stderr in dplyr (R): What am I doing wrong? - r

I'm trying to calculate year-wise standard error for the variable AcrePrice. I'm running the function stderr (also tried with sd(acrePrice)/count(n)). Both of these return an error.
Here's the relevant code:
library(alr4)
library(tidyverse)
MinnLand %>% group_by(year) %>% summarize(sd(acrePrice)/count(n))
MinnLand %>% group_by(year) %>% summarize(stderr(acrePrice))
Why is there a problem? The mean and SDs are easily calculated.

The issue with the first function is count, which requires a data.frame, instead it would be n()
library(dplyr)
MinnLand %>%
group_by(year) %>%
summarize(SE = sd(acrePrice)/n(), .groups = 'drop')
-output
# A tibble: 10 x 2
# year SE
# <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 2002 2.25
# 2 2003 0.840
# 3 2004 0.742
# 4 2005 0.862
# 5 2006 0.849
# 6 2007 0.765
# 7 2008 0.708
# 8 2009 1.23
# 9 2010 0.986
#10 2011 1.95
According to ?stderr
stdin(), stdout() and stderr() are standard connections corresponding to input, output and error on the console respectively (and not necessarily to file streams).
We can use std.error from plotrix
library(plotrix)
MinnLand %>%
group_by(year) %>%
summarize(SE = std.error(acrePrice))
-output
# A tibble: 10 x 2
# year SE
# <dbl> <dbl>
# 1 2002 53.4
# 2 2003 38.6
# 3 2004 37.0
# 4 2005 41.5
# 5 2006 39.7
# 6 2007 36.3
# 7 2008 34.9
# 8 2009 47.1
# 9 2010 42.1
#10 2011 63.6

finding minimum for a column based on another column and keep result as a data frame

I have a data frame with five columns:
year<- c(2000,2000,2000,2001,2001,2001,2002,2002,2002)
k<- c(12.5,11.5,10.5,-8.5,-9.5,-10.5,13.9,14.9,15.9)
pop<- c(143,147,154,445,429,430,178,181,211)
pop_obs<- c(150,150,150,440,440,440,185,185,185)
df<- data_frame(year,k,pop,pop_obs)
df<-
year k pop pop_obs
<dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 12.5 143 150
2 2000 11.5 147 150
3 2000 10.5 154 150
4 2001 -8.5 445 440
5 2001 -9.5 429 440
6 2001 -10.5 430 440
7 2002 13.9 178 185
8 2002 14.9 181 185
9 2002 15.9 211 185
what I want is, based on each year and each k which value of pop has minimum difference of pop_obs. finally, I want to keep result as a data frame based on each year and each k.
my expected output would be like this:
year k
<dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 11.5
2 2001 -8.5
3 2003 14.9
You could try with dplyr
df<- data.frame(year,k,pop,pop_obs)
library(dplyr)
df %>%
mutate(diff = abs(pop_obs - pop)) %>%
group_by(year) %>%
filter(diff == min(diff)) %>%
select(year, k)
#> # A tibble: 3 x 2
#> # Groups: year [3]
#> year k
#> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 2000 11.5
#> 2 2001 -8.5
#> 3 2002 14.9

Try tidyverse way
library(tidyverse)
data_you_want = df %>%
group_by(year, k)%>%
mutate(dif=pop-pop_obs)%>%
ungroup() %>%
arrange(desc(dif)) %>%
select(year, k)
Using base R
subset(df, as.logical(ave(abs(pop_obs - pop), year,
FUN = function(x) x == min(x))), select = c('year', 'k'))
# A tibble: 3 × 2
year k
<dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 11.5
2 2001 -8.5
3 2002 14.9

How can I divide into columns the summarize() funtion with tidyverse?

I am struggling with the tidyverse package. I'm using the mpg dataset from R to display the issue that I'm facing (ignore if the relationships are not relevant, it is just for the sake of explaining my problem).
What I'm trying to do is to obtain the average "displ" grouped by manufacturer and year AND at the same time (and this is what I can't figure out), have several columns for each of the fuel types variable (i.e.: a column for the mean of diesel, a column for the mean of petrol, etc.).
This is the first part of the code and I'm new to R so I really don't know what do I need to add...
mpg %>%
group_by(manufacturer, year) %>%
summarize(Mean. = mean(c(displ)))
# A tibble: 30 × 3
# Groups: manufacturer [15]
manufacturer year Mean.
<chr> <int> <dbl>
1 audi 1999 2.36
2 audi 2008 2.73
3 chevrolet 1999 4.97
4 chevrolet 2008 5.12
5 dodge 1999 4.32
6 dodge 2008 4.42
7 ford 1999 4.45
8 ford 2008 4.66
9 honda 1999 1.6
10 honda 2008 1.85
# … with 20 more rows
Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Perhaps, we need to reshape into 'wide'
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
mpg %>%
select(manufacturer, year, fl, displ) %>%
pivot_wider(names_from = fl, values_from = displ, values_fn = mean)
-output

why error: arrange() failed at implicit mutate() step

The following code was executed:
tb <- tibble(
year <- rep(2001:2020,10)
)
tb %<>% arrange(year) %>%
mutate(
id <- rep(1:10,20),
r1 <- rnorm(200,0,1),
r2 <- rnorm(200,1,1),
r3 <- rnorm(200,2,1)
)
Then the error message popped up:
Error: arrange() failed at implicit mutate() step.
x Could not create a temporary column for ..1.
ℹ ..1 is year.
Can anyone shed light on what the reason is?
Try this. It looks like a variable assignation issue. Try replacing <- by = and %<>% by %>%. Here a possible solution:
#Data
tb <- tibble(
year = rep(2001:2020,10)
)
#Code
tb %>% arrange(year) %>%
mutate(
id = rep(1:10,20),
r1 = rnorm(200,0,1),
r2 = rnorm(200,1,1),
r3 = rnorm(200,2,1)
)
Output:
# A tibble: 200 x 5
year id r1 r2 r3

Computing lags but grouping by two categories with dplyr

What I want it's create the var3 using a lag (dplyr package), but should be consistent with the year and the ID. I mean, the lag should belong to the corresponding ID. The dataset is like an unbalanced panel.
YEAR ID VARS
2010 1 -
2011 1 -
2012 1 -
2010 2 -
2011 2 -
2012 2 -
2010 3 -
...
My issue is similar to the following question/post, but grouping by two categories:
dplyr: lead() and lag() wrong when used with group_by()
I tried to extend the solution, unsuccessfully (I get NAs).
Attempt #1:
data %>%
group_by(YEAR,ID) %>%
summarise(var1 = ...
var2 = ...
var3 = var1 - dplyr::lag(var2))
)
Attempt #2:
data %>%
group_by(YEAR,ID) %>%
summarise(var1 = ...
var2 = ...
gr = sprintf(YEAR,ID)
var3 = var1 - dplyr::lag(var2, order_by = gr))
)
Minimum example:
MyData <-
data.frame(YEAR = rep(seq(2010,2014),5),
ID = rep(1:5, each=5),
var1 = rnorm(n=25,mean=10,sd=3),
var2 = rnorm(n=25,mean=1,sd=1)
)
MyData %>%
group_by(YEAR,ID) %>%
summarise(var3 = var1 - dplyr::lag(var2)
)
Thanks in advance.
Do you mean group_by(ID) and effectively "order by YEAR"?
MyData %>%
group_by(ID) %>%
mutate(var3 = var1 - dplyr::lag(var2)) %>%
print(n=99)

Rescale data frame columns as percentages of baseline entry with dplyr

I often need to rescale time series relative to their value at a certain baseline time (usually as a percent of the baseline). Here's an example.
> library(dplyr)
> library(magrittr)
> library(tibble)
> library(tidyr)
# [messages from package imports snipped]
> set.seed(42)
> mexico <- tibble(Year=2000:2004, Country='Mexico', A=10:14+rnorm(5), B=20:24+rnorm(5))
> usa <- tibble(Year=2000:2004, Country='USA', A=30:34+rnorm(5), B=40:44+rnorm(5))
> table <- rbind(mexico, usa)
> table
# A tibble: 10 x 4
Year Country A B
<int> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 Mexico 11.4 19.9
2 2001 Mexico 10.4 22.5
3 2002 Mexico 12.4 21.9
4 2003 Mexico 13.6 25.0
5 2004 Mexico 14.4 23.9
6 2000 USA 31.3 40.6
7 2001 USA 33.3 40.7
8 2002 USA 30.6 39.3
9 2003 USA 32.7 40.6
10 2004 USA 33.9 45.3
I want to scale A and B to express each value as a percent of the country-specific 2001 value (i.e., the A and B entries in rows 2 and 7 should be 100). My way of doing this is somewhat roundabout and awkward: extract the baseline values into a separate table, merge them back into a separate column in the main table, and then compute scaled values, with annoying intermediate gathering and spreading to avoid specifying the column names of each time series (real data sets can have far more than two value columns). Is there a better way to do this, ideally with a single short pipeline?
> long_table <- table %>% gather(variable, value, -Year, -Country)
> long_table
# A tibble: 20 x 4
Year Country variable value
<int> <chr> <chr> <dbl>
1 2000 Mexico A 11.4
2 2001 Mexico A 10.4
#[remaining tibble printout snipped]
> baseline_table <- long_table %>%
filter(Year == 2001) %>%
select(-Year) %>%
rename(baseline=value)
> baseline_table
# A tibble: 4 x 3
Country variable baseline
<chr> <chr> <dbl>
1 Mexico A 10.4
2 USA A 33.3
3 Mexico B 22.5
4 USA B 40.7
> normalized_table <- long_table %>%
inner_join(baseline_table) %>%
mutate(value=100*value/baseline) %>%
select(-baseline) %>%
spread(variable, value) %>%
arrange(Country, Year)
Joining, by = c("Country", "variable")
> normalized_table
# A tibble: 10 x 4
Year Country A B
<int> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 Mexico 109. 88.4
2 2001 Mexico 100. 100
3 2002 Mexico 118. 97.3
4 2003 Mexico 131. 111.
5 2004 Mexico 138. 106.
6 2000 USA 94.0 99.8
7 2001 USA 100 100
8 2002 USA 92.0 96.6
9 2003 USA 98.3 99.6
10 2004 USA 102. 111.
My second attempt was to use transform, but this failed because transform doesn't seem to recognize dplyr groups, and it would be suboptimal even if it worked because it requires me to know that 2001 is the second year in the time series.
> table %>%
arrange(Country, Year) %>%
gather(variable, value, -Year, -Country) %>%
group_by(Country, variable) %>%
transform(norm=value*100/value[2])
Year Country variable value norm
1 2000 Mexico A 11.37096 108.9663
2 2001 Mexico A 10.43530 100.0000
3 2002 Mexico A 12.36313 118.4741
4 2003 Mexico A 13.63286 130.6418
5 2004 Mexico A 14.40427 138.0340
6 2000 USA A 31.30487 299.9901
7 2001 USA A 33.28665 318.9811
8 2002 USA A 30.61114 293.3422
9 2003 USA A 32.72121 313.5627
10 2004 USA A 33.86668 324.5395
11 2000 Mexico B 19.89388 190.6402
12 2001 Mexico B 22.51152 215.7247
13 2002 Mexico B 21.90534 209.9157
14 2003 Mexico B 25.01842 239.7480
15 2004 Mexico B 23.93729 229.3876
16 2000 USA B 40.63595 389.4085
17 2001 USA B 40.71575 390.1732
18 2002 USA B 39.34354 377.0235
19 2003 USA B 40.55953 388.6762
20 2004 USA B 45.32011 434.2961
It would be nice for this to be more scalable, but here's a simple solution. You can refer to A[Year == 2001] inside mutate, much as you might do table$A[table$Year == 2001] in base R. This lets you scale against your baseline of 2001 or whatever other year you might need.
Edit: I was missing a group_by to ensure that values are only being scaled against other values in their own group. The "sanity check" (that I clearly didn't do) is that values for Mexico in 2001 should have a scaled value of 1, and same for USA and any other countries.
library(tidyverse)
set.seed(42)
mexico <- tibble(Year=2000:2004, Country='Mexico', A=10:14+rnorm(5), B=20:24+rnorm(5))
usa <- tibble(Year=2000:2004, Country='USA', A=30:34+rnorm(5), B=40:44+rnorm(5))
table <- rbind(mexico, usa)
table %>%
group_by(Country) %>%
mutate(A_base2001 = A / A[Year == 2001], B_base2001 = B / B[Year == 2001])

Inspired by Camille's answer, I found one simple approach that that scales well:
table %>%
gather(variable, value, -Year, -Country) %>%
group_by(Country, variable) %>%
mutate(value=100*value/value[Year == 2001]) %>%
spread(variable, value)
# A tibble: 10 x 4
# Groups:   Country [2]
Year Country A B
<int> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 Mexico 109. 88.4
2 2000 USA 94.0 99.8
3 2001 Mexico 100. 100
4 2001 USA 100 100
5 2002 Mexico 118. 97.3
6 2002 USA 92.0 96.6
7 2003 Mexico 131. 111.
8 2003 USA 98.3 99.6
9 2004 Mexico 138. 106.
10 2004 USA 102. 111.
Preserving the the original values alongside the scaled ones takes more work. Here are two approaches. One of them uses an extra gather call to produce two variable-name columns (one indicating the series name, the other marking original or scaled), then unifying them into one column and reformatting.
table %>%
gather(variable, original, -Year, -Country) %>%
group_by(Country, variable) %>%
mutate(scaled=100*original/original[Year == 2001]) %>%
gather(scaled, value, -Year, -Country, -variable) %>%
unite(variable_scaled, variable, scaled, sep='_') %>%
mutate(variable_scaled=gsub("_original", "", variable_scaled)) %>%
spread(variable_scaled, value)
# A tibble: 10 x 6
# Groups:   Country [2]
Year Country A A_scaled B B_scaled
<int> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2000 Mexico 11.4 109. 19.9 88.4
2 2000 USA 31.3 94.0 40.6 99.8
3 2001 Mexico 10.4 100. 22.5 100
4 2001 USA 33.3 100 40.7 100
5 2002 Mexico 12.4 118. 21.9 97.3
6 2002 USA 30.6 92.0 39.3 96.6
7 2003 Mexico 13.6 131. 25.0 111.
8 2003 USA 32.7 98.3 40.6 99.6
9 2004 Mexico 14.4 138. 23.9 106.
10 2004 USA 33.9 102. 45.3 111.
A second equivalent approach creates a new table with the columns scaled "in place" and then merges it back into with the original one.
table %>%
gather(variable, value, -Year, -Country) %>%
group_by(Country, variable) %>%
mutate(value=100*value/value[Year == 2001]) %>%
ungroup() %>%
mutate(variable=paste(variable, 'scaled', sep='_')) %>%
spread(variable, value) %>%
inner_join(table)
Joining, by = c("Year", "Country")
# A tibble: 10 x 6
Year Country A_scaled B_scaled A B
<int> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
