r - Finding difference in dates by grouped variable -


i working on master's thesis , need r coding. analyzing movements of wild turkeys during different stages of reproduction. need find difference in last date , first date individual within area.

x<- data.frame( areaid = c(1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2), timestamp=as.posixct(c("06/01/2014 05:01", "6/01/2014 13:00","06/01/2014 23:00", "06/02/2014 10:00","06/20/2015 09:00", "06/20/2015 10:00", "06/20/2015 11:00", "06/20/2015 12:00"), format='%m/%d/%y %h:%m'))

i need new dataframe areaid , time spent in area.

thanks help.

the dplyr solution @gregor should work. however, if dplyr not functioning properly. can try approach using data.table.

library(data.table)  setdt(x) x[, .(duration = max(timestamp) - min(timestamp)), = areaid]    areaid      duration 1:      1 1.207639 days 2:      2 3.000000 days

or use aggregate function base r.

aggregate(timestamp ~ areaid, data = x, fun = function(x) max(x) - min(x))   areaid timestamp 1      1 1.207639  2      2 3.000000

update

to make unit of time consistent, can use difftime function units argument, "hours", "days" or other units.

aggregate(timestamp ~ areaid, data = x,            fun = function(x) difftime(max(x), min(x), units = "hours"))    areaid timestamp 1      1 28.98333  2      2  3.00000

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
