I have a long data list similar to the following one:
set.seed(9)
part_number<-sample(1:5,5,replace=TRUE)
Type<-sample( c("A","B","C"),5, replace=TRUE)
rank<-sample(1:20,5,replace=TRUE)
data<-data.frame(cbind(part_number,Type,rank))
data
part_number Type rank
1 2 A 3
2 1 B 1
3 2 B 18
4 2 C 7
5 3 C 10
I want to rearrange the data in the following way:
part_number A B C
1 1
2 3 18 7
3 10
I think I need to use the reshape library. But I am not sure.
libary(tidyr)
data %>% spread(Type,rank)
# part_number A B C
# 1 1 <NA> 1 <NA>
# 2 2 3 18 7
# 3 3 <NA> <NA> 10
You would go about doing the following:
data <- reshape(data, idvar = "part_number", timevar = "Type", direction = "wide")
data
To format it exactly as you asked, I would add in,
library(tidyverse)
data %>%
arrange(part_number) %>%
dplyr::select(part_number, A = rank.A, B = rank.B, C = rank.C)
If you however had a lot more columns to rename, I would use the gsub function to rename by pattern. In addition, since now the row names are messy,
rownames(data) <- c()
Let me know if this doesn't work or this wasn't what you had in mind.

I have a dataframe in R that I'd like to repeat several times, and I want to add in a new variable to index those repetitions. The best I've come up with is using mutate + rbind over and over, and I feel like there has to be an efficient dataframe method I could be using here.
Here's an example: df <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y = letters[1:3]) gives us the dataframe
x
y
1
a
2
b
3
c
I'd like to repeat that say 3 times, with an index that looks like this:
x
y
index
1
a
1
2
b
1
3
c
1
1
a
2
2
b
2
3
c
2
1
a
3
2
b
3
3
c
3
Using the rep function, I can get the first two columns, but not the index column. The best I've come up with so far (using dplyr) is:
df2 <-
df %>%
mutate(index = 1) %>%
rbind(df %>% mutate(index = 2)) %>%
rbind(df %>% mutate(index = 3))
This obviously doesn't work if I need to repeat my dataframe more than a handful of times. It feels like the kind of thing that should be easy to do using dataframe methods, but I haven't been able to find anything.
Grateful for any tips!
You can use this code for as many data frames as you would like. You just have to set the n argument:
replicate function takes 2 main arguments. We first specify the number of time we would like to reproduce our data set by n. Then we specify our data set as expr argument. The result would be a list whose elements are instances of our data set
After that we pass it along to imap function from purrr package to define the unique id for each of our data set. .x represents each element of our list (here a data frame) and .y is the position of that element which amounts to the number of instances we created. So for example we assign value 1 to the first id column of the first data set as .y is equal to 1 for that and so on.
library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
replicate(3, df, simplify = FALSE) %>%
imap_dfr(~ .x %>%
mutate(id = .y))
x y id
1 1 a 1
2 2 b 1
3 3 c 1
4 1 a 2
5 2 b 2
6 3 c 2
7 1 a 3
8 2 b 3
9 3 c 3
In base R you can use the following code:
do.call(rbind,
mapply(function(x, z) {
x$id <- z
x
}, replicate(3, df, simplify = FALSE), 1:3, SIMPLIFY = FALSE))
x y id
1 1 a 1
2 2 b 1
3 3 c 1
4 1 a 2
5 2 b 2
6 3 c 2
7 1 a 3
8 2 b 3
9 3 c 3
You can use rerun to repeat the dataframe n times and add an index column using bind_rows -
library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
n <- 3
df <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y = letters[1:3])
bind_rows(rerun(n, df), .id = 'index')
# index x y
#1 1 1 a
#2 1 2 b
#3 1 3 c
#4 2 1 a
#5 2 2 b
#6 2 3 c
#7 3 1 a
#8 3 2 b
#9 3 3 c
In base R, we can repeat the row index 3 times.
transform(df[rep(1:nrow(df), n), ], index = rep(1:n, each = nrow(df)))
One more way
n <- 3
map_dfr(seq_len(n), ~ df %>% mutate(index = .x))
x y index
1 1 a 1
2 2 b 1
3 3 c 1
4 1 a 2
5 2 b 2
6 3 c 2
7 1 a 3
8 2 b 3
9 3 c 3
I am working in R with a dataset that is created from mongodb with the use of mongolite.
I am getting a list that looks like so:
_id A B A B A B NA NA
1 a 1 b 2 e 5 NA NA
2 k 4 l 3 c 3 d 4
I would like to merge the datasetto look like this:
_id A B
1 a 1
2 k 4
1 b 2
2 l 3
1 e 5
2 c 3
1 NA NA
2 d 4
The NAs in the last columns are there because the columns are named from the first entry and if a later entry has more columns than that they don't get names assigned to them, (if I get help for this as well it would be awesome but it's not the reason I am here).
Also the number of columns might differ for different subsets of the dataset.
I have tried melt() but since it is a list and not a dataframe it doesn't work as expected, I have tried stack() but it dodn't work because the columns have the same name and some of them don't even have a name.
I know this is a very weird situation and appreciate any help.
Thank you.
using library(magrittr)
data:
df <- fread("
_id A B A B A B NA NA
1 a 1 b 2 e 5 NA NA
2 k 4 l 3 c 3 d 4 ",header=T)
setDF(df)
Code:
df2 <- df[,-1]
odds<- df2 %>% ncol %>% {(1:.)%%2} %>% as.logical
even<- df2 %>% ncol %>% {!(1:.)%%2}
cbind(df[,1,drop=F],
A=unlist(df2[,odds]),
B=unlist(df2[,even]),
row.names=NULL)
result:
# _id A B
# 1 1 a 1
# 2 2 k 4
# 3 1 b 2
# 4 2 l 3
# 5 1 e 5
# 6 2 c 3
# 7 1 <NA> NA
# 8 2 d 4
We can use data.table. Assuming A and B are always following each other. I created an example with 2 sets of NA's in the header. With grep we can find the ones fread has named V8 etc. Using R's recycling of vectors, you can rename multiple headers in one go. If in your case these are named differently change the pattern in the grep command. Then we melt the data in via melt
library(data.table)
df <- fread("
_id A B A B A B NA NA NA NA
1 a 1 b 2 e 5 NA NA NA NA
2 k 4 l 3 c 3 d 4 e 5",
header = TRUE)
df
_id A B A B A B A B A B
1: 1 a 1 b 2 e 5 <NA> NA <NA> NA
2: 2 k 4 l 3 c 3 d 4 e 5
# assuming A B are always following each other. Can be done in 1 statement.
cols <- names(df)
cols[grep(pattern = "^V", x = cols)] <- c("A", "B")
names(df) <- cols
# melt data (if df is a data.frame replace df with setDT(df)
df_melted <- melt(df, id.vars = 1,
measure.vars = patterns(c('A', 'B')),
value.name=c('A', 'B'))
df_melted
_id variable A B
1: 1 1 a 1
2: 2 1 k 4
3: 1 2 b 2
4: 2 2 l 3
5: 1 3 e 5
6: 2 3 c 3
7: 1 4 <NA> NA
8: 2 4 d 4
9: 1 5 <NA> NA
10: 2 5 e 5
Thank you for your help, they were great inspirations.
Even though #Andre Elrico gave a solution that worked in the reproducible example better #phiver gave a solution that worked better on my overall problem.
By using both those I came up with the following.
library(data.table)
#The data were in a list of lists called list for this example
temp <- as.data.table(matrix(t(sapply(list, '[', seq(max(sapply(list, lenth))))),
nrow = m))
# m here is the number of lists in list
cols <- names(temp)
cols[grep(pattern = "^V", x = cols)] <- c("B", "A")
#They need to be the opposite way because the first column is going to be substituted with id, and this way they fall on the correct column after that
cols[1] <- "id"
names(temp) <- cols
l <- melt.data.table(temp, id.vars = 1,
measure.vars = patterns(c("A", "B")),
value.name = c("A", "B"))
That way I can use this also if I have more than 2 columns that I need to manipulate like that.
I'm trying to merge informations in two different data frames, but problem begins with uneven dimensions and trying to use not the column index but the information in the column. merge function in R or join's (dplyr) don't work with my data.
I have to dataframes (One is subset of the others with updated info in the last column):
df1=data.frame(Name = print(LETTERS[1:9]), val = seq(1:3), Case = c("NA","1","NA","NA","1","NA","1","NA","NA"))
Name val Case
1 A 1 NA
2 B 2 1
3 C 3 NA
4 D 1 NA
5 E 2 1
6 F 3 NA
7 G 1 1
8 H 2 NA
9 I 3 NA
Some rows in the Case column in df1 have to be changed with the info in the df2 below:
df2 = data.frame(Name = c("A","D","H"), val = seq(1:3), Case = "1")
Name val Case
1 A 1 1
2 D 2 1
3 H 3 1
So there's nothing important in the val column, however I added it into the examples since I want to indicate that I have more columns than two and also my real data is way bigger than the examples.
Basically, I want to change specific rows by checking the information in the first columns (in this case, they're unique letters) and in the end I still want to have df1 as a final data frame.
for a better explanation, I want to see something like this:
Name val Case
1 A 1 1
2 B 2 1
3 C 3 NA
4 D 1 1
5 E 2 1
6 F 3 NA
7 G 1 1
8 H 2 1
9 I 3 NA
Note changed information for A,D and H.
Thanks.
%in% from base-r is there to rescue.
df1=data.frame(Name = print(LETTERS[1:9]), val = seq(1:3), Case = c("NA","1","NA","NA","1","NA","1","NA","NA"), stringsAsFactors = F)
df2 = data.frame(Name = c("A","D","H"), val = seq(1:3), Case = "1", stringsAsFactors = F)
df1$Case <- ifelse(df1$Name %in% df2$Name, df2$Case[df2$Name %in% df1$Name], df1$Case)
df1
Output:
> df1
Name val Case
1 A 1 1
2 B 2 1
3 C 3 NA
4 D 1 1
5 E 2 1
6 F 3 NA
7 G 1 1
8 H 2 1
9 I 3 NA
Here is what I would do using dplyr:
df1 %>%
left_join(df2, by = c("Name")) %>%
mutate(val = if_else(is.na(val.y), val.x, val.y),
Case = if_else(is.na(Case.y), Case.x, Case.y)) %>%
select(Name, val, Case)
I have some data in long form that looks like this:
dat1 = data.frame(
id = rep(LETTERS[1:2], each=4),
value = 1:8
)
In table form:
id value
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
B 5
B 6
B 7
B 8
And I want it to be in short form and look like this:
dat1 = data.frame(A = 1:4, B = 5:8)
In table form:
A B
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8
Now I could solve this by looping with cbind() and stuff, but I want to use some kind of reshape/melt function as these are the best way to do this kind of thing I think.
However, from spending >30 minutes trying to get melt() and reshape() to work, reading answers on SO, it seems that these functions requires the id.var to be set. Now, it is plainly redundant for this kind of thing, so how do I do what I want to do without having to resort to some kind of looping?
I'm pretty sure this has been answered before. Anyway, unstack is convenient in this particular case with equal group size:
unstack(dat1, form = value ~ id)
# A B
# 1 1 5
# 2 2 6
# 3 3 7
# 4 4 8
Solution below works when there are different numbers of As and Bs. For equal counts, unstack works great and with less code (Henrik's answer).
# create more general data (unbalanced 'id')
each <- c(4,2,3)
dat1 = data.frame(
id = unlist(mapply(rep, x = LETTERS[1:length(each)], each = each)),
value = 1:sum(each),
row.names = 1:sum(each) # to reproduce original row.names
)
tab <- table(dat1$id)
dat1$timevar <- unlist(sapply(tab, seq))
library(reshape2)
dcast(dat1, timevar ~ id )[-1]
initial data:
id value
1 A 1
2 A 2
3 A 3
4 A 4
5 B 5
6 B 6
7 C 7
8 C 8
9 C 9
result:
A B C
1 1 5 7
2 2 6 8
3 3 NA 9
4 4 NA NA
Here's a base R approach to consider. It uses the lengths function, which I believe was introduced in R 3.2.
x <- split(dat1$value, dat1$id)
as.data.frame(lapply(x, function(y) `length<-`(y, max(lengths(x)))))
# A B C
# 1 1 5 7
# 2 2 6 8
# 3 3 NA 9
# 4 4 NA NA
I just have a simple question, I really appreciate everyones input, you have been a great help to my project. I have an additional question about data frames in R.
I have data frame that looks similar to something like this:
C <- c("","","","","","","","A","B","D","A","B","D","A","B","D")
D <- c(NA,NA,NA,2,NA,NA,1,1,4,2,2,5,2,1,4,2)
G <- list(C=C,D=D)
T <- as.data.frame(G)
T
C D
1 NA
2 NA
3 NA
4 2
5 NA
6 NA
7 1
8 A 1
9 B 4
10 D 2
11 A 2
12 B 5
13 D 2
14 A 1
15 B 4
16 D 2
I would like to be able to condense all the repeat characters into one, and look similar to this:
J B C E
1 2 1
2 A 1 2 1
3 B 4 5 4
4 D 2 2 2
So of course, the data is all the same, it is just that it is condensed and new columns are formed to hold the data. I am sure there is an easy way to do it, but from the books I have looked through, I haven't seen anything for this!
EDIT I edited the example because it wasn't working with the answers so far. I wonder if the NA's, blanks, and unevenness from the blanks are contributing??
here´s a reshape solution:
require(reshape)
cast(T, C ~ ., function(x) x)
Changed T to df to avoid a bad habit. Returns a list, which my not be what you want but you can convert from there.
C <- c("A","B","D","A","B","D","A","B","D")
D <- c(1,4,2,2,5,2,1,4,2)
my.df <- data.frame(id=C,val=D)
ret <- function(x) x
by.df <- by(my.df$val,INDICES=my.df$id,ret)
This seems to get the results you are looking for. I'm assuming it's OK to remove the NA values since that matches the desired output you show.
T <- na.omit(T)
T$ind <- ave(1:nrow(T), T$C, FUN = seq_along)
reshape(T, direction = "wide", idvar = "C", timevar = "ind")
# C D.1 D.2 D.3
# 4 2 1 NA
# 8 A 1 2 1
# 9 B 4 5 4
# 10 D 2 2 2
library(reshape2)
dcast(T, C ~ ind, value.var = "D", fill = "")
# C 1 2 3
# 1 2 1
# 2 A 1 2 1
# 3 B 4 5 4
# 4 D 2 2 2
