Extract the data from the sublist into dataframe - r

the structure of the list as follow (the list goes on with the same structure):
> str(parsedData)
> List of 1658
> $ :List of 2
> ..$ Date : chr "2010-08-16"
> ..$ Volatility: num 11.1
> $ :List of 2
> ..$ Date : chr "2010-08-17"
> ..$ Volatility: num 26.2
as you can see, on the name of the first level of structure is empty space. I tried to extract the elements but fail:
> parsedData$Date
>NULL
anyone can tell me how to extract only the Date and Volatility from this list (especially with no title) and put them all in the same dataframe like this? Thanks!
Date Volatility
2010-08-16 11.1
2010-08-17 26.2
... ...
(this is the first time i ask question, sorry for any editing mistake :) )

Not tested:
setNames(data.frame(do.call(rbind,lapply(1:length(parsedData),function(i)cbind(parsedData[[i]][1],parsedData[[i]][2])))),c("Date","Volatility")
OR:
setNames(data.frame(do.call(rbind,lapply(1:length(parsedData),function(i)t(parsedData[[i]][1:2])))),c("Date","Volatility"))

remove the extra information (attr) after reading file spss file using read_sav

I used read_sav() to read SPSS file in R.
How do I remove the extra information (attr).
I don't know how to create reprex for this question, but I have a sample below. I wish to remove attr from the column PersonID and convert it into normal dataframe/tibble
Thanks
'data.frame': 543 obs. of 1 variable:
$ PersonID : num 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
..- attr(*, "label")= chr "Person identifier"
..- attr(*, "format.spss")= chr "F8.0"
To remove all the attributes of the column you can use :
attributes(data$PersonID) <- NULL
To remove only specific ones you can do :
attr(data$PersonID, 'format.spss') <- NULL
To remove all attributes from all the columns :
data[] <- lapply(data, function(x) {attributes(x) <- NULL;x})
We can also use zap_labels and zap_formats from haven.
library(haven)
data <- zap_formats(zap_labels(data))

complex nested list to a clean matrix in R?

I have struggled for two days longs to find a way to create a specific matrix from a nested list
First of all, I am sorry if I don't explain my issue correctly I am one week new to StackOverflow* and R (and programming...)!
I use a file that you can find there :
original link: https://parltrack.org/dumps/ep_mep_activities.json.lz
Uncompressed by me here: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/701b7ac5250f451c6cb26d29b41bd88020200808183632/bb08429ca5102e3dc277f2f44d08f82220200808183652/666973
first 3 lists and last one (out of 23905) past here: https://pastebin.com/Kq7mjis5
With rjson, I have a nested list like this :
Nested list of MEP Votes
List of 23905
$ :List of 7
..$ ts : chr "2004-12-16T11:49:02"
..$ url : chr "http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/seance_pleniere/proces_verbal/2004/12-16/votes_nominaux/xml/P6_PV(2004)12-16(RCV)_XC.xml"
..$ voteid : num 7829
..$ title : chr "Projet de budget général 2005 modifié - bloc 3"
..$ votes :List of 3
.. ..$ +:List of 2
.. .. ..$ total : num 45
.. .. ..$ groups:List of 6
.. .. .. ..$ ALDE :List of 1
.. .. .. .. ..$ : Named num 4404
.. .. .. .. .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "mepid"
.. .. .. ..$ GUE/NGL:List of 25
.. .. .. .. ..$ : Named num 28469
.. .. .. .. .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "mepid"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : Named num 4298
.. .. .. .. .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "mepid"
then my goal is to have something like this :
final matrix
First I would like to keep only the lists (from [[1]] to [[23905]]) containing $vote$+$groups$Renew or $vote$-$groups$Renew or $vote$'0'$groups$Renew. The main list (the 23905) are registered votes. My work is on the Renew group so my only interest is to have a vote where the Renew groups exist to compare them with other groups.
After that my goal is to create a matrix like this all the [[x]] where we can find groups$Renewexists:
final matrix
V1 V2 (not mandatory) V3[[x]]$voteid
[mepid==666] GUE/NGL + (mepid==[666] is found in [[1]]$vote$+$groups$GUE/NGL)
[mepid==777] Renew - (mepid==[777] is found in [[1]]$vote$-$groups$GUE/NGL)
I want to create a matrix so I can process the votes of each MEP (referenced by their MEPid). Their votes are either + (for yea), - (for nay) or 0 (for abstain). Moreover, I would like to have political groups of MEP displayed in the column next to their mepid. We can find their political group thanks to the place where their votes are stored. If the mepid is shown in the list [[x]]$vote$+$groups$GUE/NGL she or he belongs to the GUE/NGL groups.
What I want to do might look like this
# Clean the nested list
Keep Vote[[x]] if Vote[[x]] list contain ,
$vote$+$groups$Renew,
or $vote$-$groups$Renew,
or $vote$'0'$groups$Renew
# Create the matrix (or a data.frame if it is easier)
VoteMatrix <- as.matrix(
V1 = all "mepid" found in the nested list
V2 = groups (name of the list where we can find the mepid) (not mandatory)
V3 to Vy = If.else(mepid is in [[x]]$vote$+ then “+”,
mepid is in [[x]]$vote$- then “-“, "0")
)
Thank you in advance,
*Nevertheless, I am reading this website actively since I started R!
You can see that the 'votes' sublist is composed of three items a list of member numbers stored within what I think are party designators. Here's how you might "straighten" the positive voter 'memids' by party:
str( unlist( sapply(names(jlis[[1]]$votes$'+'$groups), function(x) unlist(jlis[[1]]$votes$'+'$groups[[x]]) ) ) )
Named num [1:104] 28268 4514 28841 28314 28241 ...
- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:104] "ALDE.mepid" "ALDE.mepid" "ALDE.mepid" "ALDE.mepid" ...
You get a named numeric vector with 108 entries. Perhaps this will demonstrate what sort of terminology to use in better describing your desired result. (Just giving a partial schema for the desired result leaves way too much ambiguity to support a fully formed request.)
I do NOT see the number 23905 anywhere in what I downloaded from your link. We are clearly looking at different data. I see this for the timestamp: chr "2004-12-01T15:20:31". I'm not going to cut you any slack for not knowing R, since the task needs to be fully explained in a natural language. I will cut you slack regarding grammar if English is not your native tongue, but you definitely need to make a better effort at explication. This is what I see for the names with the votes$'+'$groups sublists of the first three items, but since RENEW is not in any of them there's not a lot that could be demonstrated about picking items:
> names( jlis[[1]]$votes$'+'$groups)
[1] "ALDE" "GUE/NGL" "IND/DEM" "NI" "PPE-DE" "PSE" "UEN"
> names( jlis[[2]]$votes$'+'$groups)
[1] "GUE/NGL" "IND/DEM" "NI" "PPE-DE"
> names( jlis[[3]]$votes$'+'$groups)
[1] "ALDE" "GUE/NGL" "IND/DEM" "NI" "PPE-DE" "PSE" "UEN" "Verts/ALE"
Furthermore, when I looked at all of the possible votes values using this method (for all three of the items you made available) I still see no RENEW names.
sapply( jlis[[1]]$votes[c("+","-","0")], function(x) names(x$groups) )
After second edit: Here's the next step of isolating those votes that contain a "Renew` value. I'm assuming that its possible to have a "Renew" value in only one of the three possible 'votes' values (+,-.0). If not (and there are always "Renew" values in each of them when there is one in any of them) then you might be able to simplify the logic. We make three logical vectors:
sapply( seq_along(MEPVotes) , function(i){ 'Renew' %in% names( MEPVotes[[i]]$votes[['0']][['groups']]) } )
#[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE
sapply( seq_along(MEPVotes) , function(i){ 'Renew' %in% names( MEPVotes[[i]]$votes[['+']][['groups']]) } )
#[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE
sapply( seq_along(MEPVotes) , function(i){ 'Renew' %in% names( MEPVotes[[i]]$votes[['-']][['groups']]) } )
#[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE
And then wrap them in a matrix call with 3 columns and take the maximum of each row (the maximum of c(TRUE,FALSE) is 1 and then convert back to logical.
selection_vec = as.logical( apply( matrix( c(
sapply( seq_along(MEPVotes) , function(i){ 'Renew' %in% names( MEPVotes[[i]]$votes[['0']][['groups']]) } ),
sapply( seq_along(MEPVotes) , function(i){ 'Renew' %in% names( MEPVotes[[i]]$votes[['+']][['groups']]) } ),
sapply( seq_along(MEPVotes) , function(i){ 'Renew' %in% names( MEPVotes[[i]]$votes[['-']][['groups']]) } ) ),
ncol=3 ), 1,max))
> selection_vec
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE

R dataframe define column names at creation

I get monthly price value for the two assets below from Yahoo:
if(!require("tseries") | !require(its) ) { install.packages(c("tseries", 'its')); require("tseries"); require(its) }
startDate <- as.Date("2000-01-01", format="%Y-%m-%d")
MSFT.prices = get.hist.quote(instrument="msft", start= startDate,
quote="AdjClose", provider="yahoo", origin="1970-01-01",
compression="m", retclass="its")
SP500.prices = get.hist.quote(instrument="^gspc", start=startDate,
quote="AdjClose", provider="yahoo", origin="1970-01-01",
compression="m", retclass="its")
I want to put these two into a single data frame with specified columnames (Pandas allows this now - a bit ironic since they take the data.frame concept from R). As below, I assign the two time series with names:
MSFTSP500.prices <- data.frame(msft = MSFT.prices, sp500= SP500.prices )
However, this does not preserve the column names [msft, snp500] I have appointed. I need to define column names in a separate line of code:
colnames(MSFTSP500.prices) <- c("msft", "sp500")
I tried to put colnames and col.names inside the data.frame() call but it doesn't work. How can I define column names while creating the data frame?
I found ?data.frame very unhelpful...
The code fails with an error message indicating no availability of as.its. So I added the missing code (which appears to have been successful after two failed attempts.) Once you issue the missing require() call you can use str to see what sort of object get.hist.quote actually returns. It is neither a dataframe nor a zoo object, although it resembles a zoo-object in many ways:
> str(SP500.prices)
Formal class 'its' [package "its"] with 2 slots
..# .Data: num [1:180, 1] 1394 1366 1499 1452 1421 ...
.. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
.. .. ..$ : chr [1:180] "2000-01-02" "2000-01-31" "2000-02-29" "2000-04-02" ...
.. .. ..$ : chr "AdjClose"
..# dates: POSIXct[1:180], format: "2000-01-02 16:00:00" "2000-01-31 16:00:00" ...
If you run cbind on those two objects you get a regular matrix with dimnames:
> str(cbind(SP500.prices, MSFT.prices) )
num [1:180, 1:2] 1394 1366 1499 1452 1421 ...
- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
..$ : chr [1:180] "2000-01-02" "2000-01-31" "2000-02-29" "2000-04-02" ...
..$ : chr [1:2] "AdjClose" "AdjClose"
You will still need to change the column names since there does not seem to be a cbind.its that lets you assign column-names. I would caution about using the data.frame method, since the object is might get confusing in its behavior:
> str( MSFTSP500.prices )
'data.frame': 180 obs. of 2 variables:
$ AdjClose :Formal class 'AsIs', 'its' [package ""] with 1 slot
.. ..# .S3Class: chr "AsIs" "its"
$ AdjClose.1:Formal class 'AsIs', 'its' [package ""] with 1 slot
.. ..# .S3Class: chr "AsIs" "its"
The columns are still S4 objects. I suppose that might be useful if you were going to pass them to other its-methods but could be confusing otherwise. This might be what you were shooting for:
> MSFTSP500.prices <- data.frame(msft = as.vector(MSFT.prices),
sp500= as.vector(SP500.prices) ,
row.names= as.character(MSFT.prices#dates) )
> str( MSFTSP500.prices )
'data.frame': 180 obs. of 2 variables:
$ msft : num 35.1 32 38.1 25 22.4 ...
$ sp500: num 1394 1366 1499 1452 1421 ...
> head(rownames(MSFTSP500.prices))
[1] "2000-01-02 16:00:00" "2000-01-31 16:00:00" "2000-02-29 16:00:00"
[4] "2000-04-02 17:00:00" "2000-04-30 17:00:00" "2000-05-31 17:00:00"
MSFT.prices is a zoo object, which seems to be a data-frame-alike, with its own column name which gets transferred to the object. Confer
tmp <- data.frame(a=1:10)
b <- data.frame(lost=tmp)
which loses the second column name.
If you do
MSFTSP500.prices <- data.frame(msft = as.vector(MSFT.prices),
sp500=as.vector(SP500.prices))
then you will get the colnames you want (though you won't get zoo-specific behaviours). Not sure why you object to renaming columns in a second command, though.

Fail to create couponbonds object in termstrc package using R

I am trying to use R package termstrc to estimate the term structure. To do that I have to prepare the data as the couponbonds class required by the package. I used some fake data to prevent the potential problem of the real data. Though I tried a lot, it still didn't work.
Any idea what is going wrong?

The problem was finally solved by adding one cashflow with amount zero to the CASHFLOW$CF.
Put it in another way, at least one bond should have at least two cashflows.
Then you may face another error caused by uniroot function. Be sure to only include the cashflow after TODAY. The termstrc doesn't filter the cashflow for you by using TODAY.

read.zoo works but then as.xts fails with "currently unsupported data type"

I've a csv file of daily bars, with just two lines:
"datestamp","Open","High","Low","Close","Volume"
"2012-07-02",79.862,79.9795,79.313,79.509,48455
(That file was an xts that was converted to a data.frame then passed on to write.csv)
I load it with this:
z=read.zoo(file='tmp.csv',sep=',',header=T,format = "%Y-%m-%d")
And it is fine as print(z) shows:
Open High Low Close Volume
2012-07-02 79.862 79.9795 79.313 79.509 48455
But then as.xts(z) gives: Error in coredata.xts(x) : currently unsupported data type
Here is the str(z) output:
‘zoo’ series from 2012-07-02 to 2012-07-02
Data:List of 5

..$ : NULL
..$ : chr [1:5] "Open" "High" "Low" "Close" ...
Index: Date[1:1], format: "2012-07-02"
I've so far confirmed it is not that 4 columns are num and one column is int, as I still get the error even after removing the Volume column. But, then, what could that error message be talking about?
As Sebastian pointed out in the comments, the problem is in the single row. Specifically the coredata is a list when read.zoo reads a single row, but something else (a matrix?) when there are 2+ rows.
I replaced the call to read.zoo with the following, and it works fine whether 1 or 2+ rows:
d=read.table(fname,sep=',',header=T)
x=as.xts(subset(d,select=-datestamp),order.by=as.Date(d$datestamp))
