Appending columns/variables from a data frame into a new variable - r

I've been searching for how to do this but cannot seem to find an example for my questions. I'm pretty new to R but am very familiar with SAS, so I wanted to ask how to do the equivalent of this SAS code in R.
I have one dataset (cohort), and two variables (last_pre_cv_prob, first_post_cv_prob), and I want to make a new dataset that has two variables, the first of which is the two previous variables set underneath each other (cv_prob), the second is a variable indicating which variable the data came from (time). So in SAS I would simply do this:
data post_cv;
set cohort(keep=last_pre_cv_prob rename=(last_pre_cv_prob=cv_prob) in=a)
cohort(keep=first_post_cv_prob rename=(first_post_cv_prob=cv_prob) in=b);
if b then time='post';
if a then time='pre';
run;
How would I do this in R?
Thanks!
edit:
post_cv2 %>% gather(column, prob, last_pre_cv_prob, first_post_cv_prob)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'last_pre_cv_prob' not found
Then I tried:
post_cv2 %>% gather(column, prob, liver_cv$last_pre_cv_prob,
liver_cv$first_post_cv_prob)
Error: All select() inputs must resolve to integer column positions.
The following do not:
* liver_cv$last_pre_cv_prob
* liver_cv$first_post_cv_prob
edit:
Second issue resolved, I had to add the little quote marks
post_cv2 <- post_cv %>%
gather(time, cv_prob, `liver_cv$last_pre_cv_prob`,
`liver_cv$first_post_cv_prob`)
edit:
Solved!
library(tidyverse)
library(stringr)
post_cv <- data_frame(pre = liver_cv$last_pre_cv_prob, post = liver_cv$first_post_cv_prob)
post_cv2 <- post_cv %>%
gather(time, cv_prob, pre, post)

You can simply gather the 2 columns and extract the time information:
library(tidyverse)
cohort <- data_frame(last_pre_cv_prob = runif(5),
first_post_cv_prob = runif(5))
cohort_2 <- cohort %>%
gather(time, cv_prob, last_pre_cv_prob, first_post_cv_prob) %>%
mutate(time = str_extract(time, "post|pre"))
cohort_2
#> # A tibble: 10 × 2
#> time cv_prob
#> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 pre 0.64527372
#> 2 pre 0.55086818
#> 3 pre 0.05882369
#> 4 pre 0.19626147
#> 5 pre 0.05933594

select for rows that don't have a string

I have a df of lot #'s with all of the data associated with them. Some of that data is experimental. Those lot #'s start with X. For example, X42A7299, where any normal lot would be 42A7299. I want to exclude those rows. The DF is called all_cls4. Here is the code I have tried:
all_cls4new<- all_cls4 %>% filter(!str_detect(Lot_#, ^X))
this returns a +
I also get this result with filter and !grep. What am I missing?
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
x <- tribble(
~lot, ~other_data,
"X42A7299", 45,
"42A7299", 100
)
x %>%
filter(!(str_detect(lot, '^X')))
#> # A tibble: 1 × 2
#> lot other_data
#> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 42A7299 100
Also, be careful with a symbol in your column name (e.g. Lot_#). I would rename it to a "clean" name (e.g. snakecase). janitor::clean_names() is useful for this. If you use it as is, you will have to wrap in backticks:
x %>%
filter(!(str_detect(`Lot_#`, '^X')))

Iteratively create global environment objects from tibble

I'm trying to make objects directly from information listed in a tibble that can be called on by later functions/tibbles in my environment. I can make the objects manually but I'm working to do this iteratively.
library(tidyverse)
##determine mean from 2x OD Negatives in experimental plates, then save summary for use in appending table
ELISA_negatives = "my_file.csv"
neg_tibble <- as_tibble(read_csv(ELISA_negatives, col_names = TRUE)) %>%
group_by(Species_ab, Antibody, Protein) %>%
filter(str_detect(Animal_ID, "2x.*")) %>%
summarize(ave_neg_U_mL = mean(U_mL, na.rm = TRUE), n=sum(!is.na(U_mL)))
neg_tibble
# A tibble: 4 x 5
# Groups: Species_ab, Antibody [2]
Species_ab Antibody Protein ave_neg_U_mL n
<chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <int>
1 Mouse IgG GP 28.2 6
2 Mouse IgG NP 45.9 6
3 Rat IgG GP 5.24 4
4 Rat IgG NP 1.41 1
I can write the object manually based off the above tibble:
Mouse_IgG_GP_cutoff <- as.numeric(neg_tibble[1,4])
Mouse_IgG_GP_cutoff
[1] 28.20336
In my attempt to do this iteratively, I can make a new tibble neg_tibble_string with the information I need. All I would need to do now is make a global object from the Name in the first column Test_Name, and assign it to the numeric value in the second column ave_neg_U_mL (which is where I'm getting stuck).
neg_tibble_string <- neg_tibble %>%
select(Species_ab:Protein) %>%
unite(col='Test_Name', c('Species_ab', 'Antibody', 'Protein'), sep = "_") %>%
mutate(Test_Name = str_c(Test_Name, "_cutoff")) %>%
bind_cols(neg_tibble[4])
neg_tibble_string
# A tibble: 4 x 2
Test_Name ave_neg_U_mL
<chr> <dbl>
1 Mouse_IgG_GP_cutoff 28.2
2 Mouse_IgG_NP_cutoff 45.9
3 Rat_IgG_GP_cutoff 5.24
4 Rat_IgG_NP_cutoff 1.41
I feel like there has to be a way to do this to get this from the above tibble neg_tibble_string, and make this for all four of the rows. I've tried a variant of this and this, but can't get anywhere.
> list_df <- mget(ls(pattern = "neg_tibble_string"))
> list_output <- map(list_df, ~neg_tibble_string$ave_neg_U_mL)
Warning message:
Unknown or uninitialised column: `ave_neg_U_mL`.
> list_output
$neg_tibble_string
NULL
As always, any insight is appreciated! I'm making progress on my R journey but I know I am missing large gaps in knowledge.
As we already returned the object value in a list, we need only to specify the lambda function i.e. .x returns the value of the list element which is a tibble and extract the column
library(purrr)
list_output <- map(list_df, ~.x$ave_neg_U_ml)
If the intention is to create global objects, deframe, convert to a list and then use list2env
library(tibble)
list2env(as.list(deframe(neg_tibble_string)), .GlobalEnv)

wrap tidymodels recipe into function

Is it possible to wrap a tidymodel recipe into a function? I've tried the following:
# Data setup
library(tidyverse)
library(tidymodels)
parks <- readr::read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2021/2021-06-22/parks.csv')
modeling_df <- parks %>%
select(pct_near_park_data, spend_per_resident_data, med_park_size_data) %>%
rename(nearness = "pct_near_park_data",
spending = "spend_per_resident_data",
acres = "med_park_size_data") %>%
mutate(nearness = (parse_number(nearness)/100)) %>%
mutate(spending = parse_number(spending))
# Start building models
set.seed(123)
park_split <- initial_split(modeling_df)
park_train <- training(park_split)
park_test <- testing(park_split)
Works well without function:
tree_rec <- recipe(nearness ~., data = park_train)
Problem: wrap recipe into function:
custom_rec <- function(dat, var){
tree_rec <- recipe(nearness ~ {{var}}, data = dat)
}
custom_rec(park_train, speeding)
Error:
Error during wrapup: No in-line functions should be used here; use steps to define baking actions.
Error: no more error handlers available (recursive errors?); invoking 'abort' restart
The R formula is an extremely useful but weird, weird thing so I don't recommend trying to mess around with it in a situation like you have here.
Instead, try using the update_role() interface for recipes:
library(tidymodels)
library(modeldata)
data(biomass)
# split data
biomass_tr <- biomass[biomass$dataset == "Training",]
my_rec <- function(dat, preds) {
recipe(dat) %>%
update_role({{preds}}, new_role = "predictor") %>%
update_role(HHV, new_role = "outcome") %>%
update_role(sample, new_role = "id variable") %>%
update_role(dataset, new_role = "splitting indicator")
}
my_rec(biomass_tr, carbon) %>% prep() %>% summary()
#> # A tibble: 8 × 4
#> variable type role source
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
#> 1 sample nominal id variable original
#> 2 dataset nominal splitting indicator original
#> 3 carbon numeric predictor original
#> 4 hydrogen numeric <NA> original
#> 5 oxygen numeric <NA> original
#> 6 nitrogen numeric <NA> original
#> 7 sulfur numeric <NA> original
#> 8 HHV numeric outcome original
my_rec(biomass_tr, c(carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen)) %>% prep() %>% summary()
#> # A tibble: 8 × 4
#> variable type role source
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
#> 1 sample nominal id variable original
#> 2 dataset nominal splitting indicator original
#> 3 carbon numeric predictor original

#> 6 nitrogen numeric predictor original
#> 7 sulfur numeric <NA> original
#> 8 HHV numeric outcome original

If you are set on the formula interface, maybe try using rlang::new_formula().

Using dynamic names with dplyr

I have a data frame in which I would I would like to compute some extra column as a function of the existing columns, but want to specify both each new column name and the function dynamically. I have a vector of column names that are already in the dataframe df_daily:
DAILY_QUESTIONS <- c("Q1_Daily", "Q2_Daily", "Q3_Daily", "Q4_Daily", "Q5_Daily")
The rows of the dataframe have responses to each question from each user each time they answer the questionnaire, as well as a column with the number of days since the user first answered the questionnaire (i.e. Days_From_First_Use = 0 on the very first use, = 1 if it is used the next day etc.). I want to average the responses to these questions by Days_From_First_Use . I start by by grouping my dataframe by Days_From_First_Use:
df_test <- df_daily %>%
group_by(Days_From_First_Use)
and then try averaging the responses in a loop as follows:
for(i in 1:5){
df_test <- df_test %>%
mutate(!! paste0('Avg_Score_', DAILY_QUESTIONS[i]) :=
paste0('mean(', DAILY_QUESTIONS[i], ')'))
}
Unfortunately, while my new variable names are correct ("Avg_Score_Q1_Daily", "Avg_Score_Q2_Daily", "Avg_Score_Q3_Daily", "Avg_Score_Q4_Daily", "Avg_Score_Q5_Daily"), my answers are not: every row in my data frame has a string such as "mean(Q1_Daily)" in the relevant column .
So I'm clearly doing something wrong - what do I need to do fix this and get the average score across all users on each day?
Sincerely and with many thanks in advance
Thomas Philips
I took a somewhat different approach, using summarize(across(...)) after group_by(Days_From_First_Use) I achieve the dynamic names by using rename_with and a custom function that replaces (starts with)"Q" with "Avg_Score_Q"
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
# fake data -- 30 normalized "responses" from 0 to 2 days from first use to 5 questions
DAILY_QUESTIONS <- c("Q1_Daily", "Q2_Daily", "Q3_Daily", "Q4_Daily", "Q5_Daily")
df_daily <- as.data.frame(do.call('cbind', lapply(1:5, function(i) rnorm(30, i))))
colnames(df_daily) <- DAILY_QUESTIONS
df_daily$Days_From_First_Use <- floor(runif(30, 0, 3))
df_test <- df_daily %>%
group_by(Days_From_First_Use) %>%
summarize(across(.fns = mean)) %>%
rename_with(.fn = function(x) gsub("^Q","Avg_Score_Q",x))
#> `summarise()` ungrouping output (override with `.groups` argument)
df_test
#> # A tibble: 3 x 6
#> Days_From_First… Avg_Score_Q1_Da… Avg_Score_Q2_Da… Avg_Score_Q3_Da…
#> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 0 1.26 1.75 3.02
#> 2 1 0.966 2.14 3.48
#> 3 2 1.08 2.45 3.01
#> # … with 2 more variables: Avg_Score_Q4_Daily <dbl>, Avg_Score_Q5_Daily <dbl>

Programmatically create new variables using purrr?

Intro
After recently taking Hadley Wickham's functional programming class I decided I'd try applying some of the lessons to my projects at work. Naturally, the first project I tried has proven to be more complicated than the examples worked demonstrated in the class. Does anyone have recommendations for a way to use the purrr package to make the task described below more efficient?
Project Background
I need to assign quintile groups to records in a spatial polygon dataframe. In addition to the record identifier there are several other variables and I need to calculate the quintile group for each.
Here's the crux of the problem: I have been asked to identify outliers in one particular variable and to omit those records from the entire analysis as long as it doesn't change the quintile composition of the first quintile group for any of the other variables.
Question
I have put together a dplyr pipeline (see the example below) that performs this checking process for a single variable, but how might I rewrite this process so that I can efficiently check each variable?
EDIT: While it is certainly possible to change the shape of the data from wide to long as an intermediary step, in the end it needs to return to its wide format so that it matches up with the #polygons slot of the spatial polygons dataframe.

Calculate quintile groups with and without outlier records
# Calculate the quintile groups for one variable (e.g., `pop1990`)
m_all <-
m %>%
mutate(qnt_1990_all = dplyr::ntile(pop1990,5))
# Find the outliers for a different variable (e.g., 'pop1950')
# and subset the df to exlcude these outlier records
m_out <- boxplot.stats(m$pop1950) %>% .[["out"]]
m_trim <-
m %>%
filter(pop1950 %!in% m_out) %>%
mutate(qnt_1990_trim = dplyr::ntile(pop1990,5))
# Assess whether the outlier trimming impacted the first quintile group
m_comp <-
m_trim %>%
select(name,dplyr::contains("qnt")) %>%
left_join(m_all,.,"name") %>%
select(name,dplyr::contains("qnt"),everything()) %>%
mutate(qnt_1990_chng_lgl = !is.na(qnt_1990_trim) & qnt_1990_trim != qnt_1990_all,
qnt_1990_chng_dir = if_else(qnt_1990_chng_lgl,
paste0(qnt_1990_all," to ",qnt_1990_trim),
"No change"))
With a little help from ggplot2, I can see that in this example six outliers were identified and that their omission did not affect the first quintile group for pop1990.
Importantly, this information is tracked in two new variables: qnt_1990_chng_lgl and qnt_1990_chng_dir.
> m_comp %>% select(name,qnt_1990_chng_lgl,qnt_1990_chng_dir,everything())
# A tibble: 50 x 14
name qnt_1990_chng_lgl qnt_1990_chng_dir qnt_1990_all qnt_1990_trim
<chr> <lgl> <chr> <dbl> <dbl>
1 Sydney FALSE No change 5 NA
2 Havana TRUE 4 to 5 4 5
3 Campinas TRUE 3 to 4 3 4
4 Kano FALSE No change 4 4
5 Omsk FALSE No change 3 3
6 Ouagadougou FALSE No change 1 1
7 Marseille FALSE No change 3 3
8 Taiyuan TRUE 3 to 4 3 4
9 La Paz FALSE No change 2 2
10 Baltimore FALSE No change 4 4
# ... with 40 more rows, and 9 more variables: pop1950 <dbl>, pop1960 <dbl>,
# pop1970 <dbl>, pop1980 <dbl>, pop1990 <dbl>, pop2000 <dbl>, pop2010 <dbl>,
# pop2020 <dbl>, pop2030 <dbl>
I now need to find a way to repeat this process for every variable in the dataframe (i.e., pop1960 - pop2030). Ideally, two new variables would be created for each existing pop* variable and their names would be preceded by qnt_ and followed by either _chng_dir or _chng_lgl.
Is purrr the right tool to use for this? dplyr::mutate_? data.table?
It turns out this problem is solvable using tidyr::gather + dplyr::group_by + tidyr::spread functions. While #shayaa and #Gregor didn't provide the solution I was looking for, their advice helped me course-correct away from the functional programming methods I was researching.
I ended up using #shayaa's gather and group_by combination, followed by mutate to create the variable names (qnt_*_chng_lgl and qnt_*_chng_dir) and then using spread to make it wide again. An anonymous function passed to summarize_all removed all the extra NA's that the wide-long-wide transformations created.
m_comp <-
m %>%
mutate(qnt = dplyr::ntile(pop1950,5)) %>%
filter(pop1950 %!in% m_out) %>%
gather(year,pop,-name,-qnt) %>%
group_by(year) %>%
mutate(qntTrim = dplyr::ntile(pop,5),
qnt_chng_lgl = !is.na(qnt) & qnt != qntTrim,
qnt_chng_dir = ifelse(qnt_chng_lgl,
paste0(qnt," to ",qntTrim),
"No change"),
year_lgl = paste0("qnt_chng_",year,"_lgl"),
year_dir = paste0("qnt_chng_",year,"_dir")) %>%
spread(year_lgl,qnt_chng_lgl) %>%
spread(year_dir,qnt_chng_dir) %>%
spread(year,pop) %>%
select(-qnt,-qntTrim) %>%
group_by(name) %>%
summarize_all(function(.){subset(.,!is.na(.)) %>% first})
Nothing wrong with your analysis it seems to me,
After this part
m <- metro#data %>%
as_tibble %>%
select(-name_long,-iso_a3) %>%
sample_n(50)
Just melt your data and continue your analysis but with group_by(year)
library(reshape2)
library(stringr)
mm <- melt(m)
mm[,2] <- as.factor(str_sub(mm[,2],-4))
names(mm)[2:3] <- c("year", "population")
e.g.,
mm %>% group_by(year) %>%
+ mutate(qnt_all = dplyr::ntile(population,5))
