I have a list that is indexed like the following:
>list.stuff
[[1]]
[[1]]$vector
...
[[1]]$matrix
....
[[1]]$vector
[[2]]
null
[[3]]
[[3]]$vector
...
[[3]]$matrix
....
[[3]]$vector
.
.
.
Each segment in the list is indexed according to another vector of indexes:
>index.list
1, 3, 5, 10, 15
In list.stuff
, only at each of the indexes 1,3,5,10,15 will there be 2 vectors and one matrix; everything else will be null like [[2]]
. What I want to do is to lag like the lag.xts
function so that whatever is stored in [[1]]
will be pushed to [[3]]
and the last one drops off. This also requires subsetting the list, if its possible. I was wondering if there exists some functions that handle list manipulation.
My thinking is that for xts
, a time series can be extracted based on an index you supply:
xts.object[index,] #returns the rows 1,3,5,10,15
From here I can lag it with:
lag.xts(xts.object[index,])
Any help would be appreciated thanks:
EDIT: Here is a reproducible example:
list.stuff<-list()
vec<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
vec2<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
mat<-matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8),4,2)
list.vec.mat<-list(vec=vec,mat=mat,vec2=vec2)
ind<-c(2,4,6,8,10)
for(i in ind){
list.stuff[[i]]<-list.vec.mat
}
slist<-list.stuff[ind]
list.stuff[ind]<-lapply(seq_along(slist),function(i) ifelse(i <= 1, NA, slist[[i-1]])) #lag list
The new lagged list only preserves one of the vectors rather than 2 vectors and list
First, an example list:
elist <- list(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
The index:
index.list <- c(1, 3, 5)
Create a subset based on the index:
sublist <- elist[index.list]
[[1]]
[1] 1
[[2]]
[1] 3
[[3]]
[1] 5
The lag:
lag <- 1
Apply a lag of size lag
to the list
newsublist <- lapply(seq_along(sublist),
function(i) if (i <= 1) NA else slist[[i-1]])
[[1]]
[1] NA
[[2]]
[1] 1
[[3]]
[1] 3
Note . In its current implementation, the last command works for positive lags only.
Now, put the values back into the list elist
:
elist[index.list] <- newsublist
The result:
[[1]]
[1] NA
[[2]]
[1] 2
[[3]]
[1] 1
[[4]]
[1] 4
[[5]]
[1] 3
[[6]]
[1] 6
Is using xts a requirement or just a thought for a possible solution? Have you tried:
list.stuff[ index.list[[[-1]] ] <-
list.stuff[ index.list[[-length(index.list)]] ]
Then, if required:
list.stuff[ index.list[[[1]] ] <- NULL # or some other value
