Adding NA's where data is missing [duplicate] - r

Insert missing time rows into a dataframe
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a dataset that look like the following
id = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4)
cycle = c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,3,2)
value = 1:9
data.frame(id,cycle,value)
> data.frame(id,cycle,value)
id cycle value
1 1 1 1
2 1 2 2
3 1 3 3
4 2 1 4
5 2 2 5
6 2 3 6
7 3 1 7
8 3 3 8
9 4 2 9
so basically there is a variable called id that identifies the sample, a variable called cycle which identifies the timepoint, and a variable called value that identifies the value at that timepoint.
As you see, sample 3 does not have cycle 2 data and sample 4 is missing cycle 1 and 3 data. What I want to know is there a way to run a command outside of a loop to get the data to place NA's where there is no data. So I would like for my dataset to look like the following:
> data.frame(id,cycle,value)
id cycle value
1 1 1 1
2 1 2 2
3 1 3 3
4 2 1 4
5 2 2 5
6 2 3 6
7 3 1 7
8 3 2 NA
9 3 3 8
10 4 1 NA
11 4 2 9
12 4 3 NA
I am able to solve this problem with a lot of loops and if statements but the code is extremely long and cumbersome (I have many more columns in my real dataset).
Also, the number of samples I have is very large so I need something that is generalizable.

Using merge and expand.grid, we can come up with a solution. expand.grid creates a data.frame with all combinations of the supplied vectors (so you'd supply it with the id and cycle variables). By merging to your original data (and using all.x = T, which is like a left join in SQL), we can fill in those rows with missing data in dat with NA.
id = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4)
cycle = c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,3,2)
value = 1:9
dat <- data.frame(id,cycle,value)
grid_dat <- expand.grid(id = 1:4,
cycle = 1:3)
# or you could do (HT #jogo):
# grid_dat <- expand.grid(id = unique(dat$id),
# cycle = unique(dat$cycle))
merge(x = grid_dat, y = dat, by = c('id','cycle'), all.x = T)
id cycle value
1 1 1 1
2 1 2 2
3 1 3 3
4 2 1 4
5 2 2 5
6 2 3 6
7 3 1 7
8 3 2 NA
9 3 3 8
10 4 1 NA
11 4 2 9
12 4 3 NA

A solution based on the package tidyverse.
library(tidyverse)
# Create example data frame
id <- c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4)
cycle <- c(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2)
value <- 1:9
dt <- data.frame(id, cycle, value)
# Complete the combination between id and cycle
dt2 <- dt %>% complete(id, cycle)

Here is a solution with data.table doing a cross join:
library("data.table")
d <- data.table(id = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4), cycle = c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,3,2), value = 1:9)
d[CJ(id=id, cycle=cycle, unique=TRUE), on=.(id,cycle)]

Pair-wise manipulating rows in data.frame

I have data on several thousand US basketball players over multiple years.
Each basketball player has a unique ID. It is known for what team and on which position they play in a given year, much like the mock data df below:
df <- data.frame(id = c(rep(1:4, times=2), 1),
year = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4,5),
team = c(1,2,3,4, 2,2,4,4,2),
position = c(1,2,3,4,1,1,4,4,4))
> df
id year team position
1 1 1 1 1
2 2 1 2 2
3 3 2 3 3
4 4 2 4 4
5 1 3 2 1
6 2 4 2 1
7 3 4 4 4
8 4 4 4 4
9 1 5 2 4
What is an efficient way to manipulate df into new_df below?
> new_df
id move time position.1 position.2 year.1 year.2
1 1 0 2 1 1 1 3
2 2 1 3 2 1 1 4
3 3 0 2 3 4 2 4
4 4 1 2 4 4 2 4
5 1 0 2 1 4 3 5
In new_df the first occurrence of the basketball player is compared to the second occurrence, recorded whether the player switched teams and how long it took the player to make the switch.
Note:
In the real data some basketball players occur more than twice and can play for multiple teams and on multiple positions.
In such a case a new row in new_df is added that compares each additional occurrence of a player with only the previous occurrence.
Edit: I think this is not a rather simple reshape exercise, because of the reasons mentioned in the previous two sentences. To clarify this, I've added an additional occurrence of player ID 1 to the mock data.
Any help is most welcome and appreciated!
s=table(df$id)
df$time=rep(1:max(s),each=length(s))
df1 = reshape(df,idvar = "id",dir="wide")
transform(df1, move=+(team.1==team.2),time=year.2-year.1)
id year.1 team.1 position.1 year.2 team.2 position.2 move time
1 1 1 1 1 3 2 1 0 2
2 2 1 2 2 4 2 1 1 3
3 3 2 3 3 4 4 4 0 2
4 4 2 4 4 4 4 4 1 2
The below code should help you get till the point where the data is transposed
You'll have to create the move and time variables
df <- data.frame(id = rep(1:4, times=2),
year = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4),
team = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 4, 4),
position = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4))
library(reshape2)
library(data.table)
setDT(df) #convert to data.table
df[,rno:=rank(year,ties="min"),by=.(id)] #gives the occurance
#creating the transposed dataset
Dcast_DT<-dcast(df,id~rno,value.var = c("year","team","position"))
This piece of code did the trick, using data.table
#transform to data.table
dt <- as.data.table(df)
#sort on year
setorder(dt, year, na.last=TRUE)
#indicate the names of the new columns
new_cols= c("time", "move", "prev_team", "prev_year", "prev_position")
#set up the new variables
dtt[ , (new_cols) := list(year - shift(year),team!= shift(team), shift(team), shift(year), shift(position)), by = id]
# select only repeating occurrences
dtt <- dtt[!is.na(dtt$time),]
#outcome
dtt
id year team position time move prev_team prev_year prev_position
1: 1 3 2 1 2 TRUE 1 1 1
2: 2 4 2 1 3 FALSE 2 1 2
3: 3 4 4 4 2 TRUE 3 2 3
4: 4 4 4 4 2 FALSE 4 2 4
5: 1 5 2 4 2 FALSE 2 3 1

Percolation clustering

Consider the following groupings:
> data.frame(x = c(3:5,7:9,12:14), grp = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3))
x grp
1 3 1
2 4 1
3 5 1
4 7 2
5 8 2
6 9 2
7 12 3
8 13 3
9 14 3
Let's say I don't know the grp values but only have a vector x. What is the easiest way to generate grp values, essentially an id field of groups of values within a threshold from from each other? Is this a percolation algorithm?
One option would be to compare the next with the current value and check if the difference is greater than 1, and get the cumulative sum.
df1$grp <- cumsum(c(TRUE, diff(df1$x) > 1))
df1$grp
#[1] 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3

Create a rolling index of pairs over groups

I need to create (with R) a rolling index of pairs from a data set that includes groups. Consider the following data set:
times <- c(4,3,2)
V1 <- unlist(lapply(times, function(x) seq(1, x)))
df <- data.frame(group = rep(1:length(times), times = times),
V1 = V1,
rolling_index = c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,5,5))
df
group V1 rolling_index
1 1 1 1
2 1 2 1
3 1 3 2
4 1 4 2
5 2 1 3
6 2 2 3
7 2 3 4
8 3 1 5
9 3 2 5
The data frame I have includes the variables group and V1. Within each group V1 designates a running index (that may or may not start at 1).
I want to create a new indexing variable that looks like rolling_index. This variable groups rows within the same group and consecutive V1 value, thus creating a new rolling index. This new index must be consecutive over groups. If there is an uneven amount of rows within a group (e.g. group 2), then the last, single row gets its own rolling index value.
You can try
library(data.table)
setDT(df)[, gr:=as.numeric(gl(.N, 2, .N)), group][,
rollindex:=cumsum(c(TRUE,abs(diff(gr))>0))][,gr:= NULL]
# group V1 rolling_index rollindex
#1: 1 1 1 1
#2: 1 2 1 1
#3: 1 3 2 2
#4: 1 4 2 2
#5: 2 1 3 3
#6: 2 2 3 3
#7: 2 3 4 4
#8: 3 1 5 5
#9: 3 2 5 5
Or using base R
indx1 <- !duplicated(df$group)
indx2 <- with(df, ave(group, group, FUN=function(x)
gl(length(x), 2, length(x))))
cumsum(c(TRUE,diff(indx2)>0)|indx1)
#[1] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5
Update
The above methods are based on the 'group' column. Suppose you already have a sequence column ('V1') by group as showed in the example, creation of rolling index is easier
cumsum(!!df$V1 %%2)
#[1] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5
As mentioned in the post, if the 'V1' column do not start at '1' for some groups, we can get the sequence from the 'group' and then do the cumsum as above
cumsum(!!with(df, ave(seq_along(group), group, FUN=seq_along))%%2)
#[1] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5
There is probably a simpler way but you can do:
rep_each <- unlist(mapply(function(q,r) {c(rep(2, q),rep(1, r))},
q=table(df$group)%/%2,
r=table(df$group)%%2))
df$rolling_index <- inverse.rle(x=list(lengths=rep_each, values=seq(rep_each)))
df$rolling_index
#[1] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5

create new column based on values on previous rows

I hope somebody can help me.
I have a data like this:
subject choice
1 3
2 3
3 1
4 4
5 3
6 2
7 2
8 3
now I want to create a new column based on the value of 'choice' column. If the value on choice column is new (has never occurred before), the value on the new column will be 'No', otherwise, if the value has already occur on previous rows , than the value in new column will be 'Soc'. the new table will look like this:
subject choice newcolumn
1 3 No
2 3 Soc
3 1 No
4 4 No
5 3 Soc
6 2 No
7 2 Soc
8 3 Soc
can somebody help me? thanks in advance
Using example data
DF <- data.frame(subject = 1:8, choice = c(3, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3))
I would do
DF <- transform(DF, newcolumn = c("No","Soc")[duplicated(choice) + 1])
giving
subject choice newcolumn
1 1 3 No
2 2 3 Soc
3 3 1 No
4 4 4 No
5 5 3 Soc
6 6 2 No
7 7 2 Soc
8 8 3 Soc
Without transform() this would be
DF$newcolumn <- c("No","Soc")[duplicated(DF$choice) + 1])
Another option using duplicated and ifelse:
transform(DF, newcolumn = ifelse(!duplicated(choice),'No','Soc'))
## subject choice newcolumn
## 1 1 3 No
## 2 2 3 Soc
## 3 3 1 No
## 4 4 4 No
## 5 5 3 Soc
## 6 6 2 No
## 7 7 2 Soc
## 8 8 3 Soc
There are a bunch of ways to do this, but using bracket subsetting will teach you some useful things about R:
# Make your example reproducible
subject <- 1:8
choice <- c(3, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3)
d <- data.frame(subject, choice)
# Create a new column, set all teh values to "No
d$newColumn <- "No"
# Set those values for which choice is duplicated to "Soc"
d$newColumn[duplicated(d$choice)] <- "Soc"

Select max or equal value from several columns in a data frame

I'm trying to select the column with the highest value for each row in a data.frame. So for instance, the data is set up as such.
> df <- data.frame(one = c(0:6), two = c(6:0))
> df
one two
1 0 6
2 1 5
3 2 4
4 3 3
5 4 2
6 5 1
7 6 0
Then I'd like to set another column based on those rows. The data frame would look like this.
> df
one two rank
1 0 6 2
2 1 5 2
3 2 4 2
4 3 3 3
5 4 2 1
6 5 1 1
7 6 0 1
I imagine there is some sort of way that I can use plyr or sapply here but it's eluding me at the moment.
There might be a more efficient solution, but
ranks <- apply(df, 1, which.max)
ranks[which(df[, 1] == df[, 2])] <- 3
edit: properly spaced!
