Frequency count for multiple columns with same values - r

I'd like to make a frequency count individually for multiple columns with same possible values. The idea is to keep all columns from original data table, just adding a new one for levels and aggregating.
Here is an example of input data:
foo <- data.table(a = c(1,3,2,3,3), b = c(2,3,3,1,1), c = c(3,1,2,3,2))
# a b c
#1: 1 2 3
#2: 3 3 1
#3: 2 3 2
#4: 3 1 3
#5: 3 1 2
And desired output:
data.table(levels = 1:3, a = c(1,1,3), b = c(2,1,2), c = c(1,2,2))
# levels a b c
#1: 1 1 2 1
#2: 2 1 1 2
#3: 3 3 2 2
Thanks for helping !

We may use
library(data.table)
dcast(melt(foo)[, .N, .(variable, levels = value)],
levels ~ variable, value.var = 'N')
-output
Key: <levels>
levels a b c
<num> <int> <int> <int>
1: 1 1 2 1
2: 2 1 1 2
3: 3 3 2 2
Or using base R
table(stack(foo))
ind
values a b c
1 1 2 1
2 1 1 2
3 3 2 2

You could also use recast from reshape2:
reshape2::recast(foo, value~variable)
# No id variables; using all as measure variables
# Aggregation function missing: defaulting to length
value a b c
1 1 1 2 1
2 2 1 1 2
3 3 3 2 2
or even
reshape2::recast(foo, value~variable, length)

Here is an option using purrr and dplyr from the tidyverse:
library(purrr)
library(dplyr)
foo %>%
imap(~ as.data.frame(table(.x, dnn = "levels"), responseName = .y)) %>%
reduce(left_join, by = "levels")
Alternatively, you could use the pivot functions from tidyr:
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
foo %>%
pivot_longer(everything(),
values_to = "levels") %>%
count(name, levels) %>%
pivot_wider(id_cols = levels,
names_from = name,
values_from = n)

foo |>
melt() |>
dcast(value ~ variable, fun.aggregate = length)
# value a b c
# 1: 1 1 2 1
# 2: 2 1 1 2
# 3: 3 3 2 2

Multiplying column value by another value matching column name R

I have a data frame which looks like this:
Value1 = c("1","2","1","3")
Letter = c("A","B","B","A")
A = c("2","2","0","1")
B = c("1","1","1","0")
data <- data.frame(Value1,Letter,A,B)
data
Value1 Letter A B
1 1 A 2 1
2 2 B 2 1
3 1 B 0 1
4 3 A 1 0
I'm trying to add a new column which is the multiplication of column Value1, by column A or B depending on what is in the Letter column. The expected result would be:
Value1 Letter A B Results
1 1 A 2 1 2
2 2 B 2 1 2
3 1 B 0 1 1
4 3 A 1 0 3
I'm trying to use the match() function, but without success.
Thanks!
With base R:
data <- type.convert(data, as.is = TRUE)
data$Results <- ifelse(data$Letter == 'A', data$A * data$Value1, data$B * data$Value1)
Output
Value1 Letter A B Results
1 1 A 2 1 2
2 2 B 2 1 2
3 1 B 0 1 1
4 3 A 1 0 3
Another option would be to pivot to long form, do the calculation, then pivot back to wide format.
library(tidyverse)
data %>%
type.convert(as.is = TRUE) %>%
pivot_longer(c(A, B)) %>%
mutate(Results = ifelse(Letter == name, value * Value1, NA_integer_)) %>%
pivot_wider(names_from = "name", values_from = "value") %>%
group_by(Value1, Letter) %>%
summarise_all(discard, is.na)
Output
Value1 Letter Results A B
<int> <chr> <int> <int> <int>
1 1 A 2 2 1
2 1 B 1 0 1
3 2 B 2 2 1
4 3 A 3 1 0
Use case_when or ifelse
library(dplyr)
data <- data %>%
type.convert(as.is = TRUE) %>%
mutate(Results = case_when(Letter == 'A' ~ A * Value1,
TRUE ~ B * Value1))
-output
data
Value1 Letter A B Results
1 1 A 2 1 2
2 2 B 2 1 2
3 1 B 0 1 1
4 3 A 1 0 3
Or use get with rowwise
data <- data %>%
type.convert(as.is = TRUE) %>%
rowwise %>%
mutate(Result = get(Letter) * Value1) %>%
# or may also use
# mutate(Result = cur_data()[[Letter]] * Value1) %>%
ungroup
-output
data
# A tibble: 4 × 5
Value1 Letter A B Result
<int> <chr> <int> <int> <int>
1 1 A 2 1 2
2 2 B 2 1 2
3 1 B 0 1 1
4 3 A 1 0 3
In base R, we may use row/column indexing as vectorized option
data <- type.convert(data, as.is = TRUE)
nm1 <- unique(data$Letter)
data$Results <-data[nm1][cbind(seq_len(nrow(data)),
match(data$Letter, nm1))] * data$Value1

Why does the grouping function in the for loop not work?

For some reason, the i term in the for loop cannot be used as the grouping name. I have 40 elements in the for loop. I am showing just 2 here as an example.
data = data.table(id = c(1,1,1,1,1), a = c(1,1,2,3,NA), b = c(1,2,2,NA,3))
> data
id a b
1: 1 1 1
2: 1 1 2
3: 1 2 2
4: 1 3 NA
5: 1 NA 3
categories = data.table(CATEGORY = c(1,2,3,NA))
> categories
CATEGORY
1: 1
2: 2
3: 3
4: NA
What I have done:
for (i in colnames(data)[2:3]){
dt = data[, .N, i][order(i)]
setnames(dt, "N", i)
categories = cbind(categories, dt[,2])
}
> categories
CATEGORY a b
1: 1 2 1
2: 2 2 1
3: 3 2 1
4: NA 2 1
I have also tried the dplyr piping instead of the data.table .N and it did not work:
data %>% count(i)
What I need:
> categories
CATEGORY a b
1: 1 2 1
2: 2 1 2
3: 3 1 1
4: NA 1 1
You could reshape the data instead which would make this easier to calculate.
In data.table :
library(data.table)
long_data <- melt(data, 'id')
dcast(long_data[, .N, .(variable, value)], value~variable, value.var = 'N')
# value a b
#1: NA 1 1
#2: 1 2 1
#3: 2 1 2
#4: 3 1 1
Or in tidyverse :
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
data %>%
pivot_longer(cols = -id) %>%
count(name, value) %>%
pivot_wider(names_from = name, values_from = n)

Merging columns while ignoring NAs

I would like to merge multiple columns. Here is what my sample dataset looks like.
df <- data.frame(
id = c(1,2,3,4,5),
cat.1 = c(3,4,NA,4,2),
cat.2 = c(3,NA,1,4,NA),
cat.3 = c(3,4,1,4,2))
> df
id cat.1 cat.2 cat.3
1 1 3 3 3
2 2 4 NA 4
3 3 NA 1 1
4 4 4 4 4
5 5 2 NA 2
I am trying to merge columns cat.1 cat.2 and cat.3. It is a little complicated for me since there are NAs.
I need to have only one cat variable and even some columns have NA, I need to ignore them. The desired output is below:
> df
id cat
1 1 3
2 2 4
3 3 1
4 4 4
5 5 2
Any thoughts?
Another variation of Gregor's answer using dplyr::transmute:
library(dplyr)
df %>%
transmute(id = id, cat = coalesce(cat.1, cat.2, cat.3))
#> id cat
#> 1 1 3
#> 2 2 4
#> 3 3 1
#> 4 4 4
#> 5 5 2
With dplyr:
library(dplyr)
df %>%
mutate(cat = coalesce(cat.1, cat.2, cat.3)) %>%
select(-cat.1, -cat.2, -cat.3)
An option with fcoalesce from data.table
library(data.table)
setDT(df)[, .(id, cat = do.call(fcoalesce, .SD)), .SDcols = patterns('^cat')]
-output
# id cat
#1: 1 3
#2: 2 4
#3: 3 1
#4: 4 4
#5: 5 2
Does this work:
> library(dplyr)
> df %>% rowwise() %>% mutate(cat = mean(c(cat.1, cat.2, cat.3), na.rm = T)) %>% select(-(2:4))
# A tibble: 5 x 2
# Rowwise:
id cat
<dbl> <dbl>
1 1 3
2 2 4
3 3 1
4 4 4
5 5 2
Since values across rows are unique, mean of the rows will return the same unique value, can also go with max or min.
Here is a base R solution which uses apply:
df$cat <- apply(df, 1, function(x) unique(x[!is.na(x)][-1]))

R group by key get max value for multiple columns

I want to do something like this:
How to make a unique in R by column A and keep the row with maximum value in column B
Except my data.table has one key column, and multiple value columns. So say I have the following:
a b c
1: 1 1 1
2: 1 2 1
3: 1 2 2
4: 2 1 1
5: 2 2 5
6: 2 3 3
7: 3 1 4
8: 3 2 1
If the key is column a, I want for each unique a to return the row with the maximum b, and if there is more than one unique max b, get the one with the max c and so on for multiple columns. So the result should be:
a b c
1: 1 2 2
2: 2 3 3
3: 3 2 1
I'd also like this to be done for an arbitrary number of columns. So if my data.table had 20 columns, I'd want the max function to be applied in order from left to right.
Here is a suggested data.table solution. You might want to consider using data.table::frankv as follows:
DT[, .SD[frankv(.SD, ties.method="first")[.N],], by=a]
frankv returns the order. Then [.N] will take the largest rank. Then .SD[ subset to that particular row.
Please let me know if it fails for your larger dataset.
to make this work for any number of columns, a possible dplyr solution would be to use arrange_all
df <- data.frame(a = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3), b = c(1,2,2,1,2,3,1,2),
c = c(1,1,2,1,5,3,4,1))
df %>% group_by(a) %>% arrange_all() %>% filter(row_number() == n())
# A tibble: 3 x 3
# Groups: a [3]
# a b c
# 1 1 2 2
# 2 2 3 3
# 3 3 2 1
The generic solution can be achieved for arbitrary number of column using mutate_at. In the below example c("a","b","c") are arbitrary columns.
library(dplyr)
df %>% arrange_at(.vars = vars(c("a","b","c"))) %>%
mutate(changed = ifelse(a != lead(a), TRUE, FALSE)) %>%
filter(is.na(changed) | changed ) %>%
select(-changed)
a b c
1 1 2 2
2 2 3 3
3 3 2 1
Another option could be using max and dplyr as below. The approach is to first group_by on a and then filter for max value of b. The again group_by on both a and b and filter for rows with max value of c.
library(dplyr)
df %>% group_by(a) %>%
filter(b == max(b)) %>%
group_by(a, b) %>%
filter(c == max(c))
# Groups: a, b [3]
# a b c
# <int> <int> <int>
#1 1 2 2
#2 2 3 3
#3 3 2 1
Data
df <- read.table(text = "a b c
1: 1 1 1
2: 1 2 1
3: 1 2 2
4: 2 1 1
5: 2 2 5
6: 2 3 3
7: 3 1 4
8: 3 2 1", header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
dat <- data.frame(a = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3),
b = c(1,2,2,1,2,3,1,2),
c = c(1,1,2,1,5,3,4,1))
library(sqldf)
sqldf("with d as (select * from 'dat' group by a order by b, c desc) select * from d order by a")
a b c
1 1 2 2
2 2 3 3
3 3 2 1

Fill sequence by factor

I need to fill $Year with missing values of the sequence by the factor of $Country. The $Count column can just be padded out with 0's.
Country Year Count
A 1 1
A 2 1
A 4 2
B 1 1
B 3 1
So I end up with
Country Year Count
A 1 1
A 2 1
A 3 0
A 4 2
B 1 1
B 2 0
B 3 1
Hope that's clear guys, thanks in advance!
This is a dplyr/tidyr solution using complete and full_seq:
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
df %>% group_by(Country) %>% complete(Year=full_seq(Year,1),fill=list(Count=0))
Country Year Count
<chr> <dbl> <dbl>
1 A 1 1
2 A 2 1
3 A 3 0
4 A 4 2
5 B 1 1
6 B 2 0
7 B 3 1
library(data.table)
# d is your original data.frame
setDT(d)
foo <- d[, .(Year = min(Year):max(Year)), Country]
res <- merge(d, foo, all.y = TRUE)[is.na(Count), Count := 0]
Similar to #PoGibas' answer:
library(data.table)
# set default values
def = list(Count = 0L)
# create table with all levels
fullDT = setkey(DT[, .(Year = seq(min(Year), max(Year))), by=Country])
# initialize to defaults
fullDT[, names(def) := def ]
# overwrite from data
fullDT[DT, names(def) := mget(sprintf("i.%s", names(def))) ]
which gives
Country Year Count
1: A 1 1
2: A 2 1
3: A 3 0
4: A 4 2
5: B 1 1
6: B 2 0
7: B 3 1
This generalizes to having more columns (besides Count). I guess similar functionality exists in the "tidyverse", with a name like "expand" or "complete".
Another base R idea can be to split on Country, use setdiff to find the missing values from the seq(max(Year)), and rbind them to original data frame. Use do.call to rbind the list back to a data frame, i.e.
d1 <- do.call(rbind, c(lapply(split(df, df$Country), function(i){
x <- rbind(i, data.frame(Country = i$Country[1],
Year = setdiff(seq(max(i$Year)), i$Year),
Count = 0));
x[with(x, order(Year)),]}), make.row.names = FALSE))
which gives,
Country Year Count
1 A 1 1
2 A 2 1
3 A 3 0
4 A 4 2
5 B 1 1
6 B 2 0
7 B 3 1
> setkey(DT,Country,Year)
> DT[setkey(DT[, .(min(Year):max(Year)), by = Country], Country, V1)]
Country Year Count
1: A 1 1
2: A 2 1
3: A 3 NA
4: A 4 2
5: B 1 1
6: B 2 NA
7: B 3 1
Another dplyr and tidyr solution.
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
dt2 <- dt %>%
group_by(Country) %>%
do(data_frame(Country = unique(.$Country),
Year = full_seq(.$Year, 1))) %>%
full_join(dt, by = c("Country", "Year")) %>%
replace_na(list(Count = 0))
Here is an approach in base R that uses tapply, do.call, range, and seq, to calculate year sequences. Then constructs a data.frame from the named list that is returned, merges this onto the original which adds the desired rows, and finally fills in missing values.
# get named list with year sequences
temp <- tapply(dat$Year, dat$Country, function(x) do.call(seq, as.list(range(x))))
# construct data.frame
mydf <- data.frame(Year=unlist(temp), Country=rep(names(temp), lengths(temp)))
# merge onto original
mydf <- merge(dat, mydf, all=TRUE)
# fill in missing values
mydf[is.na(mydf)] <- 0
This returns
mydf
Country Year Count
1 A 1 1
2 A 2 1
3 A 3 0
4 A 4 2
5 B 1 1
6 B 2 0
7 B 3 1
