operate_proportional: Proportion of messy dates meeting logical test

In messydates: A Flexible Class for Messy Dates

Proportion of messy dates meeting logical test

Description

These functions provide various proportional tests for messy date objects, complementing the strict logical comparisons in ?operate_inequalities. Where a plain </>/etc. comparison can only return TRUE, FALSE, or NA for a messy (imprecise) date, these functions instead report what proportion of the dates implied by e1 satisfy the comparison against e2, by expanding both to their full sets of possible dates first.

Usage

e1 %l% e2

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
e1 %l% e2

e1 %g% e2

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
e1 %g% e2

e1 %ge% e2

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
e1 %ge% e2

e1 %le% e2

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
e1 %le% e2

e1 %><% e2

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
e1 %><% e2

e1 %>=<% e2

## S3 method for class 'mdate'
e1 %>=<% e2

Arguments

e1, e2

mdate or other class objects; must be of equal length.

Value

A numeric vector, the same length as e1 and e2, of proportions between 0 and 1.

Functions

• %l% : Tests proportion of dates in the first vector that precede the minimum in the second vector.

• %g% : Tests proportion of dates in the first vector that follow the maximum in the second vector.

• %ge% : Tests proportion of dates in the first vector that follow or are equal to the maximum in the second vector.

• %le% : Tests proportion of dates in the first vector that precede or are equal to the minimum in the second vector.

• %><% : Tests proportion of dates in the first vector that are between the minimum and maximum dates in the second vector.

• %>=<% : Tests proportion of dates in the first vector that are between the minimum and maximum dates in the second vector, inclusive.

Examples

  as_messydate("2012-06") < as.Date("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") %l% as_messydate("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") > as.Date("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") %g% as_messydate("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") >= as.Date("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") %ge% as_messydate("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") <= as.Date("2012-06-02")
  as_messydate("2012-06") %le% "2012-06-02"
  as_messydate("2012-06") %><% as_messydate("2012-06-15..2012-07-15")
  as_messydate("2012-06") %>=<% as_messydate("2012-06-15..2012-07-15")
