I have a vector X that contains positive numbers that I want to bin/discretize. For this vector, I want the numbers [0, 10) to show up just as they exist in the vector, but numbers [10,∞) to be 10+.
I'm using:
x <- c(0,1,3,4,2,4,2,5,43,432,34,2,34,2,342,3,4,2)
binned.x <- as.factor(ifelse(x > 10,"10+",x))
but this feels klugey to me. Does anyone know a better solution or a different approach?
How about cut:
binned.x <- cut(x, breaks = c(-1:9, Inf), labels = c(as.character(0:9), '10+'))
Which yields:
# [1] 0 1 3 4 2 4 2 5 10+ 10+ 10+ 2 10+ 2 10+ 3 4 2
# Levels: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10+
You question is inconsistent.
In description 10 belongs to "10+" group, but in code 10 is separated level.
If 10 should be in the "10+" group then you code should be
as.factor(ifelse(x >= 10,"10+",x))
In this case you could truncate data to 10 (if you don't want a factor):
pmin(x, 10)
# [1] 0 1 3 4 2 4 2 5 10 10 10 2 10 2 10 3 4 2 10
x[x>=10]<-"10+"
This will give you a vector of strings. You can use as.numeric(x) to convert back to numbers ("10+" become NA), or as.factor(x) to get your result above.
Note that this will modify the original vector itself, so you may want to copy to another vector and work on that.

I have a question and I'm not sure if I'm being totally stupid here or if this is a genuine problem, or if I've misunderstood what these functions do.
Is the opposite of diff the same as cumsum? I thought it was. However, using this example:
dd <- c(17.32571,17.02498,16.71613,16.40615,
16.10242,15.78516,15.47813,15.19073,
14.95551,14.77397)
par(mfrow = c(1,2))
plot(dd)
plot(cumsum(diff(dd)))
> dd
[1] 17.32571 17.02498 16.71613 16.40615 16.10242 15.78516 15.47813 15.19073 14.95551
[10] 14.77397
> cumsum(diff(dd))
[1] -0.30073 -0.60958 -0.91956 -1.22329 -1.54055 -1.84758 -2.13498 -2.37020 -2.55174
These aren't the same. Where have I gone wrong?
AHHH! Fridays.
Obviously
The functions are quite different: diff(x) returns a vector of length (length(x)-1) which contains the difference between one element and the next in a vector x, while cumsum(x) returns a vector of length equal to the length of x containing the sum of the elements in x
Example:
x <- c(1:10)
#[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
> diff(x)
#[1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
v <- cumsum(x)
> v
#[1] 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55
The function cumsum() is the cumulative sum and therefore the entries of the vector v[i] that it returns are a result of all elements in x between x[1] and x[i]. In contrast, diff(x) only takes the difference between one element x[i] and the next, x[i+1].
The combination of cumsum and diff leads to different results, depending on the order in which the functions are executed:
> cumsum(diff(x))
# 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Here the result is the cumulative sum of a sequence of nine "1". Note that if this result is compared with the original vector x, the last entry 10 is missing.
On the other hand, by calculating
> diff(cumsum(x))
# 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
one obtains a vector that is again similar to the original vector x, but now the first entry 1 is missing.
In none of the cases the original vector is restored, therefore it cannot be stated that cumsum() is the opposite or inverse function of diff()
You forgot to account for the impact of the first element
dd == c(dd[[1]], dd[[1]] + cumsum(diff(dd)))
#RHertel answered it well, stating that diff() returns a vector with length(x)-1.
Therefore, another simple workaround would be to add 0 to the beginning of the original vector so that diff() computes the difference between x[1] and 0.
> x <- 5:10
> x
#[1] 5 6 7 8 9 10
> diff(x)
#[1] 1 1 1 1 1
> diff(c(0,x))
#[1] 5 1 1 1 1 1
This way it is possible to use diff() with c() as a representation of the inverse of cumsum()
> cumsum(diff(c(0,x)))
#[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
> diff(c(0,cumsum(x)))
#[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
If you know the value of "lag" and "difference".
x<-5:10
y<-diff(x,lag=1,difference=1)
z<-diffinv(y,lag=1,differences = 1,xi=5) #xi is first value.
k<-as.data.frame(cbind(x,z))
k
x z
1 5 5
2 6 6
3 7 7
4 8 8
5 9 9
6 10 10
Suppose I have the following data.
x<- c(1,2, 3,4,5,1,3,8,2)
y<- c(4,2, 5,6,7,6,7,8,9)
data<-cbind(x,y)
x y
1 1 4
2 2 2
3 3 5
4 4 6
5 5 7
6 1 6
7 3 7
8 8 8
9 2 9
Now, if I subset this data to select only the observations with "x" between 1 and 3 I can do:
s1<- subset(data, x>=1 & x<=3)
and obtain my desired output:
x y
1 1 4
2 2 2
3 3 5
4 1 6
5 3 7
6 2 9
However, if I subset using the colon operator I obtained a different result:
s2<- subset(data, x==1:3)
x y
1 1 4
2 2 2
3 3 5
This time it only includes the first observation in which "x" was 1,2, or 3. Why?
I would like to use the ":" operator because I am writing a function so the user would input a range of values from which she wants to see an average calculated over the "y" variable. I would prefer if they can use ":" operator to pass this argument to the subset function inside my function but I don't know why subsetting with ":" gives me different results.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on this regard.
You can use %in% instead of ==
subset(data, x %in% 1:3)
In general, if we are comparing two vectors of unequal sizes, %in% would be used. There are cases where we can take advantage of the recycling (it can fail too) if the length of one of the vector is double that of the second. Some examples with some description is here.
I was wondering if it is possible to convert 1 column into 1 variable next to eachother
i.e.:
d <- data.frame(y = 1:10)
> d
y
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 10
Convert this column into:
> d
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
We don't know how are you going to use the numbers, but I think it is unnecessary to make any transformation. You can use d$y to get the numbers applied to any map of colors. See for example.
d <- data.frame(y = 1:7)
library(RColorBrewer)
mypalette<-brewer.pal(4,"Greens")
mycol <-palette()#rainbow(7)
heatmap(matrix(1:28,ncol=4),col=mypalette[d$y[1:4]],xlab="Greens (sequential)",
ylab="",xaxt="n",yaxt="n",bty="n",RowSideColors=mycol[d$y])
Not sure what is the prupose of:
1 variable next to eachother
But there are few ways to get the desired result (again, depends on the objective). You can do either:
d$y
unname(unlist(d)) #suggested by agstudy
or, better yet, to convert your dataframe's column into a vector, do this:
v <- as.vector(d[,1])
as string:
args <- paste(d$y, sep=" ")
args<-noquote(args)
now you'll have
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I have a data.frame with 2 variables, and 177 observations. I would like to sum up one variable to a certain value, and then get the value of the other variable when that threshold is reached. I will try to add an reproducible example. I am new here so forgive me if I do it wrong.
> df <- data.frame(x=10:1,y=1:10)
> print(df)
x y
1 10 1
2 9 2
3 8 3
4 7 4
5 6 5
6 5 6
7 4 7
8 3 8
9 2 9
10 1 10
How can I sum column y until it reaches a certain value, let's say 7, and then either have it return the value of X(4), or the row number 7. I am sure it is pretty straightforward, but I seem to be drawing a blank.
Here is my solution.
df[cumsum(df$y) <= 7,]
x y
1 10 1
2 9 2
3 8 3
The OP just asked for the relevant value of x which would be done using:
df$x[which(cumsum(df$y) >= 10)[1]]
Also note this finds the first where cumsum(df$y) is at least 10 whereas the other answers find the last <= 7 which is potentially different (though not for this dataset). For the original question (pre-comment) it would need to be:
df$x[which(cumsum(df$y) > 7)[1]]
If you want to stay with base R, try this
> df$x[df$y >= 7][1]
[1] 4
> max(cumsum(df$y[df$y <= 7]))
[1] 28
Or if you need this in a matrix form:
> cbind(df$x[df$y >= 7][1], max(cumsum(df$y[df$y <= 7])))
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 4 28
I would still look into switching to data.table or at least dplyr packages for data manipulation.
