您可以使用该by
功能。
例如,给定以下 data.frame:
d <- data.frame(Group.1=c(1,1,2,1,3,3,1,3),Group.2=c('Eggs'),x=1:8)
> d
Group.1 Group.2 x
1 1 Eggs 1
2 1 Eggs 2
3 2 Eggs 3
4 1 Eggs 4
5 3 Eggs 5
6 3 Eggs 6
7 1 Eggs 7
8 3 Eggs 8
你可以这样做:
num <- 3 # sum only the first 3 rows
# The aggregation function:
# it is called for each group receiving the
# data.frame subset as input and returns the aggregated row
innerFunc <- function(subDf){
# we create the aggregated row by taking the first row of the subset
row <- head(subDf,1)
# we set the x column in the result row to the sum of the first "num"
# elements of the subset
row$x <- sum(head(subDf$x,num))
return(row)
}
# Here we call the "by" function:
# it returns an object of class "by" that is a list of the resulting
# aggregated rows; we want to convert it to a data.frame, so we call
# rbind repeatedly by using "do.call(rbind, ... )"
d2 <- do.call(rbind,by(data=d,INDICES=d$Group.1,FUN=innerFunc))
> d2
Group.1 Group.2 x
1 1 Eggs 7
2 2 Eggs 3
3 3 Eggs 19
