I have a longitudinal dataset containing individuals along with information about where they are currently residing. The code below creates an example df:
set.seed(123)
df <- tibble(
id = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7,
2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8,
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8
),
year = c(rep(2009, 5),
rep(2010, 6),
rep(2011, 6),
rep(2012, 7)),
age = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1,
2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2,
3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3),
town = c("0", "0", "2", "0", "0",
"1", "2", "1", "3", "0", "1",
"3", "1", "4", "1", "2", "1",
"4", "2", "2", "1", "2", "1", "5")
)
I'm interested in reasons for moving (e.g., whether income, attained education, family structure etc plays a role in whether you move at all, and whether it affects the area you move to), so I've coded the event, "moved", along with "flag_first_move" using the following code:
df3 <- df %>%
arrange(year, id) %>%
group_by(id) %>%
mutate(first_year = min(year)) %>%
mutate(first_town = list(town[year==first_year])) %>%
mutate(flag_move = as.numeric(year != first_year & !(town %in% unlist(first_town)) & town !="")) %>%
mutate(flag_first_move = (flag_move==1 & as.numeric(!duplicated(flag_move)))) %>%
mutate(moved = case_when(town !=lag(town) ~ 1,
TRUE ~ 0)) %>%
mutate(flag_cum_move = (cumsum(c(0, diff(moved)) !=0) + 1)) #This doesn't work as intended
"flag_first_move" gives me the first event of a move. "moved" gives me a flag for every time an individual move. Lastly, with the attempt of creating the variable "flag_cum_move", I want a cumulative count for every event (so that every time an individual moves it adds 1) - I can't figure out how to do this!
Lastly, I want to look at the year before and after every event (move) for every individual. This is the code I've tried to accomplish this task:
df4 <- df3 %>%
group_by(id) %>%
filter(any(flag_first_move == 1)) %>%
mutate(
year_before = ifelse(
between(year[moved == 1] - year, 1, 1), 1, 0),
year_after = ifelse(
between(year - year[moved == 1], 1, 1), 1, 0),
)
It works fine in the cases where only one event occurs, but in the case where multiple events follow for every year it gives me a warning for the "year_after" variable, and I don't get the intended result for this neither. I can't figure out why.
See if this is what you want. It's better if you could show the expected output in the question, so if I have misunderstood something please note in the comments below and I can adjust accordingly.
