如何优化这个for循环在R为一个大data.table

Question

我正在一个大data.table（250万行）的银行间贷款。这是第一个20的摘录：

-20L), .internal.selfref = <pointer: 0x2960818>) 

的三个clean是issued，issued_radius和week的利益列，但我已经包括所有列，因为它们会影响环路的性能。

每一行代表一笔贷款，我想估计发行Date，与每周决议。该发行日期位于区间[issued - issued_radius,issued + issued_radius]。此间隔可能跨越1天，也可能持续数周（最多一个月，或最多5周）。该代码生成此间隔并计算间隔中包含从偏离日期起的多少个星期。这些星期中的每一个都被赋予与重叠一致的权重。例如，clean中可以在第17周和第18周发放的贷款（从间隔中导出）扩展为两个贷款patch，贷款数量（列oem,obd等）与该权重成比例。

library(data.table) 

START_DATE = as.Date("1998-8-1") 

elapsed_weeks <- function(t, start_date) { 
    as.numeric(floor(difftime(t, start_date, units="weeks"))) 
} 

#load("clean.Rda") 

# One-day intervals can be added to our result immediately 
patch = clean[issued_radius==0] 
clean = clean[issued_radius!=0] 

N = nrow(clean) 
write_index = nrow(patch)+1 

# Allocate space in patch. 
dummy = data.table(time = rep(0, N*5)) 
patch = rbindlist(list(patch, dummy), use.names = TRUE, fill= TRUE) 

for (k in 1:N) { 
    entry = clean[k] 

    # Recover Date interval [i, j]. 
    i = entry$issued - entry$issued_radius 
    j = entry$issued + entry$issued_radius 

    # Generate sequence of days in the interval and 
    # map each day to a weeknumber, counting the frequencies. 
    x = seq.Date(i, j, by="day") 
    T = table(elapsed_weeks(x, START_DATE)) 

    for (name in names(T)) { # can this be vectorized? 
    week_number = as.numeric(name) 
    week_weight = as.numeric(T[name])/length(x) 

    new_entry = entry 

    new_entry$week = week_number 
    new_entry$obm = entry$obm * week_weight 
    new_entry$obd = entry$obd * week_weight 
    new_entry$obk = entry$obk * week_weight 
    new_entry$oem = entry$oem * week_weight 

    patch[write_index] = new_entry 

    write_index = write_index + 1 
    } 
} 

# Delete unused allocated rows. 
patch = patch[!is.na(type)] 

print(nrow(patch)/nrow(clean)) # < 5 

编辑2：增加另一个例子。

> clean[2] 
    time bal lender borrower obm obd obk oem r type term reported  issued issued_radius  due 
1: 4 32004 2547  2285 0 0.3 0 0.3 63 loan 8-30d 1998-12-01 1998-11-13   10.5 1998-12-03 
    month week 
1:  4 14 

对于这笔贷款，它可以在任何一天发行字[1998-11-3，1998-11-24。每天在这个区间被映射到它是从START_DATE偏移的周数：

> x 
[1] "1998-11-03" "1998-11-04" "1998-11-05" "1998-11-06" "1998-11-07" "1998-11-08" "1998-11-09" "1998-11-10" 
[9] "1998-11-11" "1998-11-12" "1998-11-13" "1998-11-14" "1998-11-15" "1998-11-16" "1998-11-17" "1998-11-18" 
[17] "1998-11-19" "1998-11-20" "1998-11-21" "1998-11-22" "1998-11-23" "1998-11-24" 
> elapsed_weeks(x, START_DATE) 
[1] 13 13 13 13 14 14 14 14 14 14 14 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 16 16 16 16 

现在我们做一个频率表来推断重量为发放贷款的每个可能的一周。

> table(elapsed_weeks(x, START_DATE)) 

13 14 15 16 
4 7 7 4 

所以这个贷款将扩大到与week列{13，14，15，16}贷款。这些贷款的数量与可能的每周抵消组的频率权重成比例。

> table(elapsed_weeks(x, START_DATE))/length(x) 

     13  14  15  16 
0.1818182 0.3181818 0.3181818 0.1818182 

因此我们最终patch看起来像这样：

> patch 
    time bal lender borrower obm  obd obk  oem r type term reported  issued 
1: 4 32004 2547  2285 0 0.05454545 0 0.05454545 63 loan 8-30d 1998-12-01 1998-11-13

3: 4 32004 2547  2285 0 0.09545455 0 0.09545455 63 loan 8-30d 1998-12-01 1998-11-13 
4: 4 32004 2547  2285 0 0.05454545 0 0.05454545 63 loan 8-30d 1998-12-01 1998-11-13 
    issued_radius  due month week 
1:   10.5 1998-12-03  4 13 
2:   10.5 1998-12-03  4 14 
3:   10.5 1998-12-03  4 15 
4:   10.5 1998-12-03  4 16 

我已经做了一些优化感谢@大卫（How to speed up rbind?），但结果仍然很慢。经过十个小时的夜间计算，我已经处理了clean数据表的4％。

所以我的问题是：我怎么能扩大这个循环到一个大的data.table？

谢谢大家的时间。

如果我正确理解了你的解释，你应该在data.table中使用重叠连接。

#define start and end dates, 
#fractional days could be an issue here, but I have not checked that further 
DT[, c("start", "end") := .(issued - issued_radius, issued + issued_radius)] 
#create an ID 
DT[, id := .I] 

#create a data.table with start of week and end of week for whole year 
weeks <- data.table(date = seq(as.Date("1998-01-01"), as.Date("1998-12-31"), by = "1 day")) 
weeks[, week := week(date)] 
weeks <- weeks[, .(start = min(date), end = max(date)), by = week] 
setkey(weeks, start, end) 

#now an overlaps join 
DT1 <- foverlaps(DT, weeks) 
#calculate number of days in each week, 
#special handling of last and first week of year might be necessary here 
DT1[, overlap := 7 - (i.start > start) * (i.start - start) - (i.end < end) * (end - i.end)] 
#calculate weights 
DT1[, weight := as.numeric(overlap)/sum(as.numeric(overlap)), by = id] 
#apply weights 
DT1[, c("obm_w", "obd_w", "obk_w", "oem_w") := lapply(.SD, function(x) x * DT1[["weight"]]), 
    .SDcols = c("obm", "obd", "obk", "oem")] 

请仔细检查，如果这样做你需要什么，并根据需要进行调整。
