Checking if Date is Between two Dates in R
Solution 1
You may use foverlaps
from data.table
. Convert both the data.frame
s to data.table
with start/end
columns. Set the key column as the column names of each dataset. Use foverlaps
to get the numeric index which can be converted to binary match
based on the NA
values in it.
library(data.table)#v1.9.5+
dt1 <- data.table(ID=df1$ID, start=df1$actual.date, end=df1$actual.date)
setkeyv(dt1, colnames(dt1))
dt2 <- as.data.table(df2)
setnames(dt2, 2:3, c('start', 'end'))
setkeyv(dt2, colnames(dt2))
indx <- foverlaps(dt1, dt2, type='within', which=TRUE, mult='first')
dt1[, match:= +(!is.na(indx))][,end:=NULL]
setnames(dt1, 1:2, colnames(df1))
dt1
# ID actual.date match
#1: 1 1997-10-01 0
#2: 1 1998-02-01 1
#3: 1 2002-05-01 1
#4: 2 1999-07-01 0
#5: 3 2005-09-01 1
#6: 4 2003-02-03 1
#7: 4 2006-05-01 0
Solution 2
Here is a solution with dplyr
library(dplyr)
dat <- inner_join(df1, df2, by = "ID")
dat %>% rowwise() %>%
mutate(match = ifelse(between(actual.date, before.date, after.date), 1, 0)) %>%
select(-c(before.date, after.date)) %>%
arrange(actual.date, desc(match)) %>%
distinct(actual.date)
the output is slightly different because it order the actual.date
, maybe this is a problem, I'll delete my solution if the case.
Source: local data frame [7 x 3]
ID actual.date match
1 1 1997-10-01 0
2 1 1998-02-01 1
3 2 1999-07-01 0
4 1 2002-05-01 1
5 4 2003-02-03 1
6 3 2005-09-01 1
7 4 2006-05-01 0

I have two large datasets, df1 and df2. The first dataset, df1, contains the columns 'ID' and 'actual.data'.
df1 <- data.frame(ID=c(1,1,1,2,3,4,4), actual.date=c('10/01/1997','2/01/1998','5/01/2002','7/01/1999','9/01/2005','5/01/2006','2/03/2003')); dcis <- grep('date$',names(df1)); df1[dcis] <- lapply(df1[dcis],as.Date,'%m/%d/%Y'); df1; ID actual.date 1 1 1997-10-01 2 1 1998-02-01 3 1 2002-05-01 4 2 1999-07-01 5 3 2005-09-01 6 4 2006-05-01 7 4 2003-02-03
The second dataset, df2, contains two date fields, 'before,date' and 'after.date', which represent a start and end date, respectively:
df2 <- data.frame(ID=c(1,1,1,2,3,4,4,4), before.date=c('10/1/1996','1/1/1998','1/1/2000','1/1/2001','1/1/2001','1/1/2001','10/1/2004','10/3/2004'), after.date=c('12/1/1996','9/30/2003','12/31/2004','3/31/2006','9/30/2006','9/30/2005','12/30/2004','11/28/2004') ); dcis <- grep('date$',names(df2)); df2[dcis] <- lapply(df2[dcis],as.Date,'%m/%d/%Y'); df2; ID before.date after.date 1 1 1996-10-01 1996-12-01 2 1 1998-01-01 2003-09-30 3 1 2000-01-01 2004-12-31 4 2 2001-01-01 2006-03-31 5 3 2001-01-01 2006-09-30 6 4 2001-01-01 2005-09-30 7 4 2004-10-01 2004-12-30 8 4 2004-10-03 2004-11-28
My goal is to create a new column at the end of df1 named 'match' that indicates whether the 'actual.date' for each row in df1 is between the ‘before.date’ and ‘after.date’ of any of the observations of the same ID in df2. If it is between, I want to give the 'match' column a value of 1, otherwise 0 (includes instances with no 'ID' match).
This is the output I am hoping for:
ID before.date match 1 1 1997-10-01 0 2 1 1998-02-01 1 3 1 2002-05-01 1 4 2 1999-07-01 0 5 3 2005-09-01 1 7 4 2006-05-01 0 8 4 2003-02-03 1
I think this can be done with a for() loop, but I am not too knowledgeable about R.

akrun almost 9 yearsYou may use
foverlaps
fromdata.table

-
michael almost 9 yearsdoes this solution incorporate an outer join of the data?

michael almost 9 yearssomething went wrong. I got the error messages: 1)Error in foverlaps(dt1, dt2, type = "within", which = TRUE, mult = "first") : length(by.x) != length(by.y). Columns specified in by.x should correspond to columns specified in by.y and should be of same lengths. 2)Error in setnames(dt1, 1:2, colnames(merged_combined_files12)) : 'old' is length 2 but 'new' is length 25. I looked at my data and there are only three columns showing: 'ID', 'start', and 'match'. And for 'match' there is a value of 1 for every single row
-
akrun almost 9 years@michael If you look at both the datasets
dt1
anddt2
, the column names are the same. I am using thedevel
version ofdata.table
. Did you get the error with the example data (which worked fine for me)? -
michael almost 9 yearsyeah, but i get the error using my data. I was going to use dput but I forgot how to use it and you deleted your comment in the other post

-
akrun almost 9 years@michael The command is
dput(droplevels(head(yourdata,20)))
for each datasets -
michael almost 9 yearsdo i need to move the columns to the end of my real dataset? i noticed that foverlaps requires this.
-
michael almost 9 yearsbefore you included columns in the dput function as well
-
akrun almost 9 years@michael How many columns do you have in the original dataset?. We only need the
start
,end
and also the ID columns as in my post -
michael almost 9 yearsmovetolast <- function(data, move) { data[c(setdiff(names(data), move), move)] } movetolast(df, c("before.date", "end.date"))
-
michael almost 9 yearsi have varying column lengths in d1 and d2. I need all variables from d1 and d2 in the join. I want it to be an outer join so using something like foverlaps(df1, df2, type = "within", nomatch =NA) would be better
-
akrun almost 9 years@michael In the example you showed also, it has varying rows.
8
vs7
. What I meant is that you need to get onlymatch
column, for which you needstart,
end` and possiblyID
columns. The end results can be joined later with the original datasets -
michael almost 9 yearsi have included sample data
-
michael almost 9 yearsstart - restatedperiodbegin end - restatedperiodended ID - cikcode actual- yearendeddate
-
SabDeM almost 9 years@michael it join the data, I've used the
inner_join
function. I do know... when I developed the solution it seemed an easy way. -
michael almost 9 yearsUnrelated, but do you have any idea why the data in my column is deleted when trying to convert convert factors and chararacters to dates? for instance, i try df2$restatedperiodbegin <- as.Date(df2$restatedperiodbegin, "%m/%d/%")

Lazarus Thurston over 6 yearsI get the following error
Error in mutate_impl(.data, dots) : Evaluation error: Expecting a single value: [extent=170]..
when I usebetween
anddplyr
together. Basically your this statement does not work in the new version of dplyr.mutate(match = ifelse(between(actual.date, before.date, after.date), 1, 0))
