I've got a mess of data and am trying to efficiently wrangle it into shape. Here's a simplified short sample of the general format of my data.frame right now. The main difference is that I have a few more data labels like Label1 for my sampling units - each has a set of data similar to the data.frame I'm including but in my situation they are all in the same data.frame. I don't think that will complicate the reformatting so I've just included the single sampling unit of mock data here. StatsType levels Ave, Max, and Min are effectively nested within MeasureType.
tastycheez<-data.frame(
Day=rep((1:3),9),
StatsType=rep(c(rep("Ave",3),rep("Max",3),rep("Min",3)),3),
MeasureType=rep(c("Temp","H2O","Tastiness"),each=9),
Data_values=1:27,
Label1=rep("SamplingU1",27))
Ultimately, I would like a data frame where for each sampling unit and each Day there are columns holding the Data_values for my categories, like this:
Day Label1 Ave.Temp Ave.H2O Ave.Tastiness Max.Temp ...
1 SamplingU1 1 10 19 4 ...
2 SamplingU1 2 11 20 5 ...
I think some combination of functions from reshape,dplyr,tidyr, and/or data.table could do the job but I can't figure out how to code it. Here's what I've tried:
First, I spread the tastycheez (yum!), and that got me partway:
test<-spread(tastycheez,StatsType,Data_values)
Now I'm trying to spread it again or to cast, but with no luck:
test2<-spread(test,MeasureType,(Ave,Max,Min))
test2 <- recast(Day ~ MeasureType+c(Ave,Max,Min), data=test)
(I also tried melting the tastycheez but the results were a sticky, gooey mess and my tongue got burnt. that doesn't seem to be the right function for this.)
If you hate my puns please excuse them, I really can't figure this out!
Here are a couple related questions:
Combining two subgroups of data in the same dataframe
How can I spread repeated measures of multiple variables into wide format?
reshape2 You could use dcast from reshape2:
library(reshape2)
dcast(tastycheez,
Day + Label1 ~ paste(StatsType, MeasureType, sep="."),
value.var = "Data_values")
which gives
Day Label1 Ave.H2O Ave.Tastiness Ave.Temp Max.H2O Max.Tastiness Max.Temp Min.H2O Min.Tastiness Min.Temp
1 1 SamplingU1 10 19 1 13 22 4 16 25 7
2 2 SamplingU1 11 20 2 14 23 5 17 26 8
3 3 SamplingU1 12 21 3 15 24 6 18 27 9
tidyr Stealing #DavidArenburg's comment, here's the tidyr way:
library(tidyr)
tastycheez %>%
unite(temp, StatsType, MeasureType, sep = ".") %>%
spread(temp, Data_values)
which gives
Day Label1 Ave.H2O Ave.Tastiness Ave.Temp Max.H2O Max.Tastiness Max.Temp Min.H2O Min.Tastiness Min.Temp
1 1 SamplingU1 10 19 1 13 22 4 16 25 7
2 2 SamplingU1 11 20 2 14 23 5 17 26 8
3 3 SamplingU1 12 21 3 15 24 6 18 27 9

I have a dataframe where the columns represent monthly data and the rows different simulations. the data I am working with accumulates over time so I want to take the difference between the months to get the true value for that month. There are not headers for my data frame
For example:
View(df)=
1 3 4 6 19 23 24 25 26 ...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...
0 0 2 3 5 7 14 14 14 ...
My plan was to use the diff() function or something like it, but I am having trouble using it on a dataframe.
I have tried:
df1<-diff(df, lag = 1, differences = 1)
but only get zeros.
I am grateful for any advice.
see ?apply. If it's a data frame
apply(df,2,diff)
should work. Also since a dataframe is a list of vectors sapply(df,diff) should work.
I'm doing some cluster analysis on the MLTobs from the LifeTables package and have come across a tricky problem with the Year variable in the mlt.mx.info dataframe. Year contains the period that the life table was taken, in intervals. Here's a table of the data:

As you can see, some of the intervals sit within other intervals. Thankfully none of them overlap. I want to simplify the intervals so intervals such as 1992-1994 and 1991-1994 all go into 1990-1994.
An idea might be to get the modulo of each interval and sort them into their new intervals that way but I'm unsure how to do this with the interval data type. If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate the help. Ultimately I want to create a histogram or barplot to illustrate the nicely.
If I understand your problem, you'll want something like this:
bottom <- seq(1750, 2010, 5)
library(dplyr)
new_df <- mlt.mx.info %>%
arrange(Year) %>%
mutate(year2 = as.numeric(substr(Year, 6, 9))) %>%
mutate(new_year = paste0(bottom[findInterval(year2, bottom)], "-",(bottom[findInterval(year2, bottom) + 1] - 1)))
View(new_df)
So what this does, it creates bins, and outputs a new column (new_year) that is the bottom of the bin. So everything from 1750-1754 will correspond to a new value of 1750-1754 (in string form; the original is an integer type, not sure how to fix that). Does this do what you want? Double check the results, but it looks right to me.
This question already has an answer here:
Summarizing multiple columns with data.table
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am trying to write a function that will sum the column(s) in the data frame according to the values in the first two columns.For example I have a matrix M,
Crs gr P_7 P_8
38 1 3 16
38 1 12 45
38 1 9 28
40 2 3 9
40 2 14 29
40 1 4 3
40 2 8 2
I want to sum the columns according to column1(crs) first and then column2(gr). Result will be,
Crs gr P_7 P_8
38 1 24 89
40 2 25 40
40 1 4 3
Currently I am using,
M <- M[, list(sum(P_7),sum(P_8)), by=list(Crs,gr)]
But the problem with this, is that I have to define the names of columns which wont be fixed. So, I was wondering how can I do this without defining the names of the columns.
Thanks in advance!
You're looking for this:
M[, lapply(.SD, sum), by = list(Crs, gr)]
The package plyr has some magic for situations just like this. Use a combination of ddply and numcolwise, like this:
library(plyr)
ddply(dat, .(Crs, gr), numcolwise(sum))
results in:
Crs gr P_7 P_8
1 38 1 24 89
2 40 1 4 3
3 40 2 25 40
I need help with a R plot, with a data format I have not worked with before. Please help if you know.
NUMBER FREQUENCY
10 1
11 1
12 3
10 45
11 2
12 3
i need a bar plot with numbers on X axis (continuous, not bins in histogram) and frequency on Y, but combined.
like
10 46
11 3
12 6
it seems simple enough, but i have 10,000 rows and large numbers in real data so I am looking for a good solution in R without doing it manually.
What about:
##tapply splits dd$FREQ by dd$NUM and "sums" them
barplot(tapply(dd$FREQUENCY, dd$NUMBER, sum))
to get:
Read in your data:
dd = read.table(textConnection("NUMBER FREQUENCY
10 1
11 1
12 3
10 45
11 2
12 3"), header=TRUE)
I have data that illustrates hurricane tracks crossing through a series of "gates". How would I code it to output the GateID, and the count of times that each GateID occurs in the total data frame?
track_id day hour month year rate gate_id pres_inter vmax_inter
9 10 0 7 1 9.6451E-06 2 97809 23.545
9 10 0 7 1 9.6451E-06 17 100170 13.843
10 3 6 7 1 9.6451E-06 2 96662 31.568
13 22 12 8 1 9.6451E-06 1 94449 48.466
13 22 12 8 1 9.6451E-06 17 96749 30.55
16 13 0 8 1 9.6451E-06 4 98702 19.205
16 13 0 8 1 9.6451E-06 16 98585 18.143
19 27 6 9 1 9.6451E-06 9 98838 20.053
header <- read.table(fname_in, nrows=1)
track <- read.table(fname_in, sep=',', skip=1)
colnames(track) <- c("ID", "day", "month", "year", "hour", "rate", "gate_id", "pres_inter", "vmax_inter")
I think I would like to count the occurrence of each gate_id, and also perhaps output the maximum wind per gate (vmax_inter), etc....
Totally reading your mind, since you provide nothing concrete to go on. But if GateID is one of your data frame columns, you can get the count for each unique GateID along with other parameters using count from package plyr.
install.packages("plyr")
library("plyr")
count(mydf, vars = "GateID")
See ?count after installing for further details.
For the 2nd part of your question, see ?aggregate and consider the formula interface. For example,
aggregate(gate_id ~ vmax_inter, data = mydf, FUN = max)
or something similar. By the way, you can combine your two read.table steps with 'read.csv`
