n_between_intervals: Find maximum value within intervals

Description

This function searches for the maximum value within a distribution (represented by vector x) that falls within a series of intervals specified by the vector intervals.

Usage

n_between_intervals(x, intervals, time_in)

Value

A numeric vector containing the maximum value within each interval specified by 'intervals'. If no values fall within an interval, returns 0 for that interval.

Arguments

x

A numeric vector representing the distribution from which to find the maximum value within intervals.

intervals

A numeric vector specifying the intervals within which to search for the maximum value.

time_in

A numeric vector representing the corresponding time points for the values in the vector x, which is used to determine whether the values fall within the specified intervals.

Examples

# Create a vector of data with a logarithmically increasing distribution
log_data <- round(exp(seq(log(1), log(100), length.out = 100)))

# Define intervals to cover the range 1-100
intervals <- seq(1, 100, by = 20)

# Create a corresponding time vector
time_in <- seq(1, 100, length.out = 100)

# Find maximum value within intervals
n_between_intervals(log_data, intervals, time_in)
