r - R data.table 与 rollapply

Question

是否存在使用 data.table 分组计算滚动统计数据的现有习语？

例如，给定以下代码：

DT = data.table(x=rep(c("a","b","c"),each=2), y=c(1,3), v=1:6)
setkey(DT, y)

stat.ror <- DT[,rollapply(v, width=1, by=1, mean, na.rm=TRUE), by=y];

如果还没有，最好的方法是什么？

事实上，我现在正试图解决这个问题。这是一个部分解决方案，可用于按单列分组：

编辑：用RcppRoll得到它，我认为：

windowed.average <- function(input.table,
                             window.width = 2,
                             id.cols = names(input.table)[3],
                             index.col = names(input.table)[1],
                             val.col = names(input.table)[2]) {
  require(RcppRoll)

  avg.with.group <- 
    input.table[,roll_mean(get(val.col), n = window.width),by=c(id.cols)]
  avg.index <- 
    input.table[,roll_mean(get(index.col), n = window.width),by=c(id.cols)]$V1

  output.table <- data.table(
    Group = avg.with.group,
    Index = avg.index)

  # rename columns to (sensibly) match inputs
  setnames(output.table, old=colnames(output.table),
           new = c(id.cols,val.col,index.col))

  return(output.table)
}

将通过上述内容的（写得不好的）单元测试：

require(testthat)
require(zoo)
test.datatable <- data.table(Time = rep(seq_len(10), times=2), 
                             Voltage = runif(20), 
                             Channel= rep(seq_len(2),each=10))
test.width <- 8

# first test: single id column
test.avgtable <- data.table(
  test.datatable[,rollapply(Voltage, width = test.width, mean, na.rm=TRUE),
                       by=c("Channel")],
  Time = test.datatable[,rollapply(Time, width = test.width, mean, na.rm=TRUE),
                         by=c("Channel")]$V1)
setnames(test.avgtable,old=names(test.avgtable),
         new=c("Channel","Voltage","Time"))

expect_that(test.avgtable,
            is_identical_to(windowed.average(test.datatable,test.width)))

它的外观：

不幸的是，我没有设法使它与多个分组一起工作（如第二部分所示）：

对于多个列组看起来不错：

# second test: multiple id columns
# Depends on the first test passing to be meaningful.
test.width <- 4
test.datatable[,Class:= rep(seq_len(2),times=ceiling(nrow(test.datatable)/2))]
# windowed.average(test.datatable,test.width,id.cols=c("Channel","Class"))
test.avgtable <- rbind(windowed.average(test.datatable[Class==1,],test.width),
                       windowed.average(test.datatable[Class==2,],test.width))
# somewhat artificially attaching expected class labels
test.avgtable[,Class:= rep(seq_len(2),times=nrow(test.avgtable)/4,each=2)]
setkey(test.avgtable,Channel)
setcolorder(test.avgtable,c("Channel","Class","Voltage","Time"))

expect_that(test.avgtable,
            is_equivalent_to(windowed.average(test.datatable,test.width,
                                             id.cols=c("Channel","Class"))))
