How to Analyze Price Changes in a DataFrame Using R's Apply Functionality
Here is the code with comments and improvements: # Find column matches for price # Apply which to compare each row with the corresponding price in the "Price" column change <- apply(DF[, 3:62] == DF[,"Price"], 1, function(x) which(x)) # Update the "change" column for C # Multiply by -1 if the column matches DF$change[DF[,"C"]] <- change[DF[,"C"]] * (-1) # Find column matches for old price in preceding row if M pos2 <- apply(DF[which(DF[,"M"]) - 1, 3:62] == DF[,"Price"], 1, function(x) which(x)) # Update the "change" column for M # Subtract the position of the old price from the current price DF$change[DF[,"M"]] <- pos2[DF[,"M"]] - change[DF[,"M"]] # Print the updated "change" column print(DF$change) Note that I’ve also replaced apply(DF[, 3:62] == DF[,66], 1, which) with function(x) which(x) to make it more concise and readable.
