R 中日期的 else 语句

If else statements for dates in R

您好,我正在尝试在我的数据框中创建一个新列来表示 "if 'SightDate' is between 7-15 and 2-15 return TRUE 1 else FALSE [0]",但似乎无法在 r 中找到日期函数的语法。这是我到目前为止所拥有的。

#convert SightDate to Month-Day
sightingsData$SightMonthDay <- strptime(as.character(sightingsData$SightDate), "%m/%d/%Y")
sightingsData$SightMonthDay <- format.Date(sightingsData$SightMonthDay, "%m-%d")

#Get whether or not sighting occured during the proposed work period
startWork <- as.Date("07-15", format = "%m-%d")
endWork <- as.Date("02-15", format = "%m-%d")

sightingsData$WorkPeriod = ifelse(sightingsData$SightMonthDay >= startWork & sightingsData$SightMonthDay <= endWork, 1, 0)

我收到这个错误

Error in charToDate(x) : 
  character string is not in a standard unambiguous format

我不确定为什么,因为当我去掉逗号时,我得到的是 "unexpected numeral 1"。

此外,我正在尝试使用我在论坛上找到的函数为我的数据分配季节。但我正在为 R 中的日期分配而苦苦挣扎,似乎无法理解它。我希望能够将季节分配包含在标题为 "SightSeason" 或类似名称的新列中。

sightingsData$sightSeason <- getSeason(sightingsData$SightMonthDay)

但似乎看不出我将在下面的函数中解释它的位置......在我将我的 sightingsData$SightData 转换为 2016 年值之前或之后或之后。这让我犹豫不决,我想知道我是否应该创建一个中间列,我可以在其中存储我的 sightingsData$SightDate 到 2016 年值的转换——类似于 sightingsData$2016Sight 这样我就不会永久改变我的 df。这个我不是很清楚。对于漫无边际,我深表歉意,但我不确定如何澄清我的问题。任何人,这是 "get seasons function":

### Assign SightMonthDay to Season using 2016 Season Data
getSeason <- function(DATES)
  WS <- as.Date("2016-12-21", format = "%Y-%m-%d") # Winter Solstice
  SE <- as.Date("2016-3-19",  format = "%Y-%m-%d") # Spring Equinox
  SS <- as.Date("2016-6-20",  format = "%Y-%m-%d") # Summer Solstice
  FE <- as.Date("2016-9-22",  format = "%Y-%m-%d") # Fall Equinox

# Convert dates from any year to 2016 dates
d <- as.Date(strftime(DATES, format="2016-%m-%d"))

ifelse (d >= WS | d < SE, "Winter",
        ifelse (d >= SE & d < SS, "Spring",
                ifelse (d >= SS & d < FE, "Summer", "Fall")))

任何关于我如何应用该函数的见解,或者如果您知道将季节分配给我的数据集的不同方法,将不胜感激!澄清一下,我使用 2016 年是因为它是最后一个有完整冬至和春分数据的闰年。

这是我数据的 20 个观察随机样本:

       SightDate SightMonthDay
17092 10/23/2017         10-23
129    3/13/2009         03-13
20671  1/17/2018         01-17

以及 dput(SampleData) 的输出

> dput(droplevels(SampleData[1:20, ]))
structure(list(SightDate = structure(c(1L, 16L, 18L, 7L, 8L, 
19L, 10L, 6L, 9L, 14L, 13L, 5L, 15L, 2L, 3L, 17L, 4L, 11L, 12L, 
20L), .Label = c("10/13/2015", "10/28/2017", "11/10/2018", "11/2/2018",

"04-04", "04-15", "11-29", "05-01", "10-28", "11-10", "08-18", 
"11-02", "03-22", "03-25", "09-18")), row.names = c(9977L, 11703L, 
15804L, 6177L, 12954L, 9707L, 10774L, 19559L, 18897L, 6546L, 
21349L, 4797L, 14169L, 17403L, 23014L, 9410L, 22758L, 8440L, 
2854L, 15886L), class = "data.frame")

抱歉,我不太清楚如何 post 我的数据样本供其他人操作。

感谢您的宝贵时间!

您不需要 SightMonthDay 列。

#Function to get season
getSeason <- function(d) {
   WS <- as.Date("2016-12-21") # Winter Solstice
   SE <- as.Date("2016-3-19") # Spring Equinox
   SS <- as.Date("2016-6-20") # Summer Solstice
   FE <- as.Date("2016-9-22") # Fall Equinox

 ifelse (d >= WS | d < SE, "Winter",
      ifelse (d >= SE & d < SS, "Spring",
              ifelse (d >= SS & d < FE, "Summer", "Fall")))
}
#Change to standard date format
SampleData$date <- as.Date(SampleData$SightDate, format = '%m/%d/%Y')
#Make date of the same year i.e 2016

#Get season for each date.
