使用 dcast 從長格式轉到寬格式

轉換:基礎知識

轉換用於將資料從長格式轉換為寬格式。

從長資料集開始:

DT = data.table(ID = rep(letters[1:3],3), Age = rep(20:22,3), Test = rep(c("OB_A","OB_B","OB_C"), each = 3), Result = 1:9)

我們可以使用 data.table 中的 dcast 函式來轉換資料。這將以寬格式返回另一個 data.table:

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test, value.var = "Result")
   ID OB_A OB_B OB_C
1:  a    1    4    7
2:  b    2    5    8
3:  c    3    6    9

class(dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test, value.var = "Result"))
[1] "data.table" "data.frame"

轉換一個價值

value.var 引數對於正確演員是必要的 - 如果不提​​供,dcast 將根據你的資料做出假設。

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test, value.var = "Result")
   ID OB_A OB_B OB_C
1:  a    1    4    7
2:  b    2    5    8
3:  c    3    6    9

   ID OB_A OB_B OB_C
1:  a   20   20   20
2:  b   21   21   21
3:  c   22   22   22

可以在列表中提供多個 value.var

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test, value.var = list("Result","Age"))
   ID Result_OB_A Result_OB_B Result_OB_C Age_OB_A Age_OB_B Age_OB_C
1:  a           1           4           7       20       20       20
2:  b           2           5           8       21       21       21
3:  c           3           6           9       22       22       22

使用 dcast 中的公式引數控制強制轉換。這是 ROWS~COLUMNS 的形式

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test, value.var = "Result")
   ID OB_A OB_B OB_C
1:  a    1    4    7
2:  b    2    5    8
3:  c    3    6    9

dcast(DT, formula = Test ~ ID, value.var = "Result")
   Test a b c
1: OB_A 1 2 3
2: OB_B 4 5 6
3: OB_C 7 8 9

使用+可以使用更多變數擴充套件行和列

dcast(DT, formula = ID + Age ~ Test, value.var = "Result")
   ID Age OB_A OB_B OB_C
1:  a  20    1    4    7
2:  b  21    2    5    8
3:  c  22    3    6    9

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age + Test, value.var = "Result")
   ID 20_OB_A 20_OB_B 20_OB_C 21_OB_A 21_OB_B 21_OB_C 22_OB_A 22_OB_B 22_OB_C
1:  a       1       4       7      NA      NA      NA      NA      NA      NA
2:  b      NA      NA      NA       2       5       8      NA      NA      NA
3:  c      NA      NA      NA      NA      NA      NA       3       6       9

#order is important

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test + Age, value.var = "Result")
   ID OB_A_20 OB_A_21 OB_A_22 OB_B_20 OB_B_21 OB_B_22 OB_C_20 OB_C_21 OB_C_22
1:  a       1      NA      NA       4      NA      NA       7      NA      NA
2:  b      NA       2      NA      NA       5      NA      NA       8      NA
3:  c      NA      NA       3      NA      NA       6      NA      NA       9

轉換通常可以建立資料中沒有觀察的單元格。預設情況下,這由 NA 表示,如上所述。我們可以用 fill= 引數覆蓋它。

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Test + Age, value.var = "Result", fill = 0)
   ID OB_A_20 OB_A_21 OB_A_22 OB_B_20 OB_B_21 OB_B_22 OB_C_20 OB_C_21 OB_C_22
1:  a       1       0       0       4       0       0       7       0       0
2:  b       0       2       0       0       5       0       0       8       0
3:  c       0       0       3       0       0       6       0       0       9

你還可以在公式物件中使用兩個特殊變數

  • . 代表沒有其他變數
  • ... 代表所有其他變數
dcast(DT, formula = Age ~ ., value.var = "Result")
   Age .
1:  20 3
2:  21 3
3:  22 3

dcast(DT, formula = ID + Age ~ ..., value.var = "Result")
   ID Age OB_A OB_B OB_C
1:  a  20    1    4    7
2:  b  21    2    5    8
3:  c  22    3    6    9

聚合我們的 value.var

我們還可以一步投射和聚合值。在這種情況下,我們在 Age 和 ID 的每個交叉點都有三個觀察結果。要設定我們想要的聚合,我們使用 fun.aggregate 引數:

#length
dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age, value.var = "Result", fun.aggregate = length)
   ID 20 21 22
1:  a  3  0  0
2:  b  0  3  0
3:  c  0  0  3

#sum
dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age, value.var = "Result", fun.aggregate = sum)
   ID 20 21 22
1:  a 12  0  0
2:  b  0 15  0
3:  c  0  0 18

#concatenate
dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age, value.var = "Result", fun.aggregate = function(x){paste(x,collapse = "_")})
ID    20    21    22
1:  a 1_4_7            
2:  b       2_5_8      
3:  c             3_6_9

我們還可以將列表傳遞給 fun.aggregate 以使用多個功能

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age, value.var = "Result", fun.aggregate = list(sum,length))
   ID Result_sum_20 Result_sum_21 Result_sum_22 Result_length_20 Result_length_21 Result_length_22
1:  a            12             0             0                3                0                0
2:  b             0            15             0                0                3                0
3:  c             0             0            18                0                0                3

如果我們傳遞多個函式和多個值,我們可以通過傳遞 value.vars 的向量來計算所有組合

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age, value.var = c("Result","Test"), fun.aggregate = list(function(x){paste0(x,collapse = "_")},length))
   ID Result_function_20 Result_function_21 Result_function_22 Test_function_20 Test_function_21 Test_function_22 Result_length_20 Result_length_21
1:  a              1_4_7                                         OB_A_OB_B_OB_C                                                  3                0
2:  b                                 2_5_8                                       OB_A_OB_B_OB_C                                 0                3
3:  c                                                    3_6_9                                     OB_A_OB_B_OB_C                0                0
   Result_length_22 Test_length_20 Test_length_21 Test_length_22
1:                0              3              0              0
2:                0              0              3              0
3:                3              0              0              3

其中每一對按 value1_formula1, value1_formula2, ... , valueN_formula(N-1), valueN_formulaN 的順序計算。

或者,我們可以通過將’value.var’作為列表傳遞來一對一地評估我們的值和函式:

dcast(DT, formula = ID ~ Age, value.var = list("Result","Test"), fun.aggregate = list(function(x){paste0(x,collapse = "_")},length))
   ID Result_function_20 Result_function_21 Result_function_22 Test_length_20 Test_length_21 Test_length_22
1:  a              1_4_7                                                    3              0              0
2:  b                                 2_5_8                                 0              3              0
3:  c                                                    3_6_9              0              0              3

命名結果中的列

預設情況下,列名稱元件由下劃線 _ 分隔。這可以使用 sep= 引數手動覆蓋:

dcast(DT, formula = Test ~ ID + Age, value.var = "Result")
Test a_20 b_21 c_22
1: OB_A    1    2    3
2: OB_B    4    5    6
3: OB_C    7    8    9

dcast(DT, formula = Test ~ ID + Age, value.var = "Result", sep = ",")
   Test a,20 b,21 c,22
1: OB_A    1    2    3
2: OB_B    4    5    6
3: OB_C    7    8    9

這將分開我們使用的任何 fun.aggregatevalue.var

dcast(DT, formula = Test ~ ID + Age, value.var = "Result", fun.aggregate = c(sum,length), sep = ",")
   Test Result,sum,a,20 Result,sum,b,21 Result,sum,c,22 Result,length,a,20 Result,length,b,21 Result,length,c,22
1: OB_A               1               2               3                  1                  1                  1
2: OB_B               4               5               6                  1                  1                  1
3: OB_C               7               8               9                  1                  1                  1
