Converting code source in R to Delphi

[de la Mancha 1]

I try to convert source code in R to Delphi code...

Thank you in advance for your help...

 

nparACT_IS = function(data_hrs, mean_all, bin_hr){
    ## ---- IS numerator calculation
    result_ISnum <- matrix(NA, nrow = 24)
    n <- nrow(data_hrs)
    p <- 1440/bin_hr
    for (h in 1:24){
      s <- ceiling(n/p)
      data_hrs3 <- data_hrs
      data_hrs3[s*p] <- NA
      data_hrs3 <- matrix(data_hrs3)
      hrlydat <- data_hrs3[c(seq(h,nrow(data_hrs3),24)),]
      hrlymean <- mean(hrlydat, na.rm = T)
      x <- (hrlymean-mean_all)^{^2}
      result_ISnum[h,] <- x
    }
    ISnum <- sum(result_ISnum)
    ISnumerator <- n*ISnum
        ## ---- IS denominator calculation
    result_ISdenom <- matrix(NA, nrow = n)
    for (j in 1:n){
      y <- ((data_hrs[j,]-mean_all)^{^2})
      result_ISdenom[j,] <- y
    }
    ISdenom <- sum(result_ISdenom)
    ISdenominator <- p*ISdenom
    ## -----------------------------
    IS <- round(ISnumerator/ISdenominator, digits = 2)
    return_IS <- c(IS, ISdenom, n, p)
    return(return_IS)
  },

Here's what to do.  First of all you need to understand the R code.  You need to know what it's purpose is, and how it achieves it.  You will need a clear understanding of what data types are expected to be passed to, and returned from the function.  You may need to talk to the author of the code, or learn enough R to work it out yourself.  Once you have a clear understanding then you will be in a good place to write an equivalent function in Delphi.

 

Good luck.

No problem, I wanted to save time. It's not hard for me R. The program is free. I know the author. Good luck and keep your advice to yourself.

@de la Mancha- you asked and got a relevant answer from someone known for doing heavy math with Delphi. No reason to be rude.

To be fair: David also tends to be - lets say "terse" - in his answers. That can also be interpreted as rude, in particular by people for whom English is a foreign language.

Perhaps "terse" can be understood as rudeness. But for me personally, the words "keep your advice to yourself" mean unambiguously rudeness. I don't know, maybe I was brought up wrong.

I don't know R at all. But looking at your code it's all fairly clear what's going on (<- is the same as delphi := [took me 30s to work this out]). Your key challenge is to make sure you select the correct types for the variables used.

I am a strong advocate of writing readable (and hence supportable) code. I would respectfully suggest that you use longer, more meaningful names for the function and

for the variables it uses. This would make it much much easier to see what the function does and how it does it.

Thank you for your help. I've written to the author this morning and hope she reply to me. This function compute the Intradaily Variability (IV)

What else could be said for post of "I have a problem pls solve it completely for me" kind? If the one who needs solution does zero for the problem, why someone else should do more?

Reading between the lines means learning actuarial science as side effect you learn how use various tools perhaps getting tools paid for as intern. 

 

The time spent porting would be better used becoming a Subject Matter Expert that way you know if the output is reasonable or just pretty.

@de la Mancha  did you sort this out satisfactorily ?
