如何根据日期范围合并数据集

Question

我想合并两个数据集。我想在 ID 和日期上合并它。但是，某些日期是在它们应该在另一个日期合并的行之后的 1-2 天，因此它们被排除在外。如何在日期合并但允许日期之间最多间隔 2 天？

我的数据：

#Random letters to fill out a pathology report
pathRep<-replicate(20,paste(sample(LETTERS,50,replace=T),collapse=""))
pathDate<-as.Date(c("1993-12-22","1994-05-16","1992-07-20","1996-06-02","1992-04-20","1996-08-30","1992-01-26","1991-03-23","1995-12-28","1995-07-15","1993-04-04","1994-01-11","1999-08-21","1993-11-10","1994-02-26","1992-08-06","1993-06-29","1997-03-08","1998-03-03","1998-04-17"))
#Random Numbers
pathHospitalNum<-c("H432243","T662272","G424284","W787634","H432243","Y980037","H432243","W787634","Y980037","E432243","U874287","Y980037","U874287","W787634","Y980037","H432243","Y980037","E432243","W787634","W787634")
#Create the dataframe
pathdf<-data.frame(pathRep,pathDate,pathHospitalNum)
#Random letters to fill out a pathology report
EndoRep<-replicate(20,paste(sample(LETTERS,50,replace=T),collapse=""))
EndoDate<-as.Date(c("1993-12-22","1994-05-14","1992-07-19","1996-06-01","1992-04-20","1996-08-30","1992-01-24","1991-03-21","1995-12-28","1995-07-15","1993-04-02","1994-01-10","1999-08-21","1993-11-10","1994-02-26","1992-08-05","1993-06-29","1997-03-07","1998-03-03","1998-04-17"))
#Random Numbers
EndoHospitalNum<-c("H432243","T662272","G424284","W787634","H432243","Y980037","H432243","W787634","Y980037","E432243","U874287","Y980037","U874287","W787634","Y980037","H432243","Y980037","E432243","W787634","W787634")
#Create the dataframe:
Endodf<-data.frame(EndoRep,EndoDate,EndoHospitalNum)

这只是合并了确切的日期：

merge(Endodf,pathdf,by=c("Date","HospNum"))

我想也许我可以创建一个 difftime 列，但我想我最终会将每个日期与每个日期进行比较，这可能很耗时？

虽然@alaybourn对data.table滚动连接的回答非常好，但我将添加另一个选项来解决问题的"允许日期之间最多 2 天的差异"部分(但主要只是为了分享对fuzzyjoin包的一些热爱(。

Answer 2

如果您在data.table中使用roll="nearest"选项，它将适用于此集合，但如果您尝试不加入日期> 2 天不同，它将失败。
