486.786944 hours
     2018-03-20 12:51:25 AST 2018-06-23 19:13:14 AST 2286.363611 hours
     2018-03-20 14:19:04 AST 2018-03-20 23:23:03 AST    9.066389 hours
     2018-03-21 14:12:12 AST 2018-05-10 21:29:28 AST 1207.287778 hours
     2018-03-21 12:09:22 AST 2018-03-22 03:17:23 AST   15.133611 hours
     2018-03-21 15:28:01 AST 2018-05-12 00:19:39 AST 1232.860556 hours

我也试过以下方法：

ab$time_difference<-difftime(ab$b, ab$a,units=c("days","hours","seconds"))

但是得到的错误是 'units' 的长度必须为 1。我应该使用不同的命令吗，或者 difftime 有什么方法可以产生更精确的时间差吗？

谢谢！

Answer 1

hms库可以在这里提供一些帮助：

library(hms)
as.hms(ab$time_difference, format="%H:%M:S")
# 486:47:13
# 2286:21:49
# 09:03:59
# 1207:17:16
# 15:08:01
# 1232:51:38

请参阅此问题了解其他选项：Outputting difftime as HH:MM:SS:mm in R

这是上述问题的答案中的代码：

Fmt <- function(x) UseMethod("Fmt")
Fmt.difftime <- function(x) {
   units(x) <- "secs"
   x <- unclass(x)
   NextMethod()
}
Fmt.default <- function(x) {
   y <- abs(x)
   sprintf("%s%02d:%02d:%02d:%02d", 
           ifelse(x < 0, "-", ""), # sign
           y %/% 86400,  # days
           y %% 86400 %/% 3600,  # hours 
           y %% 3600 %/% 60,  # minutes
           y %% 60 %/% 1) # seconds
}


a<-c("2018-03-20 11:52:25 AST", "2018-03-20 12:51:25 AST", "2018-03-20 14:19:04 AST",
     "2018-03-21 14:12:12 AST", "2018-03-21 12:09:22 AST", "2018-03-21 15:28:01 AST")

b<-c("2018-04-09 18:39:38 AST", "2018-06-23 19:13:14 AST", "2018-03-20 23:23:03 AST",
     "2018-05-10 21:29:28 AST", "2018-03-22 03:17:23 AST", "2018-05-12 00:19:39 AST")
ab<-data.frame(a,b)

#Passing two dates to  the function(s)
Fmt(as.POSIXct(ab$b)-as.POSIXct(ab$a))
#Passing a time difference in seconds
Fmt(difftime(ab$b, ab$a, units="secs"))

这里的关键是运行脚本开头的函数定义代码，这样函数就可以使用了。

require(lubridate)

a<-c("2018-03-20 11:52:25 AST", "2018-03-20 12:51:25 AST", "2018-03-20 14:19:04 AST",
     "2018-03-21 14:12:12 AST", "2018-03-21 12:09:22 AST", "2018-03-21 15:28:01 AST")

b<-c("2018-04-09 18:39:38 AST", "2018-06-23 19:13:14 AST", "2018-03-20 23:23:03 AST",

# Make df

因为你想要天、小时、分钟、秒，我们可以用 lubridate 包得到这个结果：

a<-c("2018-03-20 11:52:25 AST", "2018-03-20 12:51:25 AST", "2018-03-20 14:19:04 AST",
 "2018-03-21 14:12:12 AST", "2018-03-21 12:09:22 AST", "2018-03-21 15:28:01 AST")

b<-c("2018-04-09 18:39:38 AST", "2018-06-23 19:13:14 AST", "2018-03-20 23:23:03 AST",
 "2018-05-10 21:29:28 AST", "2018-03-22 03:17:23 AST", "2018-05-12 00:19:39 AST")

a = as.POSIXct(a)
b = as.POSIXct(b)

library(lubridate)
timespan = interval(ymd_hms(ab[,1]), ymd_hms(ab[,2]))
> as.period(timespan)
[1] "20d 6H 47M 13S"    "3m 3d 6H 21M 49S"  "9H 3M 59S"         "1m 19d 7H 17M 16S"
[5] "15H 8M 1S"         "1m 20d 8H 51M 38S"

如果需要，我们可以通过指定格式将月数转换为天数：

> as.period(timespan, unit = "day")
[1] "20d 6H 47M 13S" "95d 6H 21M 49S" "9H 3M 59S"      "50d 7H 17M 16S"
[5] "15H 8M 1S"      "51d 8H 51M 38S"

Answer 4

使用sprintf和模运算：

# first, be sure to specify units in difftime, or it will internally
#   choose units for each row
# using 'secs' here since it's the lowest common denominator
# wrapping as.double() to remove the class attribute which will
#   screw up dispatch to Ops below
ab$time_difference <- as.double(difftime(ab$b, ab$a, units = 'secs'))

#  3600 =   60*60 seconds in an hour;
# 86400 = 3600*24 seconds in a day
ab$hms = with(ab, sprintf('%d days; %d hours; %d seconds',
                          time_difference %/% 86400L,
                          (time_difference %% 86400L) %/% 3600L,
                          time_difference %% 3600L))
ab$hms
# [1] "20 days; 6 hours; 2833 seconds" "95 days; 6 hours; 1309 seconds"
# [3] "0 days; 9 hours; 239 seconds"   "50 days; 7 hours; 1036 seconds"
# [5] "0 days; 15 hours; 481 seconds"  "51 days; 8 hours; 3098 seconds"

我选择了一个特别冗长的输出格式只是为了说明；当然，这里的构建块是用来滚动你自己的，记住你应该用 %02d 替换 %d （例如）左-0-将输出填充到 2 数字。
