Re: [R] Better way of writing R code
Dear Sir, Thanks a lot for your great help. Do appreciate it a lot. In my earlier mail, where I had attached some files, I have realized yesterday that instead of sending the R code customized by me based on your guidance, I had by mistake attached the contents of email. I do apologize to you for the same. Thanks once again and sorry for the inconvenience caused by me.

I think it varies with the mail-client and how it labels the type of each attachment. At one time I read that "text" files needed to labeled as MIME-text to pass scrutiny, so it's possible that some mailers will send .R files in an acceptable fashion but not others. I have tried to find where this is documented but have failed. It may have been one of the changes to the Posting Guide that occurred a couple of years ago. I know from experience that most attempts to send c-s-v files with a .csv extension will fail, but that when sent with .txt extensions will succeed. I think .jpeg files (and perhaps .ps) may make it through intact. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Hi, You can preserve the order using join(). Though, in this case, merge would be easier. library(plyr) both<- join(currency_df,rate_df,type="left") names(both)[14:15]<- paste0("currency_",names(both)[14:15]) names(rate_df)[2]<- "other_currency" both2<- join(both,rate_df,type="left",by=c("other_currency","tenor")) names(both2)[16:17]<- paste0("other_currency_",names(both2)[16:17]) A.K. - Original Message - From: "Adams, Jean" To: Katherine Gobin Cc: R help Sent: Friday, April 5, 2013 9:40 AM Subject: Re: [R] Better way of writing R code Katherine, To preserve the original order, you could create a new variable for the currency data frame (BEFORE the merges), then use this variable to reorder at the end. currency_df$orig.order <- 1:dim(currency_df)[1] You can do another merge for the other currency, you just need to specify the columns that you want to merge by.

Dear Sirs, I sincerely apologize for the blunder at my end. Problem is I was told that one cannot or should not send any ATTACHMENTS. In the past, when I had tried to attach some files and the message was displayed less the attachment. Also, at times it becomes very difficult to attach the csv file. As my input files contain the csv files and since I was under the impression that we cannot attach the files to this forum. I once again apologize to all of you for the inconvenience caused.

Re: [R] Better way of writing R code
Katherine, You don't need to convert rate_df into tabular form. You just need to categorize each row in currency_df into a "tenor". Then you can merge the two data frames (by currency and tenor). For example ... # convert dates to R dates, to calculate the number of days to maturity # I am assuming this is the number of days from the current date to the maturity date currency_df$maturity <- as.Date(currency_df$maturity_date, "%d/%m/%Y") currency_df$current <- as.Date(currency_df$current_date, "%d/%m/%Y") currency_df$days2mature <- as.numeric(currency_df$maturity - currency_df$current) # categorize the number of days to maturity as you wish # you may need to change the breaks= option to suit your needs # read about the cut function to make sure you get the cut points included in the proper category, ?cut currency_df$tenor <- cut(currency_df$days2mature, breaks=c(0, 1, 7, 14, seq(from=30.5, length=12, by=30.5)), labels=c("1 day", "1 week", "2 weeks", "1 month", paste(2:12, "months"))) # merge the currency_df and rate_df # this will work better with real data, since the example data you provided didn't have matching tenors both <- merge(currency_df, rate_df, all.x=TRUE) Jean On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 5:21 AM, Katherine Gobin wrote: > Dear R forum, > > (Pl note this is not a finance problem) > > I have two data.frames as > > currency_df = data.frame(current_date = c("3/4/2013", "3/4/2013", > "3/4/2013", "3/4/2013"), issue_date = c("27/11/2012", "9/12/2012", > "14/01/2013", "28/02/2013"), maturity_date = c("27/04/2013", "3/5/2013", > "14/6/2013", "28/06/2013"), currency = c("USD", "USD", "GBP", "SEK"), > other_currency = c("EURO", "CAD", "CHF", "USD"), transaction = c("Buy", > "Buy", "Sell", "Buy"), units_currency = c(10, 25000, 15, 4), > units_other_currency = c(78000, 25350, 99200, 6150)) > > rate_df = > data.frame(date = > c("28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013","25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013", > "25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013","25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013", > > "25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013","25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013", > "25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013","25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013", > "25/3/2013","28/3/2013","27/3/2013","26/3/2013","25/3/2013"), > > currency = c("USD","USD","USD","USD", "USD", "USD", > "USD","USD","USD","USD", "USD","USD", > "GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP","GBP", "GBP","GBP", "GBP","GBP", > "EURO","EURO","EURO","EURO","EURO","EURO","EURO", "EURO", "EURO","EURO", > "EURO","EURO"), > > tenor = c("1 day","1 day","1 day","1 day","1 week","1 week","1 week","1 > week","2 weeks","2 weeks","2 weeks","2 weeks","1 day","1 day","1 day","1 > day","1 week","1 week","1 week","1 week","2 weeks","2 weeks","2 weeks","2 > weeks","1 day","1 day","1 day","1 day","1 week","1 week","1 week","1 > week","2 weeks","2 weeks","2 weeks","2 weeks"), > > rate = > c(0.156,0.157,0.157,0.155,0.1752,0.1752,0.1752,0.1752,0.1752,0.1752,0.1752, > 0.1752,0.48625, > 0.485,0.48625,0.4825,0.49,0.49125,0.4925,0.49,0.49375,0.49125,0.4925, > 0.49125,0.02643,0.02214, > 0.02214,0.01929,0.034,0.034,0.034125,0.034,0.044,0.044, 0.041,0.045)) > > # ___ > > # 1st data.frame > > > currency_df > current_date issue_date maturity_date currency > 1 3/4/2013 27/11/201227/04/2013 USD > 2 3/4/2013 9/12/2012 3/5/2013 USD > 3 3/4/2013 14/01/2013 14/6/2013 GBP > 4 3/4/2013 28/02/201328/06/2013 SEK > other_currency transaction units_currency > 1 > EURO Buy 10 > 2CAD Buy 25000 > 3CHFSell 15 > 4USD Buy 4 > units_other_currency > 178000 > 2 > 25350 > 399200 > 4 6150 > > # > ... > > # 2nd data.frame > > > rate_df > date currency tenor rate > 1 28/3/2013 USD 1 day 0.156000 > 2 27/3/2013 USD 1 day 0.157000 > 3 26/3/2013 USD 1 day 0.157000 > 4 25/3/2013 USD 1 day 0.155000 > 5 28/3/2013 USD 1 week 0.175200 > 6 27/3/2013 USD 1 week > 0.175200 > 7 26/3/2013 USD 1 week 0.175200 > 8 25/3/2013 USD 1 week 0.175200 > 9 28/3/2013 USD 2 weeks 0.175200 > 10 27/3/2013 USD 2 weeks 0.175200 > 11 26/3/2013 USD 2 weeks 0.175200 > 12 25/3/2013 USD 2 weeks 0.175200 > 13 28/3/2013 GBP 1 day 0.486250 > 14 27/3/2013 GBP 1 day 0.485000 > 15 26/3/2013 GBP 1 day 0.486250 > 16 25/3/2013 GBP 1 day 0.482500 > 17 28/3/2013 GBP 1 week 0.49 > 18 27/3/2013 GBP 1 week 0.491250 > 19 26/3/2013 GBP 1 week 0.492500 > 20 > 25/3/2013 GBP 1 week 0.49 > 21 28/3/2013 GBP 2 weeks 0.493750 > 22 27/3/2013 GBP 2 weeks 0.491250 > 2
