Write function for exponential aggregation using R/Python


Input -->[10,20,30,40,50]  
Desired Output  ---> [10,19.21,56.51,110.83,181.14] 
 
**Calculation**  
10-->10  
20-->20*exp(-0.04)  
30-->30*exp(-0.04)+((30*exp(-0.04))*exp(-0.04))  
40--->40*exp(-0.04)+((40*exp(-0.04))*exp(-0.04))+(((40*exp(-0.04))*exp(-0.04))*exp(-0.04)))

Attaching calculation table for easy understanding

Please help me to write function to resolve the above issue using R and python code


Solution

  • Not sure how to do this in R but it is pretty straightforward in Python. You will need numpy for this in order to get the exponential of -0.04.

    import numpy as np
    
    def data_agg(data):
        results = []
        exp = np.exp(-0.04)
        for num in data:
            iters = (num // 10) - 1
            if iters == 0:
                results.append(num)
            else:
                tmp = 0
                while iters > 0:
                    tmp += num * pow(exp, iters)
                    iters -= 1
                results.append(round(tmp, 3))
        return results
    
    data_agg(data)
    
    >> [10, 19.216, 56.517, 110.833, 181.149]
