R: Adding zeroes after old zeroes in a vector?

Imagine I have a vector with ones and zeroes

I write it compactly:

111111110000111开发者_开发技巧1111111110000000001111111111100101

I need to get a new vector replacing the "N" ones following the zeroes to new zeroes.

For example for N = 3.

1111111100001111111111110000000001111111111100101 becomes 1111111100000001111111110000000000001111111100000

I can do it with a for loop but I've read is not a good practice, How can I do it then?

cheers

My vector is a zoo series, indeed, but I guess it doesn't make any difference. If I wanted zeroes up to end I would use cumprod.


You can also do this with rle. All you need to do is add n to all the lengths where the value is 0 and subtract n when the value is 1 (being a little bit careful when there are less than n ones in a row). (Using Greg's method to construct the sample)

rr <- rle(tmp)
## Pad so that it always begins with 1 and ends with 1
if (rr$values[1] == 0) {
   rr$values <- c(1, rr$values)
   rr$lengths <- c(0, rr$lengths)  
}
if (rr$values[length(rr$values)] == 0) {
  rr$values <- c(rr$values, 1)
  rr$lengths <- c(rr$lengths, 0)  
}
zero.indices <- seq(from=2, to=length(rr$values), by=2)
one.indices <- seq(from=3, to=length(rr$values), by=2)
rr$lengths[zero.indices] <- rr$lengths[zero.indices] + pmin(rr$lengths[one.indices], n)
rr$lengths[one.indices] <- pmax(0, rr$lengths[one.indices] - n)
inverse.rle(rr)


How about just looping through the (assuming few) N instances:

addZeros <- function(x, N = 3) {
    xx <- x
    z <- x - 1
    for (i in 1:N) {
        xx <- xx + c(rep(0, i), z[-c((NROW(x) - i + 1):NROW(x))])
    }
    xx[xx<0] <- 0
    xx
}

Simply turns all zero instances into -1 in order to subtract the N succeeding values.

> x <- c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,1)
> x
 [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1
[39] 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
> addZeros(x)
 [1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
[39] 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0

EDIT:

After reading your description of the data in the R-help mailing list, this clearly is not a case of small N. Hence, you might want to consider a C function for this.

In the file "addZeros.c":

void addZeros(int *x, int *N, int *n)
{
    int i, j;

    for (i = *n - 1; i > 0; i--)
    {
        if ((x[i - 1] == 0) && (x[i] == 1))
        {
            j = 0;
            while ((j < *N) && (i + j < *n) && (x[i + j] == 1))
            {
                x[i + j] = 0;
                j++;
            }
        }
    }
}

In command prompt (MS DOS in Windows, press Win+r and write cmd), write "R CMD SHLIB addZeros.c". If the path to R is not attainable (i.e. "unknown kommand R") you need to state full address (on my system:

"c:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin\R.exe" CMD SHLIB addZeros.c

On Windows this should produce a DLL (.so in Linux), but if you do not already have the R-toolbox you should download and install it (it is a collection of tools, such as Perl and Mingw). Download the newest version from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/

The R wrapper function for this would be:

addZeros2 <- function(x, N) {
    if (!is.loaded("addZeros"))
        dyn.load(file.path(paste("addZeros", .Platform$dynlib.ext, sep = "")))
    .C("addZeros",
        x = as.integer(x),
        as.integer(N),
        as.integer(NROW(x)))$x
}

Note that the working directory in R should be the same as the DLL (on my system setwd("C:/Users/eyjo/Documents/Forrit/R/addZeros")) before the addZeros R function is called the first time (alternatively, in dyn.load just include the full path to the dll file). It is good practice to keep these in a sub-directory under the project (i.e. "c"), then just add "c/" in front of "addZeros" in the file path.

To illustrate:

> x <- rbinom(1000000, 1, 0.9)
>
> system.time(addZeros(x, 10))
   user  system elapsed 
   0.45    0.14    0.59 
> system.time(addZeros(x, 400))
   user  system elapsed 
  15.87    3.70   19.64 
> 
> system.time(addZeros2(x, 10))
   user  system elapsed 
   0.01    0.02    0.03 
> system.time(addZeros2(x, 400))
   user  system elapsed 
   0.03    0.00    0.03 
> 

Where the "addZeros" is my original suggestion with just internal R, and addZeros2 is using the C function.


x <- c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,1)

n <- 3
z<-rle(x)
tmp <- cumsum(z$lengths)

for (i in seq(which.min(z$values),max(which(z$values==1)),2)) {
         if  (z$lengths[i+1] < n)   x[tmp[i]:(tmp[i] + z$lengths[i+1])] <- 0
         else                       x[tmp[i]:(tmp[i]+n)] <- 0
}


Here is one way:

> tmp <- strsplit('1111111100001111111111110000000001111111111100101','')
> tmp <- as.numeric(unlist(tmp))
> 
> n <- 3
> 
> tmp2 <- embed(tmp, n+1)
> 
> tmp3 <- tmp
> tmp3[ which( apply( tmp2, 1, function(x) any(x==0) ) ) + n ] <- 0
> 
> paste(tmp3, collapse='')
[1] "1111111100000001111111110000000000001111111100000"

whether this is better than a loop or not is up to you.

This will also not change the 1st n elements if there is a 0 there.

here is another way:

> library(gtools)
> 
> tmpfun <- function(x) {
+ if(any(x==0)) {
+ 0
+ } else {
+ x[length(x)]
+ }
+ }
> 
> tmp4 <- running( tmp, width=4, fun=tmpfun, 
+ allow.fewer=TRUE )
> 
> tmp4 <- unlist(tmp4)
> paste(tmp4, collapse='')
[1] "1111111100000001111111110000000000001111111100000"

To follow up on my previous comment, if speed is in fact a concern - converting the vector to a string and using regex may well be faster than other solutions. First a function:

replaceZero <- function(x,n){
    x <- gsub(paste("01.{",n-1,"}", sep = "") , paste(rep(0,n+1),collapse = ""), x)
}

Generate data

z <- sample(0:1, 1000000, replace = TRUE)

z <- paste(z, collapse="")
repz <- replaceZero(z,3)
repz <- as.numeric(unlist(strsplit(repz, "")))

System time to collapse, run regex, and split back into vector:

Regex method
   user  system elapsed 
   2.39    0.04    2.39 
Greg's method
   user  system elapsed 
   17.m39    0.17   18.30
Jonathon's method
   user  system elapsed 
   2.47    0.02    2.31 


I really like the idea of using a "regular expression" for this so I gave a vote up for that. (Wish I had gotten an rle answer in too and learned something from the embed and running answers. Neat!) Here's a variation on Chase's answer that I think may address the issues raised:

replaceZero2 <- function(x, n) {
  if (n == 0) {
    return(x)
  }
  xString <- paste(x, collapse="")
  result <- gsub(paste("(?<=",
             paste("01{", 0:(n - 1), "}", sep="", collapse="|"),
             ")1", sep=""),
       "0", xString, perl=TRUE)
  return(as.numeric(unlist(strsplit(result, ""))))
}

This seems to produce identical results to Chang's rle method for n = 1,2,3,4,5 on gd047's example input.

Maybe you could write this more cleanly using \K?


I've found a solution myself. I think it's very easy and not very slow. I guess if someone could compile it in C++ it would be very fast because it has just one loop.

f5 <- function(z, N) {
   x <- z
   count <- 0
   for (i in 1:length(z)) {
     if (z[i]==0) { count <- N }
     else {
       if (count >0) { 
          x[i] <- 0  
          count <- count-1 }
   }
}
x
}


Using a moving minimum function is very fast, simple, and not dependent on the distribution of spans:

x <- rbinom(1000000, 1, 0.9)
system.time(movmin(x, 3, na.rm=T))
# user  system elapsed 
# 0.11    0.02    0.13 

The following simple definition of movmin suffices (the complete function has some functionality superfluous to this case, such as using the van Herk/Gil-Werman algorithm for large N)

movmin = function(x, n, na.rm=F) {
  x = c(rep.int(NA, n - 1), x) # left pad
  do.call(pmin, c(lapply(1:n, function(i) x[i:(length(x) - n + i)]), na.rm=na.rm))
}

Actually you need a window size of 4 because you affect the 3 values following a zero. This matches your f5:

x <- rbinom(1000000, 1, 0.9)
all.equal(f5(x, 3), movmin(x, 4, na.rm=T))
# [1] TRUE
0
