Select row numbers of a data frame conditioning on another data frame - r

I have a data frame that I want to find the row numbers where these rows are in common with another data frame.
To make the question clear, say I have data frame A and data frame B:
dfA <- data.frame(NAME = rep(c("a", "b"), each = 3),
TRIAL = rep(1:3, 2),
DATA = runif(6))
dfB <- data.frame(NAME = c("a", "b"),
TRIAL = c(2, 3))
dfA
# NAME TRIAL DATA
# 1 a 1 0.62948592
# 2 a 2 0.88041819
# 3 a 3 0.02479411
# 4 b 1 0.48031827
# 5 b 2 0.86591315
# 6 b 3 0.93448264
dfB
# NAME TRIAL
# 1 a 2
# 2 b 3
I want to get dfA's row number where dfA and dfB have the same NAME and TRIAL, in this case, row numbers are 2 and 6.
I tried the following code, gives me row 2, 3, 5, 6. It separately matches NAME and TRIAL, doesn't work.
which(dfA$NAME %in% dfB$NAME & dfA$TRIAL %in% dfB$TRIAL)
# 2 3 5 6
Then I tried to create a dummy column and match this col. Works, but the code would be verbose if dfB has many columns...
dfA$dummy <- paste0(dfA$NAME, dfA$TRIAL)
dfB$dummy <- paste0(dfB$NAME, dfB$TRIAL)
which(dfA$dummy %in% dfB$dummy)
# 2 6
I'm wondering if there are better ways to solve the problem, thanks for your help!

You can do:
merge(transform(dfA, row.num = 1:nrow(dfA)), dfB)$row.num
# [1] 2 6
And if the whole goal of finding the indices is so that you can subset dfA, then you can just do merge(dfA, dfB).

Or use duplicated:
apply(dfB, 1, function(x)
which(duplicated(rbind(x, dfA[1:2])))-1)
# [1] 2 6

How to fill in R data.frame with named vectors of different lengths?

I need to fill in R data.frame (or data.table) using named vectors as rows. The problem is that named vectors to be used as rows usually do not have all the variables. In other words, usually named vector has smaller length than the number of columns. Names of variables in the vectors coincide with column names of the dataframe:
df <- data.frame(matrix(NA, 2, 3))
colnames(df) <- c("A", "B", "C")
obs1 <- c(A=2, B=4)
obs2 <- c(A=3, C=10)
I want df as follows:
> df
A B C
1 2 4 NA
2 3 NA 10
So I want to fill in the first two rows with obs1 and obs2 respectively. When I try to do it, I get an error:
> df[1,] <- obs1
Error in `[<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, 1, , value = c(A = 2, B = 4)) :
replacement has 2 items, need 3
I suspect that similar question was already asked, but I could not find it. Does anybody know how to do it using data.frame or data.table?
We need to select the columns as well based on the names of 'obs1' and 'obs2'
df[1, names(obs1)] <- obs1
df[2, names(obs2)] <- obs2
-output
> df
A B C
1 2 4 NA
2 3 NA 10
When we do df[1,], it returns the first row with all the columns i.e. the length is 3 where as 'obs1' or 'obs2' have only a length of 2, thus getting the error in length
Also, creating a template dataset to fill is not really needed as we can use bind_rows which will automatically fill with NA for those columns not present
library(dplyr)
bind_rows(obs1, obs2)
# A tibble: 2 x 3
A B C
<dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2 4 NA
2 3 NA 10
solution with data.table;
library(data.table)
obs1 <- data.table(t(obs1))
obs2 <- data.table(t(obs2))
df <- rbindlist(list(obs1,obs2),fill=T)
df
output;
A B C
<dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 2 4 NA
2 3 NA 10

Add new variable to specific position in dataframe without specifying a numbered position

In Stata, I can create a variable after or before another one. E.g. gen age=., after(sex)
I would like to do the same in R. Is it possible?
My database has 300 variables, so I don't want to count it to discover its numbered position and also I might change from time to time.
You could do:
library(tibble)
data <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3), b = c(1,2,3), c = c(1,2,3))
add_column(data, d = "", .after = "b")
# a b d c
# 1 1 1
# 2 2 2
# 3 3 3
Or another way could be:
data.frame(append(data, list(d = ""), after = match("b", names(data))))
First add the new column to the end of your data frame. Then, find the index of the column after which you want that new column to actually appear, and interpolate it:
df$new_col <- ...
index <- match("col_before", names(df))
df <- df[, c(names(df)[c(1:index)], "new_col", names(df)[c((index+1):(ncol(df)-1))])]
Sample:
df <- data.frame(v1=c(1:3), v2=c(4:6), v3=c(7:9))
df$new_col <- c(7,7,7)
index <- match("v2", names(df))
df <- df[, c(names(df)[c(1:index)], "new_col", names(df)[c((index+1):(ncol(df)-1))])]
df
v1 v2 new_col v3
1 1 4 7 7
2 2 5 7 8
3 3 6 7 9

Take sum of rows for every 3 columns in a dataframe

I have searched high and low and also tried multiple options to solve this but did not get the desired output as mentioned below:
I have dataframe df3 with headers as date and values beteween 0-1 as shown below:
df = data.frame(replicate(6,sample(0:1,6,rep=TRUE)))
colnames(df) = c("1/1/2018","1/2/2018","1/3/2018","1/4/2018","1/5/2018","1/6/2018")
df2 = data.frame(c("A","B","C","D","E","F"))
colnames(df2) = c("CUST_ID")
df3 = cbind(df2,df)
Now I need df4 in which sum of first 3 columns in series will form one column. This will be repeated in series for rest of the columns dynamically.
df4
Options I tried:
a) rbind.data.frame(apply(matrix(df3, nrow = n - 1), 1,sum))
b) col_list <- list(c("1/1/2018","1/2/2018","1/3/2018"), c("1/4/2018","1/5/2018","1/6/2018"))
lapply(col_list, function(x)sum(df3[,x])) %>% data.frame
One way would be to split df3 every 3 columns using split.default. To split the data we generate a sequence using rep, then for each dataframe we take rowSums and finally cbind the result together.
cbind(df3[1], sapply(split.default(df3[-1],
rep(1:ncol(df3), each = 3, length.out = (ncol(df3) -1))), rowSums))
# CUST_ID 1 2
#1 A 1 1
#2 B 2 0
#3 C 2 1
#4 D 1 1
#5 E 2 2
#6 F 2 2
FYI, the sequence generated from rep is
rep(1:ncol(df3), each = 3, length.out = (ncol(df3) -1))
#[1] 1 1 1 2 2 2
This makes it possible to split every 3 columns.
The results are different because OP used sample without set.seed.
If rep seems too long then we can generate the same sequence of columns using gl
gl(ncol(df3[-1])/3, 3)
#[1] 1 1 1 2 2 2
#Levels: 1 2
So the final code, would be
cbind(df3[1], sapply(split.default(df3[-1], gl(ncol(df3[-1])/3, 3)), rowSums))
We can use seq to create index, get the subset of columns within in a list, Reduce by taking the sum, and create new columns
df4 <- df3[1]
df4[paste0('col', c('123', '456'))] <- lapply(seq(2, ncol(df3), by = 3),
function(i) Reduce(`+`, df3[i:min((i+2), ncol(df3))]))
df4
# CUST_ID col123 col456
#1 A 2 2
#2 B 3 3
#3 C 1 3
#4 D 2 3
#5 E 2 1
#6 F 0 1
data
set.seed(123)
df <- data.frame(replicate(6,sample(0:1,6,rep=TRUE)))
colnames(df) <- c("1/1/2018","1/2/2018","1/3/2018","1/4/2018","1/5/2018","1/6/2018")
df2 <- data.frame(c("A","B","C","D","E","F"))
colnames(df2) = c("CUST_ID")
df3 <- cbind(df2, df)

Sum Values of Every Column in Data Frame with Conditional For Loop

So I want to go through a data set and sum the values from each column based on the condition of my first column. The data and my code so far looks like this:
x v1 v2 v3
1 0 1 5
2 4 2 10
3 5 3 15
4 1 4 20
for(i in colnames(data)){
if(data$x>2){
x1 <-sum(data[[i]])
}
else{
x2 <-sum(data[[i]])
}
}
My assumption was that the for loop would call each column by name from the data and then sum the values in each column based on whether they matched the condition of column x.
I want to sum half the values from each column and assign them to a value x1 and do the same for the remainder, assigning it to x2. I keep getting an error saying the following:
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
What am I doing wrong and is there a better way to go about this? Ideally I want a table that looks like this:
v1 v2 v3
x1 6 7 35
x2 4 3 15
Here's a dplyr solution. First, I define the data frame.
df <- read.table(text = "x v1 v2 v3
1 0 1 5
2 4 2 10
3 5 3 15
4 1 4 20", header = TRUE)
# x v1 v2 v3
# 1 1 0 1 5
# 2 2 4 2 10
# 3 3 5 3 15
# 4 4 1 4 20
Then, I create a label (x_check) to indicate which group each row belongs to based on your criterion (x > 2), group by this label, and summarise each column with a v in its name using sum.
# Load library
library(dplyr)
df %>%
mutate(x_check = ifelse(x>2, "x1", "x2")) %>%
group_by(x_check) %>%
summarise_at(vars(contains("v")), funs(sum))
# # A tibble: 2 x 4
# x_check v1 v2 v3
# <chr> <int> <int> <int>
# 1 x1 6 7 35
# 2 x2 4 3 15
Not sure if I understood your intention correctly, but here is how you would reproduce your results with base R:
df <- data.frame(
x = c(1:4),
v1 = c(0, 4, 5, 1),
v2 = 1:4,
v3 = (1:4)*5
)
x1 <- colSums(df[df$x > 2, 2:4, drop = FALSE])
x2 <- colSums(df[df$x <= 2, 2:4, drop = FALSE])
Where
df[df$x > 2, 2:4, drop = FALSE] will create a subset of df where the rows satisfy df$x > 2 and the columns are 2:4 (meaning the second, third and fourth column), drop = FALSE is there mainly to prevent R from simplifying the results in some special cases
colSums does a by-column sum on the subsetted data.frame
If your x column was really a condition (e.g. a logical vector) you could just do
x1 <- colSums(df[df$x, 2:4, drop = FALSE])
x2 <- colSums(df[!df$x, 2:4, drop = FALSE])
Note that there is no loop needed to get to the results, with R you should use vectorized functions as much as possible.
More generally, you could do such aggregation with aggregate:
aggregate(df[, 2:4], by = list(condition = df$x <= 2), FUN = sum)

Find the index of the row in data frame that contain one element in a string vector

If I have a data.frame like this
df <- data.frame(col1 = c(letters[1:4],"a"),col2 = 1:5,col3 = letters[10:14])
df
col1 col2 col3
1 a 1 j
2 b 2 k
3 c 3 l
4 d 4 m
5 a 5 n
I want to get the row indices that contains one of the element in c("a", "k", "n"); in this example, the result should be 1, 2, 5.
If you have a large data frame and you wish to check all columns, try this
x <- c("a", "k", "n")
Reduce(union, lapply(x, function(a) which(rowSums(df == a) > 0)))
# [1] 1 5 2
and of course you can sort the end result.
s <- c('a','k','n');
which(df$col1%in%s|df$col3%in%s);
## [1] 1 2 5
Here's another solution. This one works on the entire data.frame, and happens to capture the search strings as element names (you can get rid of those via unname()):
sapply(s,function(s) which(apply(df==s,1,any))[1]);
## a k n
## 1 2 5
Original second solution:
sort(unique(rep(1:nrow(df),ncol(df))[as.matrix(df)%in%s]));
## [1] 1 2 5
