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?

当你需要在不同的列上应用不同的聚合函数(并且你必须/想要坚持以R为基底)时,我发现它非常有用(并且有效):

e.g.

假设输入如下:

DF <-                
data.frame(Categ1=factor(c('A','A','B','B','A','B','A')),
           Categ2=factor(c('X','Y','X','X','X','Y','Y')),
           Samples=c(1,2,4,3,5,6,7),
           Freq=c(10,30,45,55,80,65,50))

> DF
  Categ1 Categ2 Samples Freq
1      A      X       1   10
2      A      Y       2   30
3      B      X       4   45
4      B      X       3   55
5      A      X       5   80
6      B      Y       6   65
7      A      Y       7   50

我们要按1类和2类进行分组,并计算Freq的样本和均值。 下面是使用ave的一个可能的解决方案:

# create a copy of DF (only the grouping columns)
DF2 <- DF[,c('Categ1','Categ2')]

# add sum of Samples by Categ1,Categ2 to DF2 
# (ave repeats the sum of the group for each row in the same group)
DF2$GroupTotSamples <- ave(DF$Samples,DF2,FUN=sum)

# add mean of Freq by Categ1,Categ2 to DF2 
# (ave repeats the mean of the group for each row in the same group)
DF2$GroupAvgFreq <- ave(DF$Freq,DF2,FUN=mean)

# remove the duplicates (keep only one row for each group)
DF2 <- DF2[!duplicated(DF2),]

结果:

> DF2
  Categ1 Categ2 GroupTotSamples GroupAvgFreq
1      A      X               6           45
2      A      Y               9           40
3      B      X               7           50
6      B      Y               6           65

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))

你也可以使用dplyr包来实现这个目的:

library(dplyr)
x %>% 
  group_by(Category) %>% 
  summarise(Frequency = sum(Frequency))

#Source: local data frame [3 x 2]
#
#  Category Frequency
#1    First        30
#2   Second         5
#3    Third        34

或者,对于多个摘要列(也适用于一个列):

x %>% 
  group_by(Category) %>% 
  summarise(across(everything(), sum))

下面是一些关于如何使用dplyr函数(使用内置数据集mtcars)按组总结数据的例子:

# several summary columns with arbitrary names
mtcars %>% 
  group_by(cyl, gear) %>%                            # multiple group columns
  summarise(max_hp = max(hp), mean_mpg = mean(mpg))  # multiple summary columns

# summarise all columns except grouping columns using "sum" 
mtcars %>% 
  group_by(cyl) %>% 
  summarise(across(everything(), sum))

# summarise all columns except grouping columns using "sum" and "mean"
mtcars %>% 
  group_by(cyl) %>% 
  summarise(across(everything(), list(mean = mean, sum = sum)))

# multiple grouping columns
mtcars %>% 
  group_by(cyl, gear) %>% 
  summarise(across(everything(), list(mean = mean, sum = sum)))

# summarise specific variables, not all
mtcars %>% 
  group_by(cyl, gear) %>% 
  summarise(across(c(qsec, mpg, wt), list(mean = mean, sum = sum)))

# summarise specific variables (numeric columns except grouping columns)
mtcars %>% 
  group_by(gear) %>% 
  summarise(across(where(is.numeric), list(mean = mean, sum = sum)))

有关更多信息,包括%>%操作符,请参阅dplyr介绍。

可以使用rowsum函数来计算频率。

data("mtcars")
df <- mtcars
df$cyl <- as.factor(df$cyl)

头部看起来如下:

               wt    mpg    cyl
              <dbl> <dbl>   <fct>
Mazda RX4     2.620  21.0   6
Mazda RX4 Wag 2.875  21.0   6
Datsun 710    2.320  22.8   4

然后,

rowsum(df$mpg, df$cyl) #values , group

4   293.3
6   138.2
8   211.4

从dplyr 1.0.0开始,可以使用across()函数:

df %>%
 group_by(Category) %>%
 summarise(across(Frequency, sum))

  Category Frequency
  <chr>        <int>
1 First           30
2 Second           5
3 Third           34

如果对多个变量感兴趣:

df %>%
 group_by(Category) %>%
 summarise(across(c(Frequency, Frequency2), sum))

  Category Frequency Frequency2
  <chr>        <int>      <int>
1 First           30         55
2 Second           5         29
3 Third           34        190

以及使用select helper来选择变量:

df %>%
 group_by(Category) %>%
 summarise(across(starts_with("Freq"), sum))

  Category Frequency Frequency2 Frequency3
  <chr>        <int>      <int>      <dbl>
1 First           30         55        110
2 Second           5         29         58
3 Third           34        190        380

样本数据:

df <- read.table(text = "Category Frequency Frequency2 Frequency3
                 1    First        10         10         20
                 2    First        15         30         60
                 3    First         5         15         30
                 4   Second         2          8         16
                 5    Third        14         70        140
                 6    Third        20        120        240
                 7   Second         3         21         42",
                 header = TRUE,
                 stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

rcs提供的答案很有效,也很简单。然而,如果你正在处理更大的数据集,需要性能提升,有一个更快的替代方案:

library(data.table)
data = data.table(Category=c("First","First","First","Second","Third", "Third", "Second"), 
                  Frequency=c(10,15,5,2,14,20,3))
data[, sum(Frequency), by = Category]
#    Category V1
# 1:    First 30
# 2:   Second  5
# 3:    Third 34
system.time(data[, sum(Frequency), by = Category] )
# user    system   elapsed 
# 0.008     0.001     0.009 

让我们用data.frame和上面的比较一下:

data = data.frame(Category=c("First","First","First","Second","Third", "Third", "Second"),
                  Frequency=c(10,15,5,2,14,20,3))
system.time(aggregate(data$Frequency, by=list(Category=data$Category), FUN=sum))
# user    system   elapsed 
# 0.008     0.000     0.015 

如果你想保留列,这是语法:

data[,list(Frequency=sum(Frequency)),by=Category]
#    Category Frequency
# 1:    First        30
# 2:   Second         5
# 3:    Third        34

数据集越大,这种差异就越明显,如下图所示:

data = data.table(Category=rep(c("First", "Second", "Third"), 100000),
                  Frequency=rnorm(100000))
system.time( data[,sum(Frequency),by=Category] )
# user    system   elapsed 
# 0.055     0.004     0.059 
data = data.frame(Category=rep(c("First", "Second", "Third"), 100000), 
                  Frequency=rnorm(100000))
system.time( aggregate(data$Frequency, by=list(Category=data$Category), FUN=sum) )
# user    system   elapsed 
# 0.287     0.010     0.296 

对于多个聚合,可以按如下方式组合lapply和.SD

data[, lapply(.SD, sum), by = Category]
#    Category Frequency
# 1:    First        30
# 2:   Second         5
# 3:    Third        34
