nested loop to fill values in one df based on conditions in second df
I have spent the better part of a couple of days trying various for loops and while loops, even tinkering with purrr and map but am failing to see the solution. Any help in straightening out the loop would be much appreciated!
The problem: I have four subjects, A, B, C, and D. Data for these subjects is available in two data frames. What we need to do is to use my.df1, loop through each unique cycle_id for each unique subject, flag when the cycle started and ended for each cycle_id, and then fill-in the cycleid in my.df2 with the cycle_id in my.df1 so long as my.df2$frames is >= cy_start and < cy_end.
How could a nested loop do this?
``` r
my.df1 <- structure(list(
subject = c("A", "A", "B", "B", "C", "C", "D", "D"),
cycle_id = c(1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2),
cy_start = c(14, 94, 64, 105, 50, 98, 15, 105),
cy_end = c(94, 163, 105, 143, 98, 181, 105, 164)
),
class = c("spec_tbl_df", "tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"),
row.names = c(NA, -8L)
)
my.df2 <- structure(list(subject = c("A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A",
"A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A",

stop = my.df1$cy_end[i]
my.df2$cycleid[my.df2$frames >= start & my.df2$frames < stop] = i
}
}
```
The loop above does not do it correctly; it forces the same cycle_id sequence on all subjects. If you run the loop, for example, you will see cycle_id is 1 for frames 64:93 for subject B but should be 1 for frames 64:105. The desired result would resemble that shown below.

I'm not clear how my.df2 contributes to the solution you seek. Perhaps a nested loop is not what you need? This code recreates my.df.out from the information in my.df1.
# create list of frames from first to next-to-last
frames <- apply(my.df1[3:4], 1, function(v) seq(v[1], v[2]-1))
# use this list to replicate other variables
subject <- rep(my.df1$subject, lengths(frames)) # note use of 'lengths()'
cycleid <- rep(my.df1$cycle_id, lengths(frames))
# make variables match the form in my.df.out
frames <- unlist(frames)
frames <- as.numeric(frames)
df.out <- data.frame(subject, frames, cycleid, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
class(df.out) <- class(my.df.out) # add other properties for 'identical()'
# see if it did that
identical(df.out, my.df.out)
[1] TRUE

This appears to basically be range join. One way to such a join is with fuzzyjoin, but it requires a bit of effort with duplicating a column and such:
library(fuzzyjoin)
my.df3 <- my.df2[1:2]
my.df3$frames2 <- my.df3$frames
out <- genome_left_join(
my.df3,
my.df1,
c('subject', 'frames' = 'cy_start', 'frames2' = 'cy_end'),
type = 'within'
)
out[c('subject.x', 'frames', 'cycle_id')]
However, note that your cycle ranges overlap 1 frame, and so you get some double rows. You can avoid that by subtracting 1 from cy_end.
Or using data.table, which is better at these things, and lets you do this in a fairly understandable (for data.table standards) one-liner:
library(data.table)
dt1 <- setDT(my.df1)
dt2 <- setDT(my.df2[1:2])
dtout <- dt1[dt2, on = .(subject, cy_start <= frames, cy_end > frames)]
