I am trying to convert a dataframe with labels/values to a named numeric vecotr.
For example I have the following dataframe
>df=data.frame(lab=c("A","B","C","D"),values=c(1,2,3,4))
> df
lab values
1 A 1
2 B 2
3 C 3
4 D 4
So what I am trying to do is to iterate or use a function on this data frame to get the following
>v_needed=c("A"=1,"B"=2,"C"=3,"D"=4)
> v_needed
A B C D
1 2 3 4
I tried to convert this to a factor but it didn't give the desired output
>v_failure=factor(df$values,labels=df$lab)
You can use the setNames function
v <- with(df, setNames(values, lab))
v
# A B C D
# 1 2 3 4

How does one count the characters based on the order they appear in a single length string. Below is an minimal example:
x <- "abbccdddaab"
First thought was this but it only counts them irrespective of order:
table(unlist(strsplit(x, "\\b")))
a b c d
3 3 2 3
But the desired output is:
a b c d a b
1 2 2 3 2 1
I would imagine the solution would require a for loop?
We can use rle instead of table as rle returns the output as a list of values and lengths based on checking whether the adjacent elements are same or not
out <- rle(strsplit(x, "\\b")[[1]])
setNames(out$lengths, out$values)
# a b c d a b
# 1 2 2 3 2 1
Using data.table::rleid :
x <- "abbccdddaab"
tmp <- strsplit(x, "\\b")[[1]]
table(data.table::rleid(tmp))
#1 2 3 4 5 6
#1 2 2 3 2 1
Given the following df:
a=c('a','b','c')
b=c(1,2,5)
c=c(2,3,4)
d=c(2,1,6)
df=data.frame(a,b,c,d)
a b c d
1 a 1 2 2
2 b 2 3 1
3 c 5 4 6
I'd like to apply a function that normally takes a vector (and returns a vector) like cummax row by row to the columns in position b to d.
Then, I'd like to have the output back in the df, either as a vector in a new column of the df, or replacing the original data.
I'd like to avoid writing it as a for loop that would iterate every row, pull out the content of the cells into a vector, do its thing and put it back.
Is there a more efficient way? I've given the apply family functions a go, but I'm struggling to first get a good way to vectorise content of columns by row and get the right output.
the final output could look something like that (imagining I've applied a cummax() function).
a b c d
1 a 1 2 2
2 b 2 3 3
3 c 5 5 6
or
a b c d output
1 a 1 2 2 (1,2,2)
2 b 2 3 1 (2,3,3)
3 c 5 4 6 (5,5,6)
where output is a vector.
Seems this would just be a simple apply problem that you want to cbind to df:
> cbind(df, apply(df[ , 4:2] # work with columns in reverse order
, 1, # do it row-by-row
cummax) )
a b c d 1 2 3
d a 1 2 2 2 1 6
c b 2 3 1 2 3 6
b c 5 4 6 2 3 6
Ouch. Bitten by failing to notice that this would be returned in a column oriented matrix and need to transpose that result; Such a newbie mistake. But it does show the value of having a question with a reproducible dataset I suppose.
> cbind(df, t(apply(df[ , 4:2] , 1, cummax) ) )
a b c d d c b
1 a 1 2 2 2 2 2
2 b 2 3 1 1 3 3
3 c 5 4 6 6 6 6
To destructively assign the result to df you would just use:
df <- # .... that code.
This does the concatenation with commas (and as a result no longer needs to be transposed:
> cbind(df, output=apply(df[ , 4:2] , 1, function(x) paste( cummax(x), collapse=",") ) )
a b c d output
1 a 1 2 2 2,2,2
2 b 2 3 1 1,3,3
3 c 5 4 6 6,6,6
We have a data frame as below :
raw<-data.frame(v1=c("A","B","C","D"),v2=c(NA,"B","C","A"),v3=c(NA,"A",NA,"D"),v4=c(NA,"D",NA,NA))
I need a result data frame in the following format :
result<-data.frame(v1=c("A","B","C","D"), v2=c(3,2,2,3))
Used the following code to get the count across one particular column :
count_raw<-sqldf("SELECT DISTINCT(v1) AS V1, COUNT(v1) AS count FROM raw GROUP BY v1")
This would return count of unique values across an individual column.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Use this
table(unlist(raw))
Output
A B C D
3 2 2 3
For data frame type output wrap this with as.data.frame.table
as.data.frame.table(table(unlist(raw)))
Output
Var1 Freq
1 A 3
2 B 2
3 C 2
4 D 3
If you want a total count,
sapply(unique(raw[!is.na(raw)]), function(i) length(which(raw == i)))
#A B C D
#3 2 2 3
We can use apply with MARGIN = 1
cbind(raw[1], v2=apply(raw, 1, function(x) length(unique(x[!is.na(x)]))))
If it is for each column
sapply(raw, function(x) length(unique(x[!is.na(x)])))
Or if we need the count based on all the columns, convert to matrix and use the table
table(as.matrix(raw))
# A B C D
# 3 2 2 3
If you have only character values in your dataframe as you've provided, you can unlist it and use unique or to count the freq, use count
> library(plyr)
> raw<-data.frame(v1=c("A","B","C","D"),v2=c(NA,"B","C","A"),v3=c(NA,"A",NA,"D"),v4=c(NA,"D",NA,NA))
> unique(unlist(raw))
[1] A B C D <NA>
Levels: A B C D
> count(unlist(raw))
x freq
1 A 3
2 B 2
3 C 2
4 D 3
5 <NA> 6
I need to sort the following data.frame (table 1):
X Y
A 1
B 5
C 0
D 3
based on the results of another data.frame (table 2):
X Y
C 10
B 9
A 8
D 7
So, data.frame # 1 ends like this:
X Y
C 0
B 5
A 1
D 3
How do I do this? I've tried to use:
table1[order(row names(table1),]
But I get the following error:
Subscript out of bound.
This should give the desired result:
table1[order(table2$X),]
I am trying to simulate n times the measuring order and see how measuring order effects my study subject. To do this I am trying to generate integer random numbers to a new column in a dataframe. I have a big dataframe and i would like to add a column into the dataframe that consists a random number according to the number of observations in a block.
Example of data(each row is an observation):
df <- data.frame(A=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3),
B=c("x","b","c","g","h","g","g","u","l"),
C=c(1,2,4,1,5,7,1,2,5))
A B C
1 1 x 1
2 1 b 2
3 1 c 4
4 2 g 1
5 2 h 5
6 3 g 7
7 3 g 1
8 3 u 2
9 3 l 5
What I'd like to do is add a D column and generate random integer numbers according to the length of each block. Blocks are defined in column A.
Result should look something like this:
df <- data.frame(A=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3),
B=c("x","b","c","g","h","g","g","u","l"),
C=c(1,2,4,1,5,7,1,2,5),
D=c(2,1,3,2,1,4,3,1,2))
> df
A B C D
1 1 x 1 2
2 1 b 2 1
3 1 c 4 3
4 2 g 1 2
5 2 h 5 1
6 3 g 7 4
7 3 g 1 3
8 3 u 2 1
9 3 l 5 2
I have tried to use R:s sample() function to generate random numbers but my problem is splitting the data according to block length and adding the new column. Any help is greatly appreciated.
It can be done easily with ave
df$D <- ave( df$A, df$A, FUN = function(x) sample(length(x)) )
(you could replace length() with max(), or whatever, but length will work even if A is not numbers matching the length of their blocks)
This is really easy with ddply from plyr.
ddply(df, .(A), transform, D = sample(length(A)))
The longer manual version is:
Use split to split the data frame by the first column.
split_df <- split(df, df$A)
Then call sample on each member of the list.
split_df <- lapply(split_df, function(df)
{
df$D <- sample(nrow(df))
df
})
Then recombine with
df <- do.call(rbind, split_df)
One simple way:
df$D = 0
counts = table(df$A)
for (i in 1:length(counts)){
df$D[df$A == names(counts)[i]] = sample(counts[i])
}
