Calculating Jumping Average Columns at Every n-th Row in R Using plyr Package
Calculating Jumping Average Columns at Every n-th Row In this article, we will explore the concept of calculating jumping average columns in a data frame. The goal is to calculate the average of each column at every 365th interval, which means we want to group the rows by year and month (day of year), and then calculate the mean for each column within those groups. Introduction We start with a daily observations data frame for a 32-year period, resulting in approximately 11,659 rows.
