r - 计算每组的排名

Question

我有一个df类型和值。x我想按内部的顺序对它们进行排名，type并计算有多少其他行n的值x高于（列pos）。

例如

df <- data.frame(type = c("a","a","a","b","b","b"),x=c(1,77,1,34,1,8))
# for type a row 3 has a higher x than row 1 and 2 so has a pos value of 2

我可以这样做：

library(plyr)
df <- data.frame(type = c("a","a","a","b","b","b"),x=c(1,77,1,34,1,8))
df <- ddply(df,.(type), function(x) x[with(x, order(x)) ,])
df <- ddply(df,.(type), transform, pos = (seq_along(x)-1) )

     type  x pos
1    a  1   0
2    a  1   1
3    a 77   2
4    b  1   0
5    b  8   1
6    b 34   2

但是这种方法没有考虑类型a第 1 行和第 2 行之间的关系。在关系具有相同值的情况下，获得输出的最简单方法是什么，例如

     type  x pos
 1    a  1   0
 2    a  1   0
 3    a 77   2
 4    b  1   0
 5    b  8   1
 6    b 34   2

Answer 1

ddply(df,.(type), transform, pos = rank(x,ties.method ="min")-1)

  type  x pos
1    a  1   0
2    a 77   2
3    a  1   0
4    b 34   2
5    b  1   0
6    b  8   1
