I have some dataframe. Here is a small expample:
a <- rnorm(100, 5, 2)
b <- rnorm(100, 10, 3)
c <- rnorm(100, 15, 4)
df <- data.frame(a, b, c)
And I have a character variable vect <- "c('a','b')"
When I try to calculate sum of vars using command
df$d <- df[vect]
which must be an equivalent of
df$d <- df[c('a','b')]
But, as a reslut I have got an error
[.data.frame(df, vect) :undefined columns selected
You're assumption that
vect <- "c('a','b')"
df$d <- df[vect]
is equivalent to
df$d <- df[c('a','b')]
is incorrect.
As #Karthik points out, you should remove the quotation marks in the assignment to vect
However, from your question it sounds like you want to then sum the elements specified in vect and then assign to d. To do this you need to slightly change your code
vect <- c('a','b')
df$d <- apply(X = df[vect], MARGIN = 1, FUN = sum)
This does elementwise sum on the columns in df specified by vect. The MARGIN = 1 specifies that we want to apply the sum rowise rather than columnwise.
EDIT:
As #ThomasIsCoding points out below, if for some reason vect has to be a string, you can parse a string to an R expression using str2lang
vect <- "c('a','b')"
parsed_vect <- eval(str2lang(vect))
df$d <- apply(X = df[parsed_vect], MARGIN = 1, FUN = sum)
Perhaps you can try
> df[eval(str2lang(vect))]

I have a data set that runs from 1991-01 to 1996-12 in R. In order to calculate some time-dependent metrics on some of the data set, I am trying to have a "months since first entry" column. To do so I need to convert a number like 9107 into 07, 9207 into 12+7=19, and 9301 into 12+12+1=25. Ie, the first two digits specify a full year (12 months), and the last two digits specify months since January (01). How would I go about this?
Thank you!
May be, we can use substr (splitted in multiple lines for more clarity and also as.integer)
yrs <- as.integer(substr(v1, 1, 2))
mths <- as.integer(substr(v1, 3, 4))
mths[mths == 1] <- 0
12 * (yrs - yrs[1]) + mths
#[1] 7 19 24
Or without substr
yrs <- v1 %/% 100
12 * (yrs - yrs[1]) + (v1 %% 100)
data
v1 <- c(9107, 9207, 9301)
Using the substrings.
(as.numeric(substr(x, 2, 2)) - 1)*12 + as.numeric(substr(x, 3, 4)) - 1
# [1] 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
# [24] 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45
# [47] 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68
# [70] 69 70 71
I believe, 9101 should be 0, since it is the distance of itself.
Data:
x <- c(9101, 9102, 9103, 9104, 9105, 9106, 9107, 9108, 9109, 9110,
9111, 9112, 9201, 9202, 9203, 9204, 9205, 9206, 9207, 9208, 9209,
9210, 9211, 9212, 9301, 9302, 9303, 9304, 9305, 9306, 9307, 9308,
9309, 9310, 9311, 9312, 9401, 9402, 9403, 9404, 9405, 9406, 9407,
9408, 9409, 9410, 9411, 9412, 9501, 9502, 9503, 9504, 9505, 9506,
9507, 9508, 9509, 9510, 9511, 9512, 9601, 9602, 9603, 9604, 9605,
9606, 9607, 9608, 9609, 9610, 9611, 9612)
I have 2880 observations in my data.frame. I have to create a new data.frame in which, I have to select rows from 25-77 from every 96 selected rows.
df.new = df[seq(25, nrow(df), 77), ] # extract from 25 to 77
The above code extracts only row number 25 to 77 but I want every row from 25 to 77 in every 96 rows.
One option is to create a vector of indeces with which subset the dataframe.
idx <- rep(25:77, times = nrow(df)/96) + 96*rep(0:29, each = 77-25+1)
df[idx, ]
You can use recycling technique to extract these rows :
from = 25
to = 77
n = 96
df.new <- df[rep(c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE), c(from - 1, to - from + 1, n - to))), ]
To explain for this example it will work as :
length(rep(c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE), c(24, 53, 19))) #returns
#[1] 96
In these 96 values, value 25-77 are TRUE and rest of them are FALSE which we can verify by :
which(rep(c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE), c(24, 53, 19)))
# [1] 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46
#[23] 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68
#[45] 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77
Now this vector is recycled for all the remaining rows in the dataframe.
First, define a Group variable, with values 1 to 30, each value repeating 96 times. Then define RowWithinGroup and filter as required. Finally, undo the changes introduced to do the filtering.
df <- tibble(X=rnorm(2880)) %>%
add_column(Group=rep(1:96, each=30)) %>%
group_by(Group) %>%
mutate(RowWithinGroup=row_number()) %>%
filter(RowWithinGroup >= 25 & RowWithinGroup <= 77) %>%
select(-Group, -RowWithinGroup) %>%
ungroup()
Welcome to SO. This question may not have been asked in this exact form before, but the proinciples required have been rerefenced in many, many questions and answers,
A one-liner base solution.
lapply(split(df, cut(1:nrow(df), nrow(df)/96, F)), `[`, 25:77, )
Note: Nothing after the last comma
The code above returns a list. To combine all data together, just pass the result above into
do.call(rbind, ...)
I am working on a data set which is large and having many columns. I am using data.table to speed up the calculations. However at certain points I am not sure how to go about and convert my data.table back to data.frame and do the calculation. This slows up the process. It would help a lot to have suggestions on how I can write the below in data.table. Below is a snap of my code on a dummy data -
library(data.table)
#### set the seed value
set.seed(9901)
#### create the sample variables for creating the data
p01 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
p02 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
p03 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
p04 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
p05 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
p06 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
p07 <- sample(1:100,1000,replace = T)
#### create the data.table
data <- data.table(cbind(p01,p02,p03,p04,p05,p06,p07))
###user input for last column
lcol <- 6
###calculate start column as last - 3
scol <- lcol-3
###calculate average for scol:lcol
data <- data[,avg:= apply(.SD,1,mean,na.rm=T),.SDcols=scol:lcol]
###converting to data.frame since do not know the solution in data.table
data <- as.data.frame(data)
###calculate the trend in percentage
data$t01 <- data[,lcol-00]/data[,"avg"]-1
data$t02 <- data[,lcol-01]/data[,"avg"]-1
data$t03 <- data[,lcol-02]/data[,"avg"]-1
data$t04 <- data[,lcol-03]/data[,"avg"]-1
data$t05 <- data[,lcol-04]/data[,"avg"]-1
###converting back to data.table
data <- as.data.table(data)
###calculate the min and max for the trend
data1 <- data[,`:=` (trend_min = apply(.SD,1,min,na.rm=T),
trend_max = apply(.SD,1,max,na.rm=T)),.SDcols=c(scol:lcol)]
###calculate flag if any of t04 OR t05 is an outlier for min and max values. This would be many columns in actual data
data1$flag1 <- ifelse(data1$t04 < data1$trend_min | data1$t04 > data1$trend_max,1,0)
data1$flag2 <- ifelse(data1$t05 < data1$trend_min | data1$t05 > data1$trend_max,1,0)
data1$flag <- ifelse(data1$flag1 == 1 | data1$flag2 == 1,1,0)
So basically, how can I -
calculate the percentages based on user input of column index. Note it is not simple divide but percentage
How can I create the flag variable....I think I need to use any function but not sure how....
Some steps can be made more efficient, i.e. instead of using the apply with MARGIN = 1, the mean, min, max can be replaced with rowMeans, pmin, pmax
library(data.table)
data[ , avg:= rowMeans(.SD, na.rm = TRUE) ,.SDcols=scol:lcol]
data[, sprintf('t%02d', 1:5) := lapply(.SD, function(x) x/avg -1),
.SDcol = patterns("^p0[1-5]")]
data[,`:=` (trend_min = do.call(pmin, c(.SD,na.rm=TRUE)),
trend_max = do.call(pmax, c(.SD,na.rm=TRUE)) ),.SDcols=c(scol:lcol)]
data

and then create the 'flag'
data[, flag := +(Reduce(`|`, lapply(.SD, function(x)
x < trend_min| x > trend_max))), .SDcols = t04:t05]
Say I have a matrix with 1000 columns. I want to create a new matrix with every other n columns from the original matrix, starting from column i.
So let say that n=3 and i=5, then the columns I need from the old matrix are 5,6,7,11,12,13,17,18,19 and so on.
Using two seq()s to create the start and stop bounds, then using a mapply() on those to build your true column index intervals. Then just normal bracket notation to extract from your matrix.
set.seed(1)
# using 67342343's test case
M <- matrix(runif(100^2), ncol = 100)
n <- 3
i <- 5
starts <- seq(i, ncol(M), n*2)
stops <- seq(i+(n-1), ncol(M), n*2)
col_index <- c(mapply(seq, starts, stops)) # thanks Jaap and Sotos
col_index
[1] 5 6 7 11 12 13 17 18 19 23 24 25 29 30 31 35 36 37 41 42 43 47 48 49 53 54 55 59 60 61 65 66 67 71 72 73 77 78
[39] 79 83 84 85 89 90 91 95 96 97
M[, col_index]
Another solution is based on the fact that R uses index recycling:
i <- 5; n <- 3
M <- matrix(runif(100^2), ncol = 100)
id <- seq(i, ncol(M), by = 1)[rep(c(TRUE, FALSE), each = n)]
M_sub <- M[, id]
I would write a function that determines the indices of the columns you want, and then call that function as needed.
col_indexes <- function(mat, start = 1, by = 1){
n <- ncol(mat)
inx <- seq(start, n, by = 2*by)
inx <- c(sapply(inx, function(i) i:(i + by -1)))
inx[inx <= n]
}
m <- matrix(0, nrow = 1, ncol = 20)
icol <- col_indexes(m, 5, 3)
icol
[1] 5 6 7 11 12 13 17 18 19
Here is a method using outer.
c(outer(5:7, seq(0L, 95L, 6L), "+"))
[1] 5 6 7 11 12 13 17 18 19 23 24 25 29 30 31 35 36 37 41 42 43 47 48 49 53
[26] 54 55 59 60 61 65 66 67 71 72 73 77 78 79 83 84 85 89 90 91 95 96 97
To generalize this, you could do
idx <- c(outer(seq(i, i + n), seq(0L, ncol(M) - i, 2 * n), "+"))
The idea is to construct the initial set of columns (5:7 or seq(i, i + n)), calculate the starting points for every subsequent set (seq(0L, 95L, 6L) or seq(0L, ncol(M) - i, 2 * n)) then use outer to calculate the sum of every combination of these two vectors.
you can subset the matrix using [ like M[, idx].
I have a nested loops which produce outputs that I want to store in list objects with dynamic names. A toy example of this would look as follows:
set.seed(8020)
names<-sample(LETTERS,5,replace = F)
for(n in names)
{
#Create the list
assign(paste0("examples_",n),list())
#Poulate the list
get(paste0("examples_",n))[[1]]<-sample(100,10)
get(paste0("examples_",n))[[2]]<-sample(100,10)
get(paste0("examples_",n))[[3]]<-sample(100,10)
}
Unfortunately I keep getting the error:
Error in get(paste0("examples_", n))[[1]] <- sample(100, 10) :
target of assignment expands to non-language object
I have tried all kind of assign, eval, get type of functions to parse the object, but haven't had any luck
Expanding on my comment with a worked example:
examples <- vector(mode="list", length=length(names) )
names(examples) <- names # please change that to mynames
# or almost anything other than `names`
examples <- lapply( examples, function(L) {L[[1]] <- sample(100,10)
L[[2]] <- sample(100,10)
L[[3]] <- sample(100,10); L} )
# Top of the output:
> examples

This mode of programming does become more natural over time. It gets you out of writing clunky for-loops all the time. Develop your algorithms for a single list-node at a time and then use sapply or lapply to iterate the processing.
