只使用dplyr和map。

library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
set.seed(45)
dat1 <- data.frame(
  name = rep(c("firstName", "secondName"), each=4),
  numbers = rep(1:4, 2), value = rnorm(8)
)
longer_to_wider <- function(data, name_from, value_from){
  group <- colnames(data)[!(colnames(data) %in% c(name_from,value_from))]
  data %>% group_by(.data[[group]]) %>%
    summarise( name = list(.data[[name_from]]), 
               value = list(.data[[value_from]])) %>%
    {
      d <- data.frame(
        name = .[[name_from]] %>% unlist() %>% unique()
      )
      e <- map_dfc(.[[group]],function(x){
          y <- data_frame(
            x = data %>% filter(.data[[group]] == x) %>% pull(value_from)
          )
          colnames(y) <- x
          y
      })
      cbind(d,e)
    }
}
longer_to_wider(dat1, "name", "value")
#    name          1          2          3          4
# 1  firstName  0.3407997 -0.7033403 -0.3795377 -0.7460474
# 2 secondName -0.8981073 -0.3347941 -0.5013782 -0.1745357

简单多了!

devtools::install_github("yikeshu0611/onetree") #install onetree package

library(onetree)
widedata=reshape_toWide(data = dat1,id = "name",j = "numbers",value.var.prefix = "value")
widedata

        name     value1     value2     value3     value4
   firstName  0.3407997 -0.7033403 -0.3795377 -0.7460474
  secondName -0.8981073 -0.3347941 -0.5013782 -0.1745357

如果你想从宽返回到长，只改变宽为长，不改变对象。

reshape_toLong(data = widedata,id = "name",j = "numbers",value.var.prefix = "value")

        name numbers      value
   firstName       1  0.3407997
  secondName       1 -0.8981073
   firstName       2 -0.7033403
  secondName       2 -0.3347941
   firstName       3 -0.3795377
  secondName       3 -0.5013782
   firstName       4 -0.7460474
  secondName       4 -0.1745357

将三列数据框架重塑为矩阵(“长”到“宽”格式)。这个问题已经结束了，所以我在这里写了一个替代解。

我找到了另一种解决方案，可能对寻找将三列转换为矩阵的人有用。我指的是去耦(2.3.2)包。以下摘自他们的网站

生成一种表，其中行来自id_cols，列来自names_from，值来自values_from。

使用

pivot_wider_profile(
data,
id_cols,
names_from,
values_from,
values_fill = NA,
to_matrix = FALSE,
to_sparse = FALSE,
...
)

如果考虑性能，另一个选择是使用数据。表格对reshape2的melt和dcast函数的扩展

(参考:使用data.tables进行高效重塑)

library(data.table)

setDT(dat1)
dcast(dat1, name ~ numbers, value.var = "value")

#          name          1          2         3         4
# 1:  firstName  0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078
# 2: secondName -0.8204684  0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814

至于数据。表v1.9.6可以对多个列进行强制转换

## add an extra column
dat1[, value2 := value * 2]

## cast multiple value columns
dcast(dat1, name ~ numbers, value.var = c("value", "value2"))

#          name    value_1    value_2   value_3   value_4   value2_1   value2_2 value2_3  value2_4
# 1:  firstName  0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078  0.3672866 -1.6712572 3.190562 0.6590155
# 2: secondName -0.8204684  0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814 -1.6409368  0.9748581 1.476649 1.1515627

只使用dplyr和map。

library(dplyr)
library(purrr)
set.seed(45)
dat1 <- data.frame(
  name = rep(c("firstName", "secondName"), each=4),
  numbers = rep(1:4, 2), value = rnorm(8)
)
longer_to_wider <- function(data, name_from, value_from){
  group <- colnames(data)[!(colnames(data) %in% c(name_from,value_from))]
  data %>% group_by(.data[[group]]) %>%
    summarise( name = list(.data[[name_from]]), 
               value = list(.data[[value_from]])) %>%
    {
      d <- data.frame(
        name = .[[name_from]] %>% unlist() %>% unique()
      )
      e <- map_dfc(.[[group]],function(x){
          y <- data_frame(
            x = data %>% filter(.data[[group]] == x) %>% pull(value_from)
          )
          colnames(y) <- x
          y
      })
      cbind(d,e)
    }
}
longer_to_wider(dat1, "name", "value")
#    name          1          2          3          4
# 1  firstName  0.3407997 -0.7033403 -0.3795377 -0.7460474
# 2 secondName -0.8981073 -0.3347941 -0.5013782 -0.1745357

您可以使用重塑()函数或使用重塑包中的melt() / cast()函数来实现这一点。对于第二个选项，示例代码为

library(reshape)
cast(dat1, name ~ numbers)

或者使用重塑2

library(reshape2)
dcast(dat1, name ~ numbers)
