如何每 15 分钟计算一个“批次”

Question

1 2021-01-01 12:59:38
2 2021-01-01 14:08:59
3 2021-01-01 14:09:08
4 2021-01-01 14:11:30
5 2021-01-01 14:22:19
6 2021-01-01 14:41:07

I want to be able to count the number of entries every 15 minutes but on a rolling basis. Eg 12:59 would be 1 within 15 mins, 14:08 => 14:22 would all be within 15 minutes so this would return 4 in this batch and finally 14:41 would be by itself in another 15 minute batch.

I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance.

Apologies for not including this

"tbl", "data.frame"))

NEW EDIT - Thank you for working on this. I am getting an error

Error in UseMethod("mutate") : 
  no applicable method for 'mutate' applied to an object of class "c('integer', 'numeric')"

This seems odd, my variable is in class

> class(df$ClickedDate)
[1] "POSIXct" "POSIXt" 

Does this work with mutate, or do I need to convert this?

Usage of runner package will help in this scenario. Use the following strategy

library(tidyverse)
library(runner)

df %>% mutate(b_len = runner::runner(x = ClickedDate,
                             idx = ClickedDate,
                             k = "15 mins",
                             lag = "-14 mins",
                             f = length),
              b_no = purrr::accumulate(seq_len(length(b_len)-1), .init = b_len[1], ~ifelse(.x > .y, .x, .x + b_len[.x +1])),
              b_no = as.integer(as.factor(b_no))) %>%
  group_by(b_no) %>%
  mutate(b_len = n())

# A tibble: 15 x 3
# Groups:   b_no [12]
   ClickedDate         b_len  b_no
   <dttm>              <int> <int>

 2 2021-01-01 01:02:59     1     2
 3 2021-01-01 01:38:08     1     3
 4 2021-01-01 04:44:30     1     4
 5 2021-01-01 05:21:19     1     5
 6 2021-01-01 05:41:07     1     6
 7 2021-01-01 09:24:41     1     7
 8 2021-01-01 11:06:27     1     8
 9 2021-01-01 13:25:06     1     9

15 2021-01-01 15:21:14     1    12

Notes -

• lag argument in runner function allows a backward time window (rolling) so I am using negative lag to use forward time window.
• k argument in runner is for given length of rolling window
• b_no column initially identifies the sliding/rolling window upto the earliest window is exhausted and thereafter takes new window.
• dense_rank can also be used (see alternative below)

Alternatively

df %>% mutate(b_len = runner::runner(x = ClickedDate,
                             idx = ClickedDate,
                             k = "15 mins",
                             lag = "-14 mins",
                             f = length),
              b_no = purrr::accumulate(seq_len(length(b_len)-1), .init = b_len[1], ~ifelse(.x > .y, .x, .x + b_len[.x +1])),
              b_no = dense_rank(b_no)) %>%
  group_by(b_no) %>%
  mutate(b_len = n()) %>%
  ungroup()
