Aggregate data to weekly level with every week starting from Monday

Question

I have a data frame like,

2015-01-30     1       Fri
2015-01-30     2       Sat
2015-02-01     3       Sun
2015-02-02     1       Mon
2015-02-03     1                


        

Answer 1

Convert to date and use the %W format to get a week number...

df <- read.csv(textConnection("2015-01-30,     1,       Fri,
2015-01-30,     2,       Sat,
2015-02-01,     3,       Sun,
2015-02-02,     1,       Mon,
2015-02-03,     1,       Tue,
2015-02-04,     1,       Wed,
2015-02-05,     1,       Thu,
2015-02-06,     1,       Fri,
2015-02-07,     1,       Sat,
2015-02-08,     1,       Sun"), header=F, stringsAsFactors=F)
names(df) <- c("date", "something", "day")
df$date <- as.Date(df$date, format="%Y-%m-%d")
df$week <- format(df$date, "%W")
aggregate(df$something, list(df$week), sum)

Answer 2

Wit dplyr and lubridate is this really easy thanks to the function isoweek

my.df <- read.table(header=FALSE, text=
  '2015-01-30     1       Fri
   2015-01-30     2       Sat
   2015-02-01     3       Sun
   2015-02-02     1       Mon
   2015-02-03     1       Tue
   2015-02-04     1       Wed 
   2015-02-05     1       Thu
   2015-02-06     1       Fri
   2015-02-07     1       Sat
   2015-02-08     1       Sun')
 my.df %>% mutate(week = isoweek(V1)) %>% group_by(week) %>% summarise(sum(V2))

or a bit shorter

my.df %>% group_by(isoweek(V1)) %>% summarise(sum(V2))

Answer 3

This should work. I've called the dataframe m and named the columns possibly different to yours.

library(plyr) # install.packages("plyr")

colnames(m) = c("Date", "count","Day")
start  = as.Date("2015-01-26")
m$Week <- floor(unclass(as.Date(m$Date) - as.Date(start)) / 7) + 1
m$Week = as.numeric(m$Week)
m %>% group_by(Week) %>% summarise(count = sum(count))

The library plyr is great for data manipulation, but it's just a rough hack to get the week number in.
