Saving and Loading Zoo Objects in R: A Simplified Approach
To save and read the data again as a zoo object, you can modify the code slightly. Here’s an updated version: library(xts) df2 <- by(dat, dat$nodeId, function(x){ ends <- endpoints(x, on = "minutes", k = 1) xx <- period.apply(x, ends, mean) }) # Save as a zoo object saveRDS(df2, "df2.zoo") # Read from the saved file df2_read <- readRDS("df2.zoo") In this code: We use by to group the data by nodeId and then apply the calculation within each group.
