mfdb (version 7.4-0)

mfdb_aggregate_step_interval: MareFrame DB intervals

Description

Groups data into uniform intervals

Usage

mfdb_step_interval(prefix, by, from = 0, to = NULL, open_ended = FALSE)

Value

An mfdb_aggregate object that can then be used in querying functions such as mfdb_sample_count

Arguments

prefix

(required) A character prefix to prepend to minimum to create list names

by

(required) Increment of the sequence. NB: Must be an integer

from, to

Start / end of the sequence. Defaults to 0 / infinity respectively.

open_ended

If TRUE / c('upper'), the last group will ignore it's upper bound and include any value. If c('lower'), the first group will ignore it's lower bound include everything < the first value in vect. If c('upper', 'lower'), both the above occur. This is useful when creating plus groups for GADGET, as GADGET will still be presented a bounded group, but will contain all remaining data.

Examples

## Make groups of len0 (0--5), len5 (5--10), ... len45(45--50)
g1 <- mfdb_step_interval("len", 5, to = 50)

## Make groups of len0 (0--5), len5 (5--10), ... len45(45--50), len50(50--inf)
g2 <- mfdb_step_interval("len", 5, to = 50, open_ended = TRUE)
