Re: [R] How to optimize this loop ?

Given a series of observations, I want to know how many consecutive past observations are below the last one. prune=function(m) { mr=rev(m) ms=cumsum(mr mr[1]) sum(seq_along(ms) - ms == 1) - 1 } prune(c(3, 4, 10, 14, 8, 3, 4, 8, 9)) # 4 prune(c(3, 4, 10, 14, 8, 3, 4, 11, 9)) # 0 Heikki

[R] How to optimize this loop ?

Dear R Users, I request your help to optimize a loop. Given a series of observations, I want to know how many consecutive past observations are below the last one. e.g : my_series - c(3, 4, 10,14,8,3,4,6,9) As the last number (9) is higher than the four preceding numbers (6, 4, 3, 8), this

Thanks to everyone who answered, in public or in private. I successfully rewrote my function with rle. For my sample, the total computation times (I call this function around 1000 times) are roughly the same. However, I thank you for letting me know rle, and S Poetry. Regards, Nicolas
