Averaging help in awk
Hi all,

I have a data file like below, where Time is in the second column

Code:
DATE                      TIME                      FRAC_DAYS_SINCE_JAN1      
2011-06-25                08:03:20.000              175.33564815 
2011-06-25                08:03:25.000              175.33570602
2011-06-25                08:03:30.000              175.33576389 
2011-06-25                08:03:35.000              175.33582176

There are about 20 or so columns. The data file contains data every 5 seconds (as shown above), I need to find a way to average the data every 30 minutes. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks a lot

Yes, of course. But why awk? It's very easy for scripting languages with big integers - just convert the third row to such integers and follow differences. It's 2083320 for 30 minutes. This numbers are not fit in 32 bits so big ints (and with float numbers results wouldn't be exact). It's a snap with Ruby or Python. (And maybe with awk but I think it may depends on awk version and it needs testing).
But even best programmers need to test their simplest programs and why somebody should want to write those tests for you? Give more rows (not every 5 seconds but with selection of different hours and maybe dates) and some columns with different and real data (what are they?) and you can get help.

I have written a script in awk that edits the raw data into a format that can be analysed by a pre written program. However with 5 second data, the quantity that is read into the program is huge (and therefore takes a very long time). Averaging this 5 second data into 30 minute data will be most helpful.

A snippet of all the columns of the data is below

Code:
DATE                      TIME                      FRAC_DAYS_SINCE_JAN1      FRAC_HRS_SINCE_JAN1       EPOCH_TIME                ALARM_STATUS              species                   solenoid_valves           MPVPosition               OutletValve               CavityPressure            CavityTemp                WarmBoxTemp               EtalonTemp                DasTemp                   CO2_sync                  CO2_dry_sync              CH4_sync                  CH4_dry_sync              H2O_sync

Hi,

Try next 'perl' program:
Code:
$ cat script.pl
use warnings;
use strict;

## 30min * 60min/sec / 5sec/line
my $lines_to_average = (30 * 60 / 5)+1;
# $lines_to_average = 3; #Test for ten seconds.

my $proc_lines = 0;
my ($init_date, $end_date, $total_frac_days);

while ( <> ) {
        ## Skip header.
        next if $. == 1;

        ## Remove last '\n'.
        chomp;

        ## Sum 'frac_days' while not reached to average time.
        if ( $proc_lines < $lines_to_average ) {
                my ($date,$frac_day) = (split)[1,2];
                ++$proc_lines;
                $total_frac_days += $frac_day;
                $init_date = $date if $proc_lines == 1;
                if ( $proc_lines == $lines_to_average || eof() ) {
                        $end_date = $date;
                } else {
                        next;
                }
        }

        printf "%s-%s %.8f\n", $init_date, $end_date, $total_frac_days / $lines_to_average;
        $proc_lines = $total_frac_days = 0;

}

I've made a test (changing the $lines_to_average variable) with an average of ten seconds, which results in an output of two lines: initDate-endDate<space>average
Here the script running:
Code:
$ cat infile
DATE                      TIME                      FRAC_DAYS_SINCE_JAN1

Adapt it to your needs.

But agree with yazu, give better examples and how you want your output, what have you tried to solve it, etc.

And I see the task differently. I'm not sure I understand you right but I'm afraid it's not my fault. I changed your file for testing:
Code:
 awk '
NR != 1 { print $3, $4, $5; 
          $3++; printf "%.8f %.6f %.3f\n", $3, $4, $5}
' YOURFILE | sort > INPUTFILE

The first part has the same values as the second, but they are different in time (more then 30 minutes). The time tag shows the time when the difference between lines becomes more then 30 minutes or the time of the last line of the file. Test data in INPUTFILE in columns 2 and 3 are time tags too. You are really have 4 ($1$2, $3, $4, $5 of YOURFILE) time tags. You can take for your tests another columns.
The results should be the same and they are the same and they look right:
Code:
awk -vSCALE=100000000 -vDIF=2083320 -vprev=17533564815 '
{
  cur = cur+($1*SCALE-prev)
  prev = $1*SCALE

  if (cur > DIF) {
    printf $1 " "
    for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {
      printf "%f ", a[i]/c; a[i] = 0  # format output for your needs
    }
    printf "\n"
    c = 0; cur = 0
  }

  for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {
    a[i] += $i;
  }
  c++
}
END {
  printf $1 " "
  for (i=2; i<=NF; i++)
    printf "%f ", a[i]/c
  print ""
}' INPUTFILE

I think you want an average for every 360 lines (30 minutes=30*60 seconds = 30*60/5 readings).

Pseudo code in awk.
BEGIN lines=0; total=0


REGULAR
lines++
If lines=360 then print total/360;initialise total.
total+=$2

END
print total/lines

I apologise if I've been ambiguous, I shall attempt to clarify the task.

I wish the output file to look like this

Except I need all the columns values (FRAC_DAYS through to H2O_sync) to be averaged to 30 minutes aswell.

So essentially as ananthap put it, an average every 360 lines. I tried incorporating the code ananthap suggested into the script but it didn't work.

Is this clearer? I'll try to explain again if you need me to.

Thanks guys

Managed to find the 30 minute averages using this code

Code:
awk 'NR>1 -F ";" {a[int((NR-1)/720)]+=$17;b[int((NR-1)/720)]+=$19};END{print "CO2 CH4";for (i=0;i<NR/360;i++){print a[i]/360,b[i]/360}}' INPUTFILE

But it just prints the averages to the Shell. What would I have to do to replace the data above to get it into the desired output (as shown in my previous post).

Cheers
