R語言利器之ddply和aggregate

ddply和aggregate是兩個用來整合數(shù)據的功能強大的函數(shù)。
　　aggregate(x, ...)
　　關于aggregate()函數(shù)的使用在《R語言實戰(zhàn)》中P105有簡單描述，這里重新說一下。此函數(shù)主要有一下幾種用法：
  ## Default S3 method:
aggregate(x, ...)
 
## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
aggregate(x, by, FUN, ..., simplify = TRUE, drop = TRUE)
 
## S3 method for class 'formula'
aggregate(formula, data, FUN, ...,subset, na.action = na.omit)
 
## S3 method for class 'ts'
aggregate(x, nfrequency = 1, FUN = sum, ndeltat = 1,ts.eps = getOption("ts.eps"), ...)
例：　　　　
attach(mtcars)
aggdata <-aggregate(mtcars, by=list(cyl,gear), FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE)
aggdata
 Group.1 Group.2    mpg cyl     disp       hp     drat       wt    qsec  vs   am gear     carb
1       4       3 21.500   4 120.1000  97.0000 3.700000 2.465000 20.0100 1.0 0.00    3 1.000000
2       6       3 19.750   6 241.5000 107.5000 2.920000 3.337500 19.8300 1.0 0.00    3 1.000000
3       8       3 15.050   8 357.6167 194.1667 3.120833 4.104083 17.1425 0.0 0.00    3 3.083333
4       4       4 26.925   4 102.6250  76.0000 4.110000 2.378125 19.6125 1.0 0.75    4 1.500000
5       6       4 19.750   6 163.8000 116.5000 3.910000 3.093750 17.6700 0.5 0.50    4 4.000000
6       4       5 28.200   4 107.7000 102.0000 4.100000 1.826500 16.8000 0.5 1.00    5 2.000000
7       6       5 19.700   6 145.0000 175.0000 3.620000 2.770000 15.5000 0.0 1.00    5 6.000000
8       8       5 15.400   8 326.0000 299.5000 3.880000 3.370000 14.5500 0.0 1.00    5 6.000000

 　　得到數(shù)據框aggdata，其中的Group.1和Group.2的列名可以指定，只需第二行寫成：
1
aggdata <-aggregate(mtcars, by=list(Group.cyl=cyl, Group.gears=gear),FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE)
 即可。
　　注意：在使用aggregate()函數(shù)的時候， by中的變量必須在一個列表中（即使只有一個變量） 。 指定的函數(shù)FUN可為任意的內建或自編函數(shù) 。
　　其他的一些例子：　　
## Compute the averages for the variables in 'state.x77', grouped
## according to the region (Northeast, South, North Central, West) that
## each state belongs to.
aggregate(state.x77, list(Region = state.region), mean)
## Compute the averages according to region and the occurrence of more
## than 130 days of frost.
aggregate(state.x77,
          list(Region = state.region,Cold = state.x77[,"Frost"] > 130),
          mean)
## (Note that no state in 'South' is THAT cold.)
## example with character variables and NAs
testDF <- data.frame(v1 = c(1,3,5,7,8,3,5,NA,4,5,7,9),
                     v2 = c(11,33,55,77,88,33,55,NA,44,55,77,99) )
by1 <- c("red", "blue", 1, 2, NA, "big", 1, 2, "red", 1, NA, 12)
by2 <- c("wet", "dry", 99, 95, NA, "damp", 95, 99, "red", 99, NA, NA)
aggregate(x = testDF, by = list(by1, by2), FUN = "mean")
# and if you want to treat NAs as a group
fby1 <- factor(by1, exclude = "")
fby2 <- factor(by2, exclude = "")
aggregate(x = testDF, by = list(fby1, fby2), FUN = "mean")
## Formulas, one ~ one, one ~ many, many ~ one, and many ~ many:
aggregate(weight ~ feed, data = chickwts, mean)
aggregate(breaks ~ wool + tension, data = warpbreaks, mean)
aggregate(cbind(Ozone, Temp) ~ Month, data = airquality, mean)
aggregate(cbind(ncases, ncontrols) ~ alcgp + tobgp, data = esoph, sum)
## Dot notation:
aggregate(. ~ Species, data = iris, mean)
aggregate(len ~ ., data = ToothGrowth, mean)
## Often followed by xtabs():
ag <- aggregate(len ~ ., data = ToothGrowth, mean)
xtabs(len ~ ., data = ag)
## Compute the average annual approval ratings for American presidents.
aggregate(presidents, nfrequency = 1, FUN = mean)
## Give the summer less weight.
aggregate(presidents, nfrequency = 1,
          FUN = weighted.mean, w = c(1, 1, 0.5, 1))
 　　ddplycda數(shù)據分析師培訓

　　下面是ddply函數(shù)的一般用法：
# Summarize a dataset by two variables
dfx <- data.frame(
  group = c(rep('A', 8), rep('B', 15), rep('C', 6)),
  sex = sample(c("M", "F"), size = 29, replace = TRUE),
  age = runif(n = 29, min = 18, max = 54)
)
head(dfx)
 group sex      age
1     A   M 22.44750
2     A   M 52.92616
3     A   F 30.00443
4     A   M 39.56907
5     A   M 18.89180
6     A   F 50.81139
#Note the use of the '.' function to allow
# group and sex to be used without quoting
ddply(dfx, .(group, sex), summarize,mean = round(mean(age), 2),sd = round(sd(age), 2))
  group sex  mean    sd
1     A   F 40.41 14.71
2     A   M 30.35 13.17
3     B   F 34.81 12.76
4     B   M 34.04 13.36
5     C   F 35.09 13.39
6     C   M 28.53  4.57

base2 <- ddply(baseball, .(id), mutate,career_year = year - min(year) + 1)
