resetting cumsum if value goes to negative in r

Question

ve <- c(17, -9, 9, -17, 17, -17, 11, -9, 16, -18, 17, 0, 0, -18, 17, 0, 0, -17, 14, -14, 17, -2, 0, -15, 9, -9, 17, -16, 16, -17, 17, -17, 17, -17, 17, -17, 17, -         


        

Answer 1

Here is an iterative solution. I can't think of how to do this vectorized/using dplyr without multiple passes over the data, but I'm sure someone else will:

ve_csum = numeric(length(ve))

current_total = 0
for (i in 1:length(ve)) {
    if (is.na(ve[i])) {
        ve_csum[i] = current_total
        next
    }
    current_total = current_total + ve[i]
    if (current_total < 0) {
        current_total = 0
    }
    ve_csum[i] = current_total
}

result = data.frame(ve, ve_csum)

Answer 2

> df$calc=ifelse(cumsum(df$ve)<0,0,cumsum(df$ve))

Answer 3

We can replace the NA values with 0 and use cumsum

library(dplyr)
df1 <- df %>%
      group_by(grp = cumsum(lag(cumsum(replace(ve, is.na(ve), 0)) < 0, default = TRUE))) %>%
     mutate(calc = cumsum(replace(ve, is.na(ve), 0)), calc = replace(calc, calc < 0, 0)) %>%
      ungroup() %>%
      select(-grp)
head(df1, 15)
# A tibble: 15 x 2
#      ve  calc
#   <dbl> <dbl>
# 1    17    17
# 2    -9     8
# 3     9    17
# 4   -17     0
# 5    17    17
# 6   -17     0
# 7    11    11
# 8    -9     2
# 9    16    18
#10   -18     0
#11    17    17
#12     0    17
#13     0    17
#14   -18     0
#15    17    17

Answer 4

Not using dplyr, but this should work:

ve = as.data.frame(ve)
ve = na.omit(ve)
ve$cumS = 0
ve$cumS[1] = ve$ve[1]

for (i in 2 : length(ve$ve)) {

ve$cumS[i] = ifelse((ve$cumS[i - 1] + ve$ve[i]) < 0,
                     0, (ve$cumS[i - 1] + ve$ve[i]))
}
