In R: how can I program this sum...with for? - r

My problem is in R
I start from a dataframe, where I have 2 variables z and p (p are the weights)
I need this sum
∑_i ∑_j ((z_i - z_j)·p_i·p_j·I_z)
Where I_z is an indicator, if z_i < z_j it is = -1, =1 otherwise
please consider that the data are big, dataframe could have also 10000 rows
I try with matrix but I have a problem of memory
I think to be obliged to use for loops...
any suggestion ?
thank you

Your "indicator" is just a fancy way of defining the abs function.
You can use outer is you have sufficient RAM:
set.seed(2)
n <- 2
DF <- data.frame(z=sample(1:2, n, TRUE),
p=sample(1:2, n, TRUE))
# z p
#1 1 2
#2 2 1
sum(outer(seq_len(nrow(DF)), seq_len(nrow(DF)), function(i, j) {
abs(DF$z[i] - DF$z[j]) * DF$p[i] * DF$p[j]
}))
#[1] 4
n <- 1e4
DF <- data.frame(z=sample(1:2, n, TRUE),
p=sample(1:2, n, TRUE))
sum(outer(seq_len(nrow(DF)), seq_len(nrow(DF)), function(i, j) {
abs(DF$z[i] - DF$z[j]) * DF$p[i] * DF$p[j]
}))
#[1] 112224330
If you don't, you need a loop. Using combn is one possibility, but it is slow since it is basically a loop:
2 * sum(combn(seq_len(nrow(DF)), 2, function(ind) {
abs(z[ind[1]] - z[ind[2]]) * p[ind[1]] * p[ind[2]]
}))
#[1] 112224330

Faster ways to generate Yellowstone sequence (A098550) in R?

I just saw a YouTube video from Numberphile on the Yellowstone sequence (A098550). It's base on a sequence starting with 1 and 2, with subsequent terms generated by the rules:
no repeated terms
always pick the lowest integer
gcd(a_n, a_(n-1)) = 1
gcd(a_n, a_(n-2)) > 1
The first 15 terms would be: 1 2 3 4 9 8 15 14 5 6 25 12 35 16 7
A Q&D approach in R could be something like this, but understandably, this becomes very slow at attempts to make longer sequences. It also make some assumptions about the highest number that is possible within the sequence (as info: the sequence of 10,000 items never goes higher than 5000).
What can we do to make this faster?
library(DescTools)
a <- c(1, 2, 3)
p <- length(a)
# all natural numbers
all_ints <- 1:5000
for (n in p:1000) {
# rule 1 - remove all number that are in sequence already
next_a_set <- all_ints[which(!all_ints %in% a)]
# rule 3 - search the remaining set for numbers that have gcd == 1
next_a_option <- next_a_set[which(
sapply(
next_a_set,
function(x) GCD(a[n], x)
) == 1
)]
# rule 4 - search the remaining number for gcd > 1
next_a <- next_a_option[which(
sapply(
next_a_option,
function(x) GCD(a[n - 1], x)
) > 1
)]
# select the lowest
a <- c(a, min(next_a))
n <- n + 1
}
Here's a version that's about 20 times faster than yours, with comments about the changes:
# Set a to the final length from the start.
a <- c(1, 2, 3, rep(NA, 997))
p <- 3
# Define a vectorized gcd() function. We'll be testing
# lots of gcds at once. This uses the Euclidean algorithm.
gcd <- function(x, y) { # vectorized gcd
while (any(y != 0)) {
x1 <- ifelse(y == 0, x, y)
y <- ifelse(y == 0, 0, x %% y)
x <- x1
}
x
}
# Guess at a reasonably large vector to work from,
# but we'll grow it later if not big enough.
allnum <- 1:1000
# Keep a logical record of what has been used
used <- c(rep(TRUE, 3), rep(FALSE, length(allnum) - 3))
for (n in p:1000) {
# rule 1 - remove all number that are in sequence already
# nothing to do -- used already records that.
repeat {
# rule 3 - search the remaining set for numbers that have gcd == 1
keep <- !used & gcd(a[n], allnum) == 1
# rule 4 - search the remaining number for gcd > 1
keep <- keep & gcd(a[n-1], allnum) > 1
# If we found anything, break out of this loop
if (any(keep))
break
# Otherwise, make the set of possible values twice as big,
# and try again
allnum <- seq_len(2*length(allnum))
used <- c(used, rep(FALSE, length(used)))
}
# select the lowest
newval <- which.max(keep)
# Assign into the appropriate place
a[n+1] <- newval
# Record that it has been used
used[newval] <- TRUE
}
If you profile it, you'll see it spends most of its time in the gcd() function. You could probably make that a lot faster by redoing it in C or C++.
The biggest change here is pre-allocation and restricting the search to numbers that have not yet been used.
library(numbers)
N <- 5e3
a <- integer(N)
a[1:3] <- 1:3
b <- logical(N) # which numbers have been used already?
b[1:3] <- TRUE
NN <- 1:N
system.time({
for (n in 4:N) {
a1 <- a[n - 1L]
a2 <- a[n - 2L]
for (k in NN[!b]) {
if (GCD(k, a1) == 1L & GCD(k, a2) > 1L) {
a[n] <- k
b[k] <- TRUE
break
}
}
if (!a[n]) {
a <- a[1:(n - 1L)]
break
}
}
})
#> user system elapsed

Loop calculation with previous value not using for in R

I'm a beginning R programmer. I have trouble in a loop calculation with a previous value like recursion.
An example of my data:
dt <- data.table(a = c(0:4), b = c( 0, 1, 2, 1, 3))
And calculated value 'c' is y[n] = (y[n-1] + b[n])*a[n]. Initial value of c is 0. (c[1] = 0)
I used the for loop and the code and result is as below.
dt$y <- 0
for (i in 2:nrow(dt)) {
dt$y[i] <- (dt$y[i - 1] + dt$b[i]) * dt$a[i]
}
a b y
1: 0 0 0
2: 1 1 1
3: 2 2 6
4: 3 1 21
5: 4 3 96
This result is what I want. However, my data has over 1,000,000 rows and several columns, therefore I'm trying to find other ways without using a for loop. I tried to use "Reduce()", but it only works with a single vector (ex. y[n] = y_[n-1]+b[n]). As shown above, my function uses two vectors, a and b, so I can't find a solution.
Is there a more efficient way to be faster without using a for loop, such as using a recursive function or any good package functions?
This kind of computation cannot make use of R's advantage of vectorization because of the iterative dependencies. But the slow-down appears to really be coming from indexing performance on a data.frame or data.table.
Interestingly, I was able to speed up the loop considerably by accessing a, b, and y directly as numeric vectors (1000+ fold advantage for 2*10^5 rows) or as matrix "columns" (100+ fold advantage for 2*10^5 rows) versus as columns in a data.table or data.frame.
This old discussion may still shed some light on this rather surprising result: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-July/282666.html
Please note that I also made a different toy data.frame, so I could test a larger example without returning Inf as y grew with i:
Option data.frame (numeric vectors embedded in a data.frame or data.table per your example):
vec_length <- 200000
dt <- data.frame(a=seq(from=0, to=1, length.out = vec_length), b=seq(from=0, to=-1, length.out = vec_length), y=0)
system.time(for (i in 2:nrow(dt)) {
dt$y[i] <- (dt$y[i - 1] + dt$b[i]) * dt$a[i]
})
#user system elapsed
#79.39 146.30 225.78
#NOTE: Sorry, I didn't have the patience to let the data.table version finish for vec_length=2*10^5.
tail(dt$y)
#[1] -554.1953 -555.1842 -556.1758 -557.1702 -558.1674 -559.1674
Option vector (numeric vectors extracted in advance of loop):
vec_length <- 200000
dt <- data.frame(a=seq(from=0, to=1, length.out = vec_length), b=seq(from=0, to=-1, length.out = vec_length), y=0)
y <- as.numeric(dt$y)
a <- as.numeric(dt$a)
b <- as.numeric(dt$b)
system.time(for (i in 2:length(y)) {
y[i] <- (y[i - 1] + b[i]) * a[i]
})
#user system elapsed
#0.03 0.00 0.03
tail(y)
#[1] -554.1953 -555.1842 -556.1758 -557.1702 -558.1674 -559.1674
Option matrix (data.frame converted to matrix before loop):
vec_length <- 200000
dt <- as.matrix(data.frame(a=seq(from=0, to=1, length.out = vec_length), b=seq(from=0, to=-1, length.out = vec_length), y=0))
system.time(for (i in 2:nrow(dt)) {
dt[i, 1] <- (dt[i - 1, 3] + dt[i, 2]) * dt[i, 1]
})
#user system elapsed
#0.67 0.01 0.69
tail(dt[,3])
#[1] -554.1953 -555.1842 -556.1758 -557.1702 -558.1674 -559.1674
#NOTE: a matrix is actually a vector but with an additional attribute (it's "dim") that says how the "matrix" should be organized into rows and columns
Option data.frame with matrix style indexing:
vec_length <- 200000
dt <- data.frame(a=seq(from=0, to=1, length.out = vec_length), b=seq(from=0, to=-1, length.out = vec_length), y=0)
system.time(for (i in 2:nrow(dt)) {
dt[i, 3] <- (dt[(i - 1), 3] + dt[i, 2]) * dt[i, 1]
})
#user system elapsed
#110.69 0.03 112.01
tail(dt[,3])
#[1] -554.1953 -555.1842 -556.1758 -557.1702 -558.1674 -559.1674
An option is to use Rcpp since for this recursive equation is easy to code in C++:
library(Rcpp)
cppFunction("
NumericVector func(NumericVector b, NumericVector a) {
int len = b.size();
NumericVector y(len);
for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
y[i] = (y[i-1] + b[i]) * a[i];
}
return(y);
}
")
func(c( 0, 1, 2, 1, 3), c(0:4))
#[1] 0 1 6 21 96
timing code:
vec_length <- 1e7
dt <- data.frame(a=1:vec_length, b=1:vec_length, y=0)
y <- as.numeric(dt$y)
a <- as.numeric(dt$a)
b <- as.numeric(dt$b)
system.time(for (i in 2:length(y)) {
y[i] <- (y[i - 1] + b[i]) * a[i]
})
# user system elapsed
# 19.22 0.06 19.44
system.time(func(b, a))
# user system elapsed
# 0.09 0.02 0.09
Here is a base R solution.
According to the information from #ThetaFC, an indication for speedup is to use matrix or vector (rather than data.frame for data.table). Thus, it is better to have the following preprocessing before calculating df$y, i.e.,
a <- as.numeric(df$a)
b <- as.numeric(df$b)
Then, you have two approaches to get df$y:
writing your customized recursion function
f <- function(k) {
if (k == 1) return(0)
c(f(k-1),(tail(f(k-1),1) + b[k])*a[k])
}
df$y <- f(nrow(df))
Or a non-recursion function (I guess this will be much faster then the recursive approach)
g <- Vectorize(function(k) sum(rev(cumprod(rev(a[2:k])))*b[2:k]))
df$y <- g(seq(nrow(df)))
such that
> df
a b y
1 0 0 0
2 1 1 1
3 2 2 6
4 3 1 21
5 4 3 96
I don't think this will be any faster, but here's one way to do it without an explicit loop
dt[, y := purrr::accumulate2(a, b, function(last, a, b) (last + b)*a
, .init = 0)[-1]]
dt
# a b y
# 1: 0 0 0
# 2: 1 1 1
# 3: 2 2 6
# 4: 3 1 21
# 5: 4 3 96

R Sum every k columns in matrix

I have a matrix temp1 (dimensions Nx16) (generally, NxM)
I would like to sum every k columns in each row to one value.
Here is what I got to so far:
cbind(rowSums(temp1[,c(1:4)]), rowSums(temp1[,c(5:8)]), rowSums(temp1[,c(9:12)]), rowSums(temp1[,c(13:16)]))
There must be a more elegant (and generalized) method to do it.
I have noticed similar question here:
sum specific columns among rows
couldn't make it work with Ananda's solution;
Got following error:
sapply(split.default(temp1, 0:(length(temp1)-1) %/% 4), rowSums)
Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) :
'x' must be an array of at least two dimensions
Please advise.
You can use by:
do.call(cbind, by(t(temp1), (seq(ncol(temp1)) - 1) %/% 4, FUN = colSums))
If the dimensions are equal for the sub matrices, you could change the dimensions to an array and then do the rowSums
m1 <- as.matrix(temp1)
n <- 4
dim(m1) <- c(nrow(m1), ncol(m1)/n, n)
res <- matrix(rowSums(apply(m1, 2, I)), ncol=n)
identical(res[,1],rowSums(temp1[,1:4]))
#[1] TRUE
Or if the dimensions are unequal
t(sapply(seq(1,ncol(temp2), by=4), function(i) {
indx <- i:(i+3)
rowSums(temp2[indx[indx <= ncol(temp2)]])}))
data
set.seed(24)
temp1 <- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(1:20, 16*4, replace=TRUE), ncol=16))
set.seed(35)
temp2 <- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(1:20, 17*4, replace=TRUE), ncol=17))
Another possibility:
x1<-sapply(1:(ncol(temp1)/4),function(x){rowSums(temp1[,1:4+(x-1)*4])})
## check
x0<-cbind(rowSums(temp1[,c(1:4)]), rowSums(temp1[,c(5:8)]), rowSums(temp1[,c(9:12)]), rowSums(temp1[,c(13:16)]))
identical(x1,x0)
# TRUE
Here's another approach. Convert the matrix to an array and then use apply with sum.
n <- 4
apply(array(temp1, dim=c(dim(temp1)/c(1,n), n)), MARGIN=c(1,3), FUN=sum)
Using #akrun's data
set.seed(24)
temp1 <- matrix(sample(1:20, 16*4, replace=TRUE), ncol=16)
a function which sums matrix columns with each group of size n columns
set.seed(1618)
mat <- matrix(rnorm(24 * 16), 24, 16)
f <- function(mat, n = 4) {
if (ncol(mat) %% n != 0)
stop()
cols <- split(colSums(mat), rep(1:(ncol(mat) / n), each = n))
## or use this to have n mean the number of groups you want
# cols <- split(colSums(mat), rep(1:n, each = ncol(mat) / n))
sapply(cols, sum)
}
f(mat, 4)
# 1 2 3 4
# -17.287137 -1.732936 -5.762159 -4.371258
c(sum(mat[,1:4]), sum(mat[,5:8]), sum(mat[,9:12]), sum(mat[,13:16]))
# [1] -17.287137 -1.732936 -5.762159 -4.371258
More examples:
## first 8 and last 8 cols
f(mat, 8)
# 1 2
# -19.02007 -10.13342
## each group is 16 cols, ie, the entire matrix
f(mat, 16)
# 1
# -29.15349
sum(mat)
# [1] -29.15349

how to do triple summations in matrices

I have got a triple summation expression like this
sum(l(from 1 to n))
sum(i(from 1 to m))
sum(t(from 1 to m)
[phil_z1_1[i]*phil_z1_1[t}*I(X(l)<min(y(i),y(t))]
I have done:
set.seed(1234567)
x <- rnorm(2900)
n <- length(x)
y <- rnorm(3000)*0.25
m <-length(y)
z1 <- runif(m,min=0,max=1)
z2 <- runif(m,min=0,max=1)
phil_z1_1 <- sqrt(12*(z1/z2)))
for min(y[i],y[t]) I have done something like
y_m<-matrix(rep(y,length(y)),ncol=length(y))
y_m_t<-t(y_m)
y_min<-pmin(y_m_t,y_m)
After expanding the two inner summation, For example, for example m=2,n=3
I can put the original expression into the matrices like x*A*x'
where
x=[phil_z1_1[1] phil_z1_1[2]]
A is a 2*2 matrix
A=[sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y[1],y[1]), sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y1,y2); sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y[2],y[1]), sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y[2],y[2])]
Therefore,
x*A*x'=[phil_z1_1[1] phil_z1_1[2]]*[sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y[1],y[1]), sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y1,y2); sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y[2],y[1]), sum(from 1 to n) I(x[l]<=min(y[2],y[2])][phil_z1_1[1] phil_z1_1[2]]'
Basically I want to create a m*m matrix for A, in which each individual element is equal to the sum of its corresponding part, for example, sum(from 1 to n)x[l]<=min(y[1],y[1]) will be the a11 of matrix A I want to create
I have tried to use
args <- expand.grid(l=1:n, i=1:m, t=1:m)
args <- subset(args, x[l] <= pmin(y[i],y[t])-z1[i]*z2[t])
args <- transform(args, result=phil_z1_1[i]*phil_z1_1[t])
sum(args[,"result"])
But r cannot run the above programming, as the sample size of data set is too big, around 3,000.
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Here is a matrix approach for your triple sum
set.seed(1234567)
n <- 10
x <- rnorm(n)
m <- 3000
y <- rnorm(m)/4
y_m <- pmin(matrix(rep(y,m), ncol=m, byrow=TRUE), y)
z1 <- runif(m,min=0,max=1)
z2 <- runif(m,min=0,max=1)
phi <- sqrt(12*(z1/z2))
phi_m <- phi %o% phi
f1 <- function(l) sum(phi_m * (x[l] < y_m))
sum(sapply(1:n, f1))
[1] 242034847337
It is not lightning fast, but much faster than the data.frame approach
f2 <- function(lrng) {
args <- expand.grid(l=lrng, i=1:m, t=1:m)
args <- subset(args, x[l] <= pmin(y[i],y[t]))
args <- transform(args, result=phi[i]*phi[t])
sum(args[,"result"])
}
sum(sapply(1:n, f2)) # 90 times slower
[1] 242034847337

Fastest way to do this double summation?

What is the fastest way to do this summation in R?
This is what I have so far
ans = 0
for (i in 1:dimx[1]){
for (j in 1:dimx[2]){
ans = ans + ((x[i,j] - parameters$mu)^2)/(parameters$omega_2[i]*parameters$sigma_2[j])
}
}
where omega_2, and sigma_2 are omega^2 and sigma^2 respectively.
Nothing fancy:
# sample data
m <- matrix(1:20, 4)
sigma <- 1:ncol(m)
omega <- 1:nrow(m)
mu <- 2
sum(((m - mu) / outer(omega, sigma))^2)
Usually it is quite easy to vectorize this kind of operations. In this case, though, it is a bit trickier when n is not equal to m and also because of double summation. But here is how we can proceed:
# n = 3, m = 2
xs <- cbind(1:3, 4:6)
omegas <- 1:3
sigmas <- 1:2
mu <- 3
sum((t((xs - mu) / omegas) / sigmas)^2)
# [1] 5
Here we use recycling three times and t() to divide appropriate elements by sigmas.
