How to count the number of two observations binary combinations? - r

In the example below, I would like the know the number of 010 sequences, or the number of 1010 sequences. Below is a workable example;
x <- c(1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0)
In this example, the number of 010 sequences would be 6 and the number of 1010 sequences would be 4.
What would be the most efficient/simplest way to count the number of consecutive sequences?

A stringless way:
f = function(x, patt){
if (length(x) == length(patt)) return(as.integer(x == patt))
w = head(seq_along(x), 1L-length(patt))
for (k in seq_along(patt)) w <- w[ x[w + k - 1L] == patt[k] ]
w
}
length(f(x, patt = c(0,1,0))) # 6
length(f(x, patt = c(1,0,1,0))) # 4
Alternatives. From #cryo11, here's another way:
function(x,patt) sum(apply(embed(x,length(patt)),1,function(x) all(!xor(x,patt))))
or another variation:
function(x,patt) sum(!colSums( xor(patt, t(embed(x,length(patt)))) ))
or with data.table:
library(data.table)
setkey(setDT(shift(x, seq_along(patt), type = "lead")))[as.list(patt), .N]
(The shift function is very similar to embed.)

Another solution would be this:
library(stringr)
x <- c(1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0)
xx = paste0(x, collapse = "")
str_count(xx, '(?<=010)')
[1] 6
str_count(xx, '(?<=1010)')
[1] 4
As #Pierre Lafortune pointed out in the comments this can be done without using any packages:
length(gregexpr("(?<=010)", xx, perl=TRUE)[[1]])
[1] 6

logic : take a substr of length of pattern you are searching for and compare it with the pattern.
xx = paste0(x, collapse = "")
# [1] "1001000111001010101010"
# case 1 :
xxx = "010"
sum(sapply(1:(length(x)-nchar(xxx)+1), function(i) substr(xx,i,i+nchar(xxx)-1)==xxx))
# [1] 6
# case 2 :
xxx = "1010"
# [1] 4

R introduced the startsWith function in 3.3.0. Using this and substring, we can implement #joel.wilson's method as
sum(startsWith(substring(paste(x, collapse=""),
head(seq_along(x), -2), tail(seq_along(x), -2)), "010"))
Here, substring constructs all three character adjacent sets and startsWith tests if each of these is the same as "010". The TRUE values are then summed together.

How to convert loop output to a vector?

I extract certain values out of dataset Z (the positions are given in dataset A) using a loop function.
#Exemplary datasets
Z <- data.frame(Depth=c(0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08,0.10,0.12,0.14,0.16,0.18,0.2),
Value=c(10,12,5,6,7,4,3,2,11,13))
A <- data.frame(Depth=c(0.067, 0.155))
for (n in c(1:nrow(A)))
+ {find_values <- Z$Value[Z$Depth>=A$Depth[n]][1]
+ print(find_values)}
#Result
[1] 6
[1] 2
The result seems to consist of values in two seperate vectors. How can I merge them in an easy way to one vector as follows?
[1] 6, 2
Thanks in advance!
For your code to work as it is you can store them using index in for loop
for (n in seq_len(nrow(A))) {
find_values[n] <- Z$Value[Z$Depth>=A$Depth[n]][1]
}
find_values
#[1] 6 2
However, you can simplify this with sapply by doing
sapply(A$Depth, function(x) Z$Value[which.max(Z$Depth >= x)])
#[1] 6 2
We can use a vectorized approach
Z$Value[findInterval(A$Depth, Z$Depth) + 1]
#[1] 6 2

DNA conditional frequency in R

I'm trying to find if there is any conditional dependence within 2 different DNA sequences in R
This is my code, however i'm getting an error;
Error in `[.data.frame`(data, i) : undefined columns selected
I'm not sure where the issue is, if I parentheses the data[i-1]==bases[b2], i just get multiple unexpected}, which is the only thing I can think else to do.
for (b1 in 1:length(bases))
{
for (b2 in 1:length(bases))
{
count = 1
for (i in 2:length(mydata1))
{
if ((mydata1[i]==bases[b1]) & mydata1[i-1]==bases[b2])
{
count = count+1
}
}
b3 = c(bases[b1], bases[b2], count)
print(b3)
}
}
_I'm expecting essentially a list of certain DNA bases, for example I see it as if the DNA sequence IS conditional upon the previous base then;.
[1] "A" "C" "002"
[1] "A" "C" "005"
[1] "A" "C" "009"
and so on, that can show me any indication as to whether a certain base has any sort of affect upon the identity of the following base, by clearly showing a condition for A to be previous to C.
Ok so essentially the mydata1 (there is also mydata2) are DNA sequences, that is to say a list of "A", "G", "C" and "T", each of which is 10,000 bases long.
As shown here;
V1
1 T
2 C
3 G
4 G
5 T
6 G
7 G
8 G
9 C
10 A
I'm tasked with trying to determine if the sequence has bases that are dependent on one another, so if [1] T affects the presence of [2] C, etc. One of the sequences is dependent, the other is not.
If I understand correctly, you want to count the occurrences of each pair of nucleotides i, i+1 in a sequence of DNA. You can achieve this with R function table; an example is provided below.
# input sequence
seq <- "ACGTACTGCACAAACTAC"
# length of input sequence
length_seq <- nchar(seq, type="chars")
# first substring: from 1 to second-last
seq1 <- substr(seq, 1, (length_seq - 1))
# second substring: from 2 to last
seq2 <- substring(seq, 2, length_seq)
# split strings
seq1_split <- strsplit(seq1, "")[[1]]
seq2_split <- strsplit(seq2, "")[[1]]
# initialize vectors
first_nt <- vector(mode="character", length = (length_seq - 1))
second_nt <- vector(mode="character", length = (length_seq -1))
# fill vectors
count = 0
for (b in seq1_split)
{
count = count + 1
first_nt[count] <- b
}
count = 0
for (b in seq2_split)
{
count = count + 1
second_nt[count] <- b
}
# create matrix with character i and i+1 in each row
mat <- matrix(c(first_nt, second_nt), nrow=(length_seq - 1))
# collapse matrix
to_table <- apply(mat, 1, paste, collapse="")
# table
my_table <- table(to_table)
print(my_table)

Reverse only alphabetical patterns in a string in R

I'm trying to learn R and a sample problem is asking to only reverse part of a string that is in alphabetical order:
String: "abctextdefgtext"
StringNew: "cbatextgfedtext"
Is there a way to identify alphabetical patterns to do this?
Here is one approach with base R based on the patterns showed in the example. We split the string to individual characters ('v1'), use match to find the position of characters with that of alphabet position (letters), get the difference of the index and check if it is equal to 1 ('i1'). Using the logical vector, we subset the vector ('v1'), create a grouping variable and reverse (rev) the vector based on grouping variable. Finally, paste the characters together to get the expected output
v1 <- strsplit(str1, "")[[1]]
i1 <- cumsum(c(TRUE, diff(match(v1, letters)) != 1L))
paste(ave(v1, i1, FUN = rev), collapse="")
#[1] "cbatextgfedtext"
Or as #alexislaz mentioned in the comments
v1 = as.integer(charToRaw(str1))
rawToChar(as.raw(ave(v1, cumsum(c(TRUE, diff(v1) != 1L)), FUN = rev)))
#[1] "cbatextgfedtext"
EDIT:
1) A mistake was corrected based on #alexislaz's comments
2) Updated with another method suggested by #alexislaz in the comments
data
str1 <- "abctextdefgtext"
You could do this in base R
vec <- match(unlist(strsplit(s, "")), letters)
x <- c(0, which(diff(vec) != 1), length(vec))
newvec <- unlist(sapply(seq(length(x) - 1), function(i) rev(vec[(x[i]+1):x[i+1]])))
paste0(letters[newvec], collapse = "")
#[1] "cbatextgfedtext"
Where s <- "abctextdefgtext"
First you find the positions of each letter in the sequence of letters ([1] 1 2 3 20 5 24 20 4 5 6 7 20 5 24 20)
Having the positions in hand, you look for consecutive numbers and, when found, reverse that sequence. ([1] 3 2 1 20 5 24 20 7 6 5 4 20 5 24 20)
Finally, you get the letters back in the last line.

Extracting numbers from character string based on delimiters

I have the following dataframe:
a <- seq(1:5)
b <- c("abc_a_123456_defghij_1", "abc_a_78912_abc_2", "abc_a_345678912_xyzabc_3",
"abc_b_34567_defgh_4", "abc_c_891234556778_ijklmnop_5")
df <- data.frame(a, b)
df$b <- as.character(df$b)
And I need to extract the numbers in df$b that come between the second and third underscores and assign to df$c.
I'm guessing there's a fairly simple solution, but haven't found it yet. The actual dataset is fairly large (3MM rows) so efficiency is a bit of a factor.
Thanks for the help!
We can use sub to match the zeor or more characters that are not a _ ([^_]*) from the start (^) of the string followed by an underscore (_), then another set of characters that are not an underscore followed by underscore, capture the one of more numbers that follows in a group ((\\d+)) followed by underscore and other characters, then replace it with the backreference for that group and finally convert it to numeric
as.numeric(sub("^[^_]*_[^_]+_(\\d+)_.*", "\\1", df$b))
#[1] 123456 78912 345678912 34567 891234556778
create a my_split function that finds the start and end position of "_" using gregexpr. Then extract the string between start and end position using substr.
my_split <- function(x, start, end){
a1 <- gregexpr("_", x)
substr(x, a1[[1]][start]+1, a1[[1]][end]-1)
}
b <- c("abc_a_123456_defghij_1", "abc_a_78912_abc_2", "abc_a_345678912_xyzabc_3", "abc_b_34567_defgh_4", "abc_c_891234556778_ijklmnop_5")
sapply(b, my_split, start = 2, end = 3)
# abc_a_123456_defghij_1 abc_a_78912_abc_2
# "123456" "78912"
# abc_a_345678912_xyzabc_3 abc_b_34567_defgh_4
# "345678912" "34567"
# abc_c_891234556778_ijklmnop_5
# "891234556778"
using data.table library
library(data.table)
setDT(df)[, c := lapply(b, my_split, start = 2, end = 3)]
df
# a b c
# 1: 1 abc_a_123456_defghij_1 123456
# 2: 2 abc_a_78912_abc_2 78912
# 3: 3 abc_a_345678912_xyzabc_3 345678912
# 4: 4 abc_b_34567_defgh_4 34567
# 5: 5 abc_c_891234556778_ijklmnop_5 891234556778
data:
a <- seq(1:5)
b <- c("abc_a_123456_defghij_1", "abc_a_78912_abc_2", "abc_a_345678912_xyzabc_3", "abc_b_34567_defgh_4", "abc_c_891234556778_ijklmnop_5")
df <- data.frame(a, b, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

How to delete everything after nth delimiter in R?

I have this vector myvec. I want to remove everything after second ':' and get the result. How do I remove the string after nth ':'?
myvec<- c("chr2:213403244:213403244:G:T:snp","chr7:55240586:55240586:T:G:snp" ,"chr7:55241607:55241607:C:G:snp")
result
chr2:213403244
chr7:55240586
chr7:55241607
We can use sub. We match one or more characters that are not : from the start of the string (^([^:]+) followed by a :, followed by one more characters not a : ([^:]+), place it in a capture group i.e. within the parentheses. We replace by the capture group (\\1) in the replacement.
sub('^([^:]+:[^:]+).*', '\\1', myvec)
#[1] "chr2:213403244" "chr7:55240586" "chr7:55241607"
The above works for the example posted. For general cases to remove after the nth delimiter,
n <- 2
pat <- paste0('^([^:]+(?::[^:]+){',n-1,'}).*')
sub(pat, '\\1', myvec)
#[1] "chr2:213403244" "chr7:55240586" "chr7:55241607"
Checking with a different 'n'
n <- 3
and repeating the same steps
sub(pat, '\\1', myvec)
#[1] "chr2:213403244:213403244" "chr7:55240586:55240586"
#[3] "chr7:55241607:55241607"
Or another option would be to split by : and then paste the n number of components together.
n <- 2
vapply(strsplit(myvec, ':'), function(x)
paste(x[seq.int(n)], collapse=':'), character(1L))
#[1] "chr2:213403244" "chr7:55240586" "chr7:55241607"
Here are a few alternatives. We delete the kth colon and everything after it. The example in the question would correspond to k = 2. In the examples below we use k = 3.
1) read.table Read the data into a data.frame, pick out the columns desired and paste it back together again:
k <- 3 # keep first 3 fields only
do.call(paste, c(read.table(text = myvec, sep = ":")[1:k], sep = ":"))
giving:
[1] "chr2:213403244:213403244" "chr7:55240586:55240586"
[3] "chr7:55241607:55241607"
2) sprintf/sub Construct the appropriate regular expression (in the case below of k equal to 3 it would be ^((.*?:){2}.*?):.* ) and use it with sub:
k <- 3
sub(sprintf("^((.*?:){%d}.*?):.*", k-1), "\\1", myvec)
giving:
[1] "chr2:213403244:213403244" "chr7:55240586:55240586"
[3] "chr7:55241607:55241607"
Note 1: For k=1 this can be further simplified to sub(":.*", "", myvec) and for k=n-1 it can be further simplified to sub(":[^:]*$", "", myvec)
Note 2: Here is a visualization of the regular regular expression for k equal to 3:
^((.*?:){2}.*?):.*
Debuggex Demo
3) iteratively delete last field We could remove the last field n-k times using the last regular expression in Note 1 above like this:
n <- 6 # number of fields
k < - 3 # number of fields to retain
out <- myvec
for(i in seq_len(n-k)) out <- sub(":[^:]*$", "", out)
If we wanted to set n automatically we could optionally replace the hard coded line setting n above with this:
n <- count.fields(textConnection(myvec[1]), sep = ":")
4) locate position of kth colon Locate the positions of the colons using gregexpr and then extract the location of the kth subtracting one from it since we don't want the trailing colon. Use substr to extract that many characters from the respective strings.
k <- 3
substr(myvec, 1, sapply(gregexpr(":", myvec), "[", k) - 1)
giving:
[1] "chr2:213403244:213403244" "chr7:55240586:55240586"
[3] "chr7:55241607:55241607"
Note 3: Suppose there are n fields. The question asked to delete everything after the kth delimiter so the solution should work for k = 1, 2, ..., n-1. It need not work for k = n since there are not n delimiters; however, if instead we define k as the number of fields to return then k = n makes sense and, in fact, (1) and (3) work in that case too. (2) and (4) do not work for this extension but we can easily get them to work by using paste0(myvec, ":") as the input instead of myvec.
Note 4: We compare performance:
library(rbenchmark)
benchmark(
.read.table = do.call(paste, c(read.table(text = myvec, sep = ":")[1:k], sep = ":")),
.sprintf.sub = sub(sprintf("^((.*?:){%d}.*?):.*", k-1), "\\1", myvec),
.for = { out <- myvec; for(i in seq_len(n-k)) out <- sub(":[^:]*$", "", out)},
.gregexpr = substr(myvec, 1, sapply(gregexpr(":", myvec), "[", k) - 1),
order = "elapsed", replications = 1000)[1:4]
giving:
test replications elapsed relative
2 .sprintf.sub 1000 0.11 1.000
4 .gregexpr 1000 0.14 1.273
3 .for 1000 0.15 1.364
1 .read.table 1000 2.16 19.636
The solution using sprintf and sub is the fastest although it does use a complex regular expression whereas the others use simpler or no regular expressions and might be preferred on grounds of simplicity.
ADDED Added additional solutions and additional notes.
