如何将数据帧列转换为数字类型?
当前回答
如果x是dataframe dat的列名,x的类型是factor,使用:
as.numeric(as.character(dat$x))

虽然你的问题严格是关于数字的,但在开始r时,有许多转换是难以理解的。我将致力于解决帮助的方法。这个问题和这个问题类似。
在R中,类型转换可能是一种痛苦,因为(1)因子不能直接转换为数字,它们需要首先转换为字符类,(2)日期是一种特殊情况,通常需要单独处理,(3)跨数据帧列的循环可能很棘手。幸运的是,“潮流宇宙”已经解决了大部分问题。
This solution uses mutate_each() to apply a function to all columns in a data frame. In this case, we want to apply the type.convert() function, which converts strings to numeric where it can. Because R loves factors (not sure why) character columns that should stay character get changed to factor. To fix this, the mutate_if() function is used to detect columns that are factors and change to character. Last, I wanted to show how lubridate can be used to change a timestamp in character class to date-time because this is also often a sticking block for beginners.
library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)

要将数据帧列转换为数字,你只需要做:-
因数转换为数字:-
data_frame$column <- as.numeric(as.character(data_frame$column))
我会加一条评论(不能低评级)
只需要添加user276042和pangratz
dat$x = as.numeric(as.character(dat$x))
这将覆盖现有列x的值
有一点对我很有帮助:如果要转换的变量范围(或者不止一个),可以使用sapply。
有点荒谬,举个例子:
data(cars)
cars[, 1:2] <- sapply(cars[, 1:2], as.factor)
假设第3列、第6-15列和第37列的数据帧需要转换为数字:
dat[, c(3,6:15,37)] <- sapply(dat[, c(3,6:15,37)], as.numeric)
如果数据帧有多种类型的列,一些字符,一些数字尝试以下转换列包含数值为数值:
for (i in 1:length(data[1,])){
if(length(as.numeric(data[,i][!is.na(data[,i])])[!is.na(as.numeric(data[,i][!is.na(data[,i])]))])==0){}
else {
data[,i]<-as.numeric(data[,i])
}
}
