Delete successive rows under condition in R












1














I have a data frame



dt <- read.table(text = "
350 16
352 0
354 0
359 0
366 11
376 38
380 28
386 0
389 0
397 55
398 45
399 0
400 19
402 30")


When successive rows contain zero in the second column, I want to keep only the zero row which precedes the non zero row in the second column.



The result must be:



dt <- read.table(text = "
350 16
359 0
366 11
376 38
380 28
389 0
397 55
398 45
399 0
400 19
402 30")

          Simple one line solution:



          dplyr::filter(dt, !(V2==0 & lead(V2)==0))

          V1 V2
          1 350 16
          2 359 0
          3 366 11
          4 376 38

            Here is an option where we create a grouping variable with rleid based on the zero values and filter with the conditions mentioned in the OP's post



            library(tidyverse)
            library(data.table)
            dt %>%
            group_by(grp = rleid(V2 == 0)) %>%
            filter(all(V2== 0) & row_number()==n() | V2 != 0) %>%
            ungroup %>%
            select(-grp)
            # A tibble: 11 x 2
            # V1 V2
            # <int> <int>
            # 1 350 16
            # 2 359 0
            # 3 366 11
            # 4 376 38
            # 5 380 28
            # 6 389 0
            # 7 397 55
            # 8 398 45
            # 9 399 0
            #10 400 19
            #11 402 30




            Or using data.table, the same logic can be applied



            setDT(dt)[dt[, .I[(V2 == 0 & seq_len(.N) == .N) | V2 != 0], rleid(V2 == 0)]$V1]
            # V1 V2
            # 1: 350 16
            # 2: 359 0
            # 3: 366 11
            # 4: 376 38
            # 5: 380 28
            # 6: 389 0
            # 7: 397 55
            # 8: 398 45
            # 9: 399 0
            #10: 400 19
            #11: 402 30


            Or as @jogo mentioned in the comments, to create a grouping column with rleid and then subset the first row (that have only 0 values in 'V2') based on a if/else condition



            setDT(dt)[, i:=rleid(V2)][, if (any(V2!=0)) .SD else .SD[.N], i] 


            NOTE: These are flexible solutions which can be generalized

            Here is the data.table equivalent to the solution from @iod :



            library("data.table")

            dt <- fread(
            "350 16
            352 0
            354 0
            359 0
            366 11
            376 38
            380 38
            386 0
            389 0
            397 55
            398 45
            399 0
            400 19
            402 30")

            dt[V2!=0 | shift(V2, type="lead")!=0]
