从数据中删除行:重叠的时间间隔？

Question

编辑:我正在寻找这个问题的解决方案现在也与其他编程语言.

根据我提出的另一个问题,我有一个这样的数据集(对于R用户,下面是dput),它代表用户计算机会话:

   username          machine               start                 end
1     user1 D5599.domain.com 2011-01-03 09:44:18 2011-01-03 09:47:27

对于来自同一计算机的相同用户名,可能存在多个并发(基于时间重叠)会话.如何删除这些行,以便只为此数据留下一个会话？原始数据集大约有.50万行.

预期的输出是(第2,15行被删除)

   username          machine               start                 end

这是数据集:

structure(list(username = c("user1", "user1", "user1",
"user1", "user1", "user1", "user1", "user1",
"user1", "USER2", "USER2", "USER2", "USER2", "USER2", "USER2"
), machine = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 3L,
3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L), .Label = c("D5599.domain.com", "D5645.domain.com",
"D5682.domain.com", "D5686.domain.com", "D5694.domain.com", "D5696.domain.com",
"D5772.domain.com", "D5772.domain.com", "D5847.domain.com", "D5855.domain.com",
"D5871.domain.com", "D5927.domain.com", "D5927.domain.com", "D5952.domain.com",
"D5993.domain.com", "D6012.domain.com", "D6048.domain.com", "D6077.domain.com",
"D5688.domain.com", "D5815.domain.com", "D6106.domain.com", "D6128.domain.com"
), class = "factor"), start = structure(c(1294040658, 1294040789,
1294056456, 1294232597, 1297686819, 1298462070, 1300695018, 1307603561,
1294049025, 1294835165, 1295269579, 1295356050, 1295961655, 1297688580,
1297688363), class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = ""), end =
structure(c(1294040847,
1294042156, 1294059377, 1294233795, 1297687216, 1298462303, 1300696342,
1307606339, 1294050583, 1294835573, 1295271862, 1295358163, 1295961878,
1297688863, 1297689287), class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = "")),
.Names = c("username",
"machine", "start", "end"), row.names = c(NA, 15L), class = "data.frame")

Answer 1

尝试间隔包：

library(intervals)

f <- function(dd) with(dd, {
    r <- reduce(Intervals(cbind(start, end)))
    data.frame(username = username[1],
         machine = machine[1],
         start = structure(r[, 1], class = class(start)),
         end = structure(r[, 2], class = class(end)))
})

do.call("rbind", by(d, d[1:2], f))

使用示例数据，这会将 15 行减少到以下 13 行（通过合并原始数据框中的第 1 行和第 2 行以及第 12 行和第 13 行）：

   username          machine               start                 end
