如何将数据帧列转换为数字类型?
当前回答
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.

虽然其他人已经很好地讨论了这个话题,但我想补充一个额外的快速思考/提示。可以使用regexp提前检查字符是否可能仅由数字组成。
for(i in seq_along(names(df)){
potential_numcol[i] <- all(!grepl("[a-zA-Z]",d[,i]))
}
# and now just convert only the numeric ones
d <- sapply(d[,potential_numcol],as.numeric)

如果您不关心保留因子,并希望将其应用到任何可以转换为数字的列,我使用下面的脚本。 如果df是您的原始数据框架,您可以使用下面的脚本。
df[] <- lapply(df, as.character)
df <- data.frame(lapply(df, function(x) ifelse(!is.na(as.numeric(x)), as.numeric(x), x)))
顺便说一句,我参考了谢恩和乔兰的解决方案
使用下面的代码,您可以将所有数据帧的列转换为数字(X是我们想要转换它的列的数据帧):
as.data.frame(lapply(X, as.numeric))
要将整个矩阵转换为数字,你有两种方法: :
mode(X) <- "numeric"
or:
X <- apply(X, 2, as.numeric)
你也可以使用数据。矩阵函数将所有内容转换为数字,尽管要注意,因子可能无法正确转换,因此先将所有内容转换为字符会更安全:
X <- sapply(X, as.character)
X <- data.matrix(X)
如果我想同时转换成矩阵和数字,我通常使用最后一个
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))
