[R] complicated IF

[jim holtman]

Here's one way of doing it.  Does not use "complicated" IFs; just
splits the data and works on it.

> x <- read.table(text = "       Date nrec
+
+ 1 2011-07-17  667
+
+ 2 2011-07-18  266
+
+ 3 2009-10-29   29
+
+ 4 2009-10-30  211
+
+ 5 2009-10-31  237
+
+ 6 2009-11-01  898", header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE)
> # convert to Date
> x$Date <- as.Date(x$Date)
> # add week of year
> x$week <- format(x$Date, "%Y%W")
> # add the day of week
> x$day <- format(x$Date, "%w")
> # process each week, substituting the mean if Sunday exists
> result <- do.call(rbind
+     , lapply(split(x, x$week), function(.week){
+         means <- mean(.week$nrec[.week$day %in% c('0', '5', '6')])
+         .week$nrec[.week$day == '0'] <- means
+         .week
+         })
+     )
>
>
> result
               Date     nrec   week day
200943.3 2009-10-29  29.0000 200943   4

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
