probability or statistics - How to partition a list into sublists in a similar way to Histogram


I have a list of list as below (I show part of it)


{{1902, 0.4662}, {1903, 0.22443}, {1905, 0.02936}, {1906, 

  0.02702}, {1908, -0.08354}, {1909, -0.05241}, {1911, 
  0.02388}, {1912, 0.03738}, {1914, 0.25015}, {1915, 0.2831}, {1917, 
  0.4415}, {1919, 0.18315}, {1921, 0.2256}, {1923, 0.24132}, {1926, 
  0.21473}, {1928, 0.29596}, {1930, 0.47693}, {1933, 0.41607}, {1935, 
  0.22161}, {1937, 0.3322}, {1940, 0.2099}, {1942, 0.23376}, {1944, 
  0.44114}, {1947, 0.15876}, {1949, 0.43953}, {1951, 0.71407}, {1954, 
  0.9595}, {1956, 0.59436}, {2000, 0.6832}, {2004, 0.86861}, {2007, 
  0.48201}, {2011, 0.70796}, {2015, 0.57029}, {2020, 0.61997}, {2026, 
  0.79266}, {2032, 0.78726}, {2038, 0.83884}}


For example, in {1902,0.4662} "1902" represent time 19:02 and 0.4662 represent the data at time 19:02.


What I want to do is to calculate average of the data in every 5 minutes. That is from 19:02 to 19:06, from 19:07 to 19:11. Notice the time step is not evenly distributed.


Histogram can naturally count how many of the data are in each interval. I want to partition the list like Histogram and then I can calculate average in each interval. And notice that the data may not be in a single day.


I can't figure out an elegant way to do this with built-in function. Can somebody help me?


Besides I think this is a very simple statistical calculation of data. I want to know what software could do this easily and directly.


Update: the full data sample is here http://en.textsave.org/VdL with date information



Answer



One approach:





  1. Create intervals from dataset;


    int = Table[Interval[{j, j + 4}], {j, 1902, 2038, 5}];


  2. Calling your dataset data the means for the desired intervals can be obtained:


    Mean /@ GatherBy[data, IntervalMemberQ[int, #[[1]]] &][[All, All, 2]]


yielding:




{0.186753, -0.0373567, 0.19021, 0.283417, 0.228025, 0.386445, 
0.31884, 0.27105, 0.33745, 0.437453, 0.77693, 0.6832, 0.86861, 
0.594985, 0.57029, 0.61997, 0.79266, 0.78726, 0.83884}

EDIT


Mr. Wizard correctly pointed out the error in my code. My first edit was wrong. The easiest approach (it seems to me) is to convert times to temporal data.


f[x_] := {2013, 9, 28, IntegerPart[x/100], 
  100 (x/100 - IntegerPart[x/100])}

Then using TemporalData



td = TemporalData[{f[#[[1]]], #[[2]]} & /@ data];
answ = TemporalData`Aggregate[td, {5, "Minute"}]

The default function applied to the partitioned temporal data is mean.


This can be visualised:


DateListPlot[{td["Path"], answ["Path"]}, Joined -> {False, True}]

A good post is here.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
