Say, I have a dataframe df in R as follows,
id inflam
1 1 0.03093764
2 2 0.50115406
3 3 0.82153770
4 4 0.01985961
5 5 0.04994588
6 6 0.91714810
7 7 0.83438400
8 8 0.80832225
9 9 0.12360681
10 10 0.08490079
I can access the entirety of the inflam column by indexing as df[,2] or df[2]. However, typeof(df[,2]) returns double, whereas typeof(df[2]) returns list. The comma seems to be the differentiator, but why is this the case? What is going on under the hood?
I need some help conditionally sorting/switching data based on a factor variable.
I'm not sure if it's a typical use case I just can't formulate properly enough for a search engine to show me a solution or if it is that niche but I haven't found anything yet.
I currently have a dataframe like this:
id group a1 a2 a3 a4 b1 b2 b3 b4
1 1 2 6 6 3 4 4 6 4
2 2 5 2 2 2 2 5 2 3
3 1 6 3 3 1 3 6 4 1
4 1 4 8 4 2 7 8 8 9
5 2 3 1 1 4 2 1 1 7
For context this is from a psychological experiment where people went through two variations of a task and the order of those conditions was determined by the experimental group they were assigned to. The columns represent different measurements from different trials and are currently grouped together for the same variable and in chronological order, meaning a1,a2,a3,a4 are essentially the same variable at consecutive time points, same with b1,b2,b3,b4.
I want to split them up for the different conditions so regardless of which group (=which order of tasks) someone went through, data from one condition should come first in the dataframe and columns should still be grouped together for the same variables and in chronological order within that condition. It should essentially look like this:
id group c1a1 c1a2 c2a1 c2a2 c1b1 c1b2 c2b1 c2b2
1 1 2 6 6 3 4 4 6 4
2 2 2 2 5 2 2 3 2 5
3 1 6 3 3 1 3 6 4 1
4 1 4 8 4 2 7 8 8 9
5 2 1 4 3 1 1 7 2 1
So essentially for group 1 everything stays the same since they happened to go through the conditions in the same order that I want to have in the new dataframe while for group 2 values are being switched where the originally second half of values for each variable is put in front of the originally first one.
I hope I formulated the problem in a way, people can understand it.
My real dataset is a bit more complicated it has 180 columns minus id and group so 178.
I have 13 variables some of which were measured over two conditions with 5 trials for each of those and some which have those 5 trials for each of the 2 main condition but which also have 2 adittional measurements for each condition where the order was determined by the same group variable.
(We essentially asked participants to do the task again in two certain ways, which allowed us to see if they were capable of doing them like that if they wanted to under the circumstences of both main conditions).
So there are an adittional 4 columns for some variables which need to be treated seperately. It should look like this when transformed (x and y are the 2 extra tasks where only b was measured once):
id group c1a1 c1a2 c2a1 c2a2 c1b1 c1b2 c1bx c1by c2b1 c2b2 c2bx c2by
1 1 2 6 6 3 4 4 3 7 6 4 4 2
2 2 2 2 5 2 2 3 4 3 2 5 2 2
3 1 6 3 3 1 3 6 2 2 4 1 1 1
4 1 4 8 4 2 7 8 1 1 8 9 5 8
5 2 1 4 3 1 1 7 8 9 2 1 3 4
What I want to say with this is, I need a pretty general solution.
I already tried formulating a function for creation of two seperate datasets for the groups and then merging them by id but got stuck with the automatic creation and naming of columns which I can't seem to wrap my head around. dplyr is currently loaded and used for some other transformations but since I'm not really good with it, I need to ask for your help regarding a solution with or without it. I'm still pretty new to R and this is for my bachelor thesis.
Thanks in advance!
Your question leaves a few things unclear that make this hard to answer, but here is maybe a start that could help, or at least help clarify your problem.
It would really help if you could clarify 2 pieces of info, what types of column rearrangements you need, and how you distinguish what indicates that a row needs to have this transformation.
I'm also wondering if instead of trying to manipulate your data in its current shape, if it not might be more practical to figure out how to change the shape of your data to better represent your data, perhaps using something like pivot_longer(), I don't know how this data will ultimately be used or what the actual values indicate, but it doesn't seem to be very tidy in its current form, and instead having a "longer" table might be more meaningful, but I'll still provide what I think is a solution to your listed problem.
This creates some example data that looks like it reflects yours in the example table.
ID=seq(1:10)
group=sample(1:2,10,replace=T)
Data=matrix(sample(1:10,80,replace=T),nrow=10,ncol=8)
DataFrame=data.frame('ID'=ID,'Group'=group,Data)
You then define the groups of columns that need to be kept together. I can't tell if there is an automated way for you to indicate which columns are grouped, but this might get bulky if done manually. Some more information on what your column names actually are, and how they are distributed in groups would help.
ColumnGroups=list('One'=c('X1','X2'),'Two'=c('X3','X4'),'Three'=c('X5','X6'),'Four'=c('X7','X8'))
You can then figure out which rows need to have rearranged done by using some conditional. Based on your example, I'm assuming when the group variable equals 2, then the rearranging needs to be done, which is what I've used here.
FlipRows=DataFrame$Group==2
You can then have R only apply the rearrangement needed to those rows that need it, and define the rearrangement based on the ordering of the different column groups. I know you ask for a general solution, but is hard to identify the general solution you need without knowing what types of column rearrangements you need. If it is always flipping two sets of consecutive column groups, that would be easier to define without having to type it all out. What I have done here would require you to manually type out the order of the different column groups that you would like the rows to be rearranged as. The SortedDataFrame object seems to be what you are looking for, but might not actually reflect your real data. I removed columns 1 and 2 in this operation since those are ID and group which you don't want overridden.
SortedDataFrame=DataFrame
SortedDataFrame[FlipRows,-c(1,2)]=DataFrame[FlipRows,c(ColumnGroups$Two,ColumnGroups$One,ColumnGroups$Four,ColumnGroups$Three)]
This solution won't work if you need to rearrange each row differently, but it is unclear if that is the case. Try to provide any of the other info requested here, and let me know where this solution doesn't work for you, and that.
Probably a similar situation has already been solved but I could not find it.
I have a mapper data frame like the following
mapper
bucket_label bucket_no
1 (-Inf; 9.99) 1
2 (25.01; 29.99) 1
3 (29.99; 30.01) 1
4 (30.01; Inf) 1
5 (19.99; 20.01) 2
6 (20.01; 24.99) 2
7 (24.99; 25.01) 2
8 (9.99; 10.11) 3
9 (10.11; 14.99) 3
10 (14.99; 15.01) 3
11 (15.01; 19.99) 3
and a vector x with random data
x <- rnorm(100)*100
I need to set the corresponding bucket for each entry of this in a quick way and findInterval and cut seem not to help for this issue.
I realize this is a topic that's covered somewhat well but I couldn't find anything that approaches this specific concern:
I have a df with 800 columns, 10 iterations of 80 columns (each column represents an item) - Each column is named something like: 1_BL_PRE.1 1_FU_PRE.1 1_BL_PRE.1 1_BL_POST.1
Where the first '1' indicates the item number and the second '1' indicates the iteration number.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the sums of specific groups of items from all 10 iterations.
As a short example let's say I want to take the 1st and 3rd item of BL_PRE and get the sum of all 10 iterations for those 2 items - how would I do this?
subject 1_BL_PRE.1 2_BL_PRE.1 3_BL_PRE.1 1_BL_PRE.2 2_BL_PRE.2
1 40002 3 4 3 1 2
2 40004 1 2 3 4 4
3 40006 4 3 3 3 1
4 40008 2 3 1 2 3
5 40009 3 4 1 2 3
Expected output (where A represents the sum of 1_BL_PRE.1, 3_BL_PRE.1, 1_BL_PRE.2 and so on):
subject BL_PRE_A
1 40002 12
2 40004 14
3 40006 15
4 40008 20
5 40009 12
My hunch is the solution is related to a for-loop or lappy (and I'm not familiar at all with either). I'm trying to work with apply(finaldata,1,function(x) {sum(x ...)}) but I haven't been able to figure out the conditional statement for the function of sum.
If there's an implementation with plyr I'd be really curious to see what that looks like. (and if there's a thread that answers this, apologies and just re-direct!)
**Edited to include small example + code I'm trying to get to work
Thanks!
and thanks in advance for your help. I am very new to R and am having some trouble with code that, to me looks like it should work, but isn't. I have a data frame like the one below:
studentID classNumber classRating
7 1 4
7 2 4
7 4 3
79 1 5
79 2 3
116 1 5
116 2 4
134 1 5
134 3 5
134 4 5
And I want it to read like this:
Student ID class1 class2 class3 class4
7 4 4 NA 3
79 5 3 NA NA
116 5 4 NA NA
134 5 NA 5 5
I've tried to piece together different things that I've come across and it seemed like the best approach was to create a new data frame and matrix and then populate it from the current data frame. I came up with the broken code below:
classRatings = data.frame(matrix(NA,4,5))
for(i in 1:nrow(classDB)){
#Find ratings by each student
rowsToReplace = classDB$studentID==classRatings$studentID[i]
#Make a row for each unique studentID in classRatings
classDB$studentID[rowsToReplace] = classRatings$studentID[i]
#for each studentID, find put the given rating for each unique class into
#it's own vector
for(j in classDB$classNumber){
if(classDB$classNumber==1){classRatings$class1==classDB$classRating}[j]
if(classDB$classNumber==2){classRatings$class2==classDB$classRating}[j]
if(classDB$classNumber==3){classRatings$class3==classDB$classRating}[j]
if(classDB$classNumber==4){classRatings$class4==classDB$classRating}[j]
if(classDB$classNumber==5){classRatings$class5==classDB$classRating}[j]
}
}
I'm getting an error that says:
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
and I am beyond my skill level to figure it out. Any help is appreciated.
The tidyr package can spread this long table into a wider one:
library(tidyr)
spread(classDB,classNumber,classRating,fill=NA)
