Defining Cycles based on Thresholds

Viewed 53

I have a data set containing nonuniform 30,000 rows that consist of three variables: Time, Chamber and temperature. The two chambers heat and cool at different rates and I need to assign a cycle count every time a positive slope above 75 degrees. I am trying to convert the x-axis from time, to cycle of heating and cooling. This would classify as one cycle

I have found two similar issues here: How to count the amount of times (frequency) that data passes through a certain threshold in R? and time between max and min of cycles but both don't get me to the my end goal. Utilizing data.table::rleid((lead(Chamber_temperature, order_by = Chamber_ID) > threshold) counts at both the positive and the negative slope as two different crosses of the threshold. If I include data.table::rleid((Chamber_temperature <= threshold | lead(Chamber_temperature, order_by = Chamber_ID) > threshold) I get a cycle of single row for lead, and another cycle with multiple rows which are above the threshold. Ultimately this seems to be double counting the number of cycles as well.

In this example data set there are two complete cycles:

This would be the expected output, with the cycle only increasing when the temperature increases above the threshold, not below.

A cycle change can be identified by the following algorithm:

  1. Sort your data by Time
  2. Find rows for which Temp > 75 returns TRUE
  3. Within that subset of rows, find rows where Temp <= 75 returns TRUE for the previous row.

Once we have identified cycle changes, we can obtain a running tally of cycles using cumsum().

I've implemented this in the code below. Since there is ambiguity about what you want to do with ChamberID, I've assumed you want to track cycles separating for each of the subgroups defined by the unique values of ChamberID.

dplyr Solution

result <- df %>%
  group_by(Chamber_ID) %>%
  arrange(Time) %>%
  mutate(
    Temp_lag1 = lag(Temp, 1),
    cycle_change = if_else(Temp > 75 & Temp_lag1 <= 75, 1, 0),
    cycle_id = cumsum(cycle_change) + 1
  )

table(result$Chamber_ID, result$cycle_id)
#>    
#>      1  2  3  4
#>   0  8 37 39  9
#>   1  8 36 39 10

According to the above, there are 4 cycles per chamber, with the longest durations being the second and third cycles.
