我有一个数据框,其中包含一列参差不齐的数据:“主题”,其中每个主题都是一串字符,相邻主题由分隔符(在本例中为“|”)相互分隔:
library(lubridate)
events <- data.frame(
date =dmy(c( "12/6/2012", "13/7/2012", "4/8/2012")),
days = c( 1, 6, 0.5),
name = c("Intro to stats", "Stats Winter school", "TidyR tools"),
topics= c( "probability|R", "R|regression|ggplot", "tidyR|dplyr"),
stringsAsFactors=FALSE
)
数据框如下所示events
:
date days name topics
1 2012-06-12 1.0 Intro to stats probability|R
2 2012-07-13 6.0 Stats Winter school R|regression|ggplot
3 2012-08-04 0.5 TidyR tools tidyR|dplyr
我想转换此数据框,以便每一行包含一个主题,并指示在该主题上花费了多少天,假设如果在 D 天内呈现 N 个主题,则每个主题花费了 D/N 天。
我不得不匆忙这样做,并且这样做如下:
library(dplyr)
events %>%
# Figure out how many topics were delivered at each event
mutate(
ntopics=sapply(
gregexpr("|", topics, fixed=TRUE),
function(x)(1 + sum(attr(x, "match.length") > 0 ))
)
) %>%
# Create a data frame with one topic per row
do(data.frame(
date =rep( .$date, .$ntopics),
days =rep( .$days, .$ntopics),
name =rep( .$name, .$ntopics),
ntopics =rep(.$ntopics, .$ntopics),
topic =unlist(strsplit(.$topics, "|", fixed=TRUE)),
stringsAsFactors=FALSE
)) %>%
# Estimate roughly how many days were spent on each topic
mutate(daysPerTopic=days/ntopics)
这给了我们
date days name ntopics topic daysPerTopic
1 2012-06-12 1.0 Intro to stats 2 probability 0.50
2 2012-06-12 1.0 Intro to stats 2 R 0.50
3 2012-07-13 6.0 Stats Winter school 3 R 2.00
4 2012-07-13 6.0 Stats Winter school 3 regression 2.00
5 2012-07-13 6.0 Stats Winter school 3 ggplot 2.00
6 2012-08-04 0.5 TidyR tools 2 tidyR 0.25
7 2012-08-04 0.5 TidyR tools 2 dplyr 0.25
我很想知道如何更优雅地实现这一目标。
