我有一个有两列的数据帧。第一列包含类别,如“第一”,“第二”,“第三”,第二列有数字,表示我从“类别”中看到特定组的次数。

例如:

Category     Frequency
First        10
First        15
First        5
Second       2
Third        14
Third        20
Second       3

我想按类别对数据进行排序,并将所有频率相加:

Category     Frequency
First        30
Second       5
Third        34

在R中怎么做呢?


当前回答

使用聚合:

aggregate(x$Frequency, by=list(Category=x$Category), FUN=sum)
  Category  x
1    First 30
2   Second  5
3    Third 34

在上面的例子中,可以在列表中指定多个维度。相同数据类型的多个聚合指标可以通过cbind合并:

aggregate(cbind(x$Frequency, x$Metric2, x$Metric3) ...

(嵌入@thelatemail评论),聚合也有一个公式界面

aggregate(Frequency ~ Category, x, sum)

或者,如果希望聚合多个列,可以使用。符号(也适用于一列)

aggregate(. ~ Category, x, sum)

或tapply:

tapply(x$Frequency, x$Category, FUN=sum)
 First Second  Third 
    30      5     34 

使用这些数据:

x <- data.frame(Category=factor(c("First", "First", "First", "Second",
                                      "Third", "Third", "Second")), 
                    Frequency=c(10,15,5,2,14,20,3))

其他回答

再加上第三个选项:

require(doBy)
summaryBy(Frequency~Category, data=yourdataframe, FUN=sum)

编辑:这是一个非常古老的答案。现在,我建议使用group_by和来自dplyr的summarise,如@docendo answer。

另一种解决方案是在矩阵或数据帧中按组返回和,并且简短快速:

rowsum(x$Frequency, x$Category)

你可以用函数群。sum来自包Rfast。

Category <- Rfast::as_integer(Category,result.sort=FALSE) # convert character to numeric. R's as.numeric produce NAs.
result <- Rfast::group.sum(Frequency,Category)
names(result) <- Rfast::Sort(unique(Category)
# 30 5 34

Rfast有许多组函数和组。和就是其中之一。

你也可以使用by()函数:

x2 <- by(x$Frequency, x$Category, sum)
do.call(rbind,as.list(x2))

其他那些包(plyr,重塑)的好处是返回data.frame,但是by()值得熟悉一下,因为它是一个基函数。

按组求和变量的一个好方法是

rowsum(numericToBeSummedUp, groups)

从基地。这里只有collapse::fsum和Rfast::group。求和更快。

关于速度和内存消耗

collapse::fsum(numericToBeSummedUp, groups)

在给定的例子中是最好的,当使用分组数据帧时可以加速。

GDF <- collapse::fgroup_by(DF, g) #Create a grouped data.frame with group g
#GDF <- collapse::gby(DF, g)      #Alternative

collapse::fsum(GDF)               #Calculate sum per group

这接近于将数据集分成每组子数据集的时间。

对不同方法的基准测试表明::fsum对单列折叠求和的速度比Rfast::group快两倍。Sum,比rowsum快7倍。紧随其后的是tapply, data。表,由和dplyr。Xtabs和aggregate是最慢的。

聚合两个列折叠::fsum仍然是最快的,比Rfast::group快3倍。求和,比rowsum快5倍。紧随其后的是数据。Table, tapply, by和dplyr。xtabs和aggregate是最慢的。


基准

set.seed(42)
n <- 1e5
DF <- data.frame(g = as.factor(sample(letters, n, TRUE))
              , x = rnorm(n), y = rnorm(n) )

library(magrittr)

有些方法允许执行有助于加快聚合速度的任务。

DT <- data.table::as.data.table(DF)
data.table::setkey(DT, g)

DFG <- collapse::gby(DF, g)
DFG1 <- collapse::gby(DF[c("g", "x")], g)

# Optimized dataset for this aggregation task
# This will also consume time!
DFS <- lapply(split(DF[c("x", "y")], DF["g"]), as.matrix)
DFS1 <- lapply(split(DF["x"], DF["g"]), as.matrix)

对一列求和。
