Subsetting a matrix, addressing colnames - r

I have this document term matrix from package R{tm} which i have coerced to as.matrix. MWE here:
> inspect(dtm[1:ncorpus, intersect(colnames(dtm), thai_list)])
<<DocumentTermMatrix (documents: 15, terms: 4)>>
Non-/sparse entries: 17/43
Sparsity : 72%

1 0 1 0 0
2 0 1 0 0
3 0 1 0 0
4 0 2 0 0
5 0 4 0 0
6 1 1 0 0
7 1 1 0 0
8 0 1 0 0
9 0 1 0 0
10 0 1 0 0
I need to subset this as.matrix(dtm), such that I get only documents (rows) which refer to toyota_suv but no other vehicle. I get a subset for one term (toyota_suv) using dmat<-as.matrix(dtm[1:ncorpus, intersect(colnames(dtm), "toyota_suv")]) which works well. How do I set up a query: documents where toyota_suv is non-zero but values of non-toyota_suv columns are zero? I could have specified column-wise as ==0 but this matrix is dynamically generated. In some markets, there may be four cars, in some markets there may be ten. I cannot specify colnames beforehand. How do I (dynamically) club all the non-toyota_suv columns to be zero, like all_others==0?
Any help will be much appreciated.

You can accomplish this by getting the index position for toyota_suv, and then subsetting dtm to match that for non-zero, and all other columns using negative indexing on the same index variable to ensure they are all zero.
Here I modified your dtm slightly so that the two cases where toyota_sub are non-zero meet the criteria you are looking for (since none in your example met them):
dtm <- read.table(textConnection("
toyota_suv gmotors_suv ford_suv nissan_suv
0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 2 0 0
0 4 0 0
1 0 0 0
1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0"), header = TRUE)
Then it works:
# get the index of the toyota_suv column
index_toyota_suv <- which(colnames(dtm) == "toyota_suv")
# select only cases where toyota_suv is non-zero and others are zero
dtm[dtm[, "toyota_suv"] > 0 & !rowSums(dtm[, -index_toyota_suv]), ]
## toyota_suv gmotors_suv ford_suv nissan_suv
## 6 1 0 0 0
## 7 1 0 0 0
Note: This is not really a text analysis question at all, but rather one for how to subset matrix objects.

It would be helpful if you provided the exact code you are running and a sample data set to work with so that we can replicate your work and provide a working example.
Given that, if I understand your question correctly you are looking for a way to label all non-toyota columns to be zero. You could try:
df[colnames(df) != "toyota"] <- 0

Compute combination of a pair variables for a given operation in R

From a given dataframe:
# Create dataframe with 4 variables and 10 obs
set.seed(1)
df<-data.frame(replicate(4,sample(0:1,10,rep=TRUE)))
I would like to compute a substract operation between in all columns combinations by pairs, but only keeping one substact, i.e column A- column B but not column B-column A and so on.
What I got is very manual, and this tend to be not so easy when there are lots of variables.
# Result
df_result <- as.data.frame(list(df$X1-df$X2,
df$X1-df$X3,
df$X1-df$X4,
df$X2-df$X3,
df$X2-df$X4,
df$X3-df$X4))
Also the colname of the feature name should describe the operation i.e.(x1_x2) being x1-x2.
You can use combn:
COMBI = combn(colnames(df),2)
res = data.frame(apply(COMBI,2,function(i)df[,i[1]]-df[,i[2]]))
colnames(res) = apply(COMBI,2,paste0,collapse="minus")
head(res)
X1minusX2 X1minusX3 X1minusX4 X2minusX3 X2minusX4 X3minusX4
1 0 0 -1 0 -1 -1
2 1 1 0 0 -1 -1
3 0 0 0 0 0 0
4 0 0 -1 0 -1 -1
5 1 1 1 0 0 0
6 -1 0 0 1 1 0

randomly regroup data in r ('regroup' in package 'LearnBayes' and 'caroline' didn't work)

Suppose I have a binomial distribution where n=12, p=0.2. I split this sample into 4 chunks(groups), each chunk has group size 3. Then I remove the output whose sum is equal to 0, and combine the remaining outputs into a new dataset. Here are some of my code:
set.seed(123)
sample1=rbinom(12,1,0.2)
chuck2=function(x,n)split(x,cut(seq_along(x),n,labels=FALSE))
chunk=chuck2(sample1,4)
newvector=c()
for (i in 1:4){
aa=chunk[[i]]
if (sum(aa)!=0){
a.no0=aa
newvector=c(newvector,a.no0)
}
}
print(newvector)
and this is the result I got:
[1] 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
what I'm trying to do is randomly regroup this data, for example:
[1] 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
or
[1] 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0
......
I tried to use 'regroup' in package 'LearnBayes' and 'caroline', but it didn't work. Any hints please?

Sample random column in dataframe

I have the following code: model$data
model$data
[[1]]
Category1 Category2 Category3 Category4
3555 1 0 0 0
6447 1 0 0 0
5523 1 0 1 0
7550 1 0 1 0
6330 1 0 1 0
2451 1 0 0 0

5475 1 0 1 0
4198 1 0 0 0
223 1 0 1 0
4811 1 0 1 0
678 1 0 1 0
I am trying to use this formula to get an index of the column names:
sample(colnames(model$data), 1)
But I receive the following error message:
Error in sample.int(length(x), size, replace, prob) :
invalid first argument
Is there a way to avoid that error?
Notice this?
model$data
[[1]]
The [[1]] means that model$data is a list, whose first component is a data frame. To do anything with it, you need to pass model$data[[1]] to your code, not model$data.
sample(colnames(model$data[[1]]), 1)
This seems to be a near-duplicate of Random rows in dataframes in R and should probably be closed as duplicate. But for completeness, adapting that answer to sampling column-indices is trivial:
you don't need to generate a vector of column-names, only their indices. Keep it simple.
sample your col-indices from 1:ncol(df) instead of 1:nrow(df)
then put those column-indices on the RHS of the comma in df[, ...]
df[, sample(ncol(df), 1)]
the 1 is because you apparently want to take a sample of size 1.
one minor complication is that your dataframe is model$data[[1]], since your model$data looks like a list with one element which is a dataframe, rather than a plain dataframe. So first, assign df <- model$data[[1]]
finally, if you really really want the sampled column-name(s) as well as their indices:
samp_col_idxs <- sample(ncol(df), 1)
samp_col_names <- colnames(df) [samp_col_idxs]

Finding "similar" rows performing a conditional join with sqldf

Say I got a data.table (can also be data.frame, doesn't matter to me) which has numeric columns a, b, c, d and e.
Each row of the table represents an article and a-e are numeric characteristics of the articles.
What I want to find out is which articles are similar to each other, based on columns a, b and c.
I define "similar" by allowing a, b and c to vary +/- 1 at most.
That is, article x is similar to article y if neither a, b nor c differs by more than 1. Their values for d and e don't matter and may differ significantly.
I've already tried a couple of approaches but didn't get the desired result. What I want to achieve is to get a result table which contains only those rows that are similar to at least one other row. Plus, duplicates must be excluded.
Particularly, I'm wondering if this is possible using the sqldf library. My idea is to somehow join the table with itself under the given conditions, but I don't get it together properly. Any ideas (not necessarily using sqldf)?
Suppose our input data frame is the built-in 11x8 anscombe data frame. Its first three column names are x1, x2 and x3. Then here are some solutions.
1) sqldf This returns the pairs of row numbers of similar rows:
library(sqldf)
ans <- anscombe
ans$id <- 1:nrow(ans)
sqldf("select a.id, b.id
from ans a
join ans b on abs(a.x1 - b.x1) <= 1 and
abs(a.x2 - b.x2) <= 1 and
abs(a.x3 - b.x3) <= 1")
Add another condition and a.id < b.id if each row should not be paired with itself and if we want to exclude the reverse of each pair or add and not a.id = b.id to just exclude self pairs.
2) dist This returns a matrix m whose i,j-th element is 1 if rows i and j are similar and 0 if not based on columns 1, 2 and 3.
# matrix of pairs (1 = similar, 0 = not)
m <- (as.matrix(dist(anscombe[1:3], method = "maximum")) <= 1) + 0
giving:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
3 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0
4 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0
6 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
7 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1
8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1
9 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0
10 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
11 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1
We could add m[lower.tri(m, diag = TRUE)] <- 0 to exclude self pairs and the reverse of each pair if desired or diag(m) <- 0 to just exclude self pairs.
We can create a data frame of similar row number pairs like this. To keep the output short we have excluded self pairs and the reverse of each pair.
# two-column data.frame of pairs excluding self pairs and reverses
subset(as.data.frame.table(m), c(Var1) < c(Var2) & Freq == 1)[1:2]
giving:
Var1 Var2
34 1 4
35 2 4
45 1 5
58 3 6
91 3 9
93 5 9
101 2 10
106 7 10
117 7 11
118 8 11
Here is a network graph of the above. Note that answer continues after the graph:
# network graph
library(igraph)
g <- graph.adjacency(m)
plot(g)
# raster plot
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(as.data.frame.table(m), aes(Var1, Var2, fill = factor(Freq))) +
geom_raster()
I am quite new to R so don't expect to much.
What if you create from your values (which are basically vectors) a matrix with the distance from the two values. So you can find those combinations which have a difference of less than 1 from each other. Via this way you can find the matching (a)-pairs. Repeat this with (b) and (c) and find those which are included in all pairs.
Alternatively this can probably be done as a cube as well.
Just as a thought hint.

Find # of rows between events in R

I have a series of data in the format (true/false). eg it looks like it can be generated from rbinom(n, 1, .1). I want a column that represents the # of rows since the last true. So the resulting data will look like
true/false gap
0 0
0 0
1 0
0 1
0 2
1 0
1 0
0 1
What is an efficient way to go from true/false to gap (in practice I'll this will be done on a large dataset with many different ids)
DF <- read.table(text="true/false gap
0 0
0 0
1 0
0 1
0 2
1 0
1 0
0 1", header=TRUE)
DF$gap2 <- sequence(rle(DF$true.false)$lengths) * #create a sequence for each run length
(1 - DF$true.false) * #multiply with 0 for all 1s
(cumsum(DF$true.false) != 0L) #multiply with zero for the leading zeros
# true.false gap gap2
#1 0 0 0
#2 0 0 0
#3 1 0 0
#4 0 1 1
#5 0 2 2
#6 1 0 0
#7 1 0 0
#8 0 1 1
The cumsum part might not be the most efficient for large vectors. Something like
if (DF$true.false[1] == 0) DF$gap2[seq_len(rle(DF$true.false)$lengths[1])] <- 0
might be an alternative (and of course the rle result could be stored temporarly to avoid calculating it twice).
Ok, let me put this in answer
1) No brainer method
data['gap'] = 0
for (i in 2:nrow(data)){
if data[i,'true/false'] == 0{
data[i,'gap'] = data[i-1,'gap'] + 1
}
}
2) No if check
data['gap'] = 0
for (i in 2:nrow(data)){
data[i,'gap'] = (data[i-1,'gap'] + 1) * (-(data[i,'gap'] - 1))
}
Really don't know which is faster, as both contain the same amount of reads from data, but (1) have an if statement, and I don't know how fast is it (compared to a single multiplication)
