date and time - Histogram of runs


What I would like to do is generate a histogram of the consecutive time spent under a level. For example if the level I was interested in was 1.0 and I had this data;


{{{2010, 1, 1, 6, 15, 0.}, 0.04375}, {{2010, 1, 1, 6, 30, 0.},0.04375}, 
{{2010, 1, 1, 6, 45, 0.},0.04375}, {{2010, 1, 1, 7, 0, 0.},5},
{{2010, 1, 1, 7, 15, 0.}, 0.5},{2010, 1, 1, 7, 30, 0.}, 5}}}

I would get a histogram containing two values, 45 (7:00am - 6:15am) and 15 (7:30am - 7:15am) minutes.


Any help would be appreciated.

Split time-series data based on a one-place test function, and collect total durations for spells of periods satisfying the test condition:


 ClearAll[durationsF];
durationsF[timeseries : {{{__}, _} ..}, test_] :=
With[{ts = timeseries /. {{dt__}, val_} :> {AbsoluteTime[{dt}], test[val]}},
(Last@# - First@#) & /@ Map[First, Split[ts, #[[2]] === True &], {2}]/60 /.
(0) -> Sequence[]];

OP's example:


 opdata = {{{2010, 1, 1, 6, 15, 0.}, 0.04375}, {{2010, 1, 1, 6, 30, 0.},  0.04375},
{{2010, 1, 1, 6, 45, 0.}, 0.04375}, {{2010, 1, 1, 7, 0, 0.}, 5},

{{2010, 1, 1, 7, 15, 0.}, 0.5}, {{2010, 1, 1, 7, 30, 0.}, 5}};
durationsF[opdata , # <= 1 &]
(* {45, 15} *)

Weather data example:


 psdnWthr = WeatherData["Pasadena",  "Temperature", {{2012, 1, 1}, {2012, 1, 15}}];
DateListPlot[psdnWthr, GridLines -> {Automatic, {15}}, Joined -> True]

enter image description here


 durationsF[psdnWthr, # <= 15 &]

(* {180, 1200, 2460, 840, 480, 720, 120, 1980, 3840, 1020} *)

Notes: If the input time series is not sorted, use ts=SortBy[ts,First] in the function definition. For units of measurement other than minutes, multiply by appropriate factors.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

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...
