Fast %in% and ⁠%notin%⁠ operators

Description

Check whether values in a vector are in or not in another vector.

Built using data.table::'%chin%' and vctrs::vec_in() for performance.

Usage

x %in% y

x %notin% y

Arguments

x

A vector of values to check if they exist in y

y

A vector of values to check if x values exist in

Details

Falls back to base::'%in%' when x and y don't share a common type. This means that the behaviour of base::'%in%' is preserved (e.g. "1" %in% c(1, 2) is TRUE) but loses the speedup provided by vctrs::vec_in().

Examples

df <- tidytable(x = 1:4, y = 1:4)

df %>%
  filter(x %in% c(2, 4))

df %>%
  filter(x %notin% c(2, 4))

Apply a function across a selection of columns

Description

Apply a function across a selection of columns. For use in arrange(), mutate(), and summarize().

Usage

across(.cols = everything(), .fns = NULL, ..., .names = NULL)

Arguments

.cols

vector c() of unquoted column names. tidyselect compatible.

.fns

Function to apply. Can be a purrr-style lambda. Can pass also list of functions.

...

Other arguments for the passed function

.names

A glue specification that helps with renaming output columns. {.col} stands for the selected column, and {.fn} stands for the name of the function being applied. The default (NULL) is equivalent to "{.col}" for a single function case and "{.col}_{.fn}" when a list is used for .fns.

Examples

df <- data.table(
  x = rep(1, 3),
  y = rep(2, 3),
  z = c("a", "a", "b")
)

df %>%
  mutate(across(c(x, y), ~ .x * 2))

df %>%
  summarize(across(where(is.numeric), ~ mean(.x)),
            .by = z)

df %>%
  arrange(across(c(y, z)))

Add a count column to the data frame

Description

Add a count column to the data frame.

df %>% add_count(a, b) is equivalent to using df %>% mutate(n = n(), .by = c(a, b))

Usage

add_count(.df, ..., wt = NULL, sort = FALSE, name = NULL)

add_tally(.df, wt = NULL, sort = FALSE, name = NULL)

Arguments

.df

A data.frame or data.table

...

Columns to group by. tidyselect compatible.

wt

Frequency weights. Can be NULL or a variable:

  • If NULL (the default), counts the number of rows in each group.

  • If a variable, computes sum(wt) for each group.

sort

If TRUE, will show the largest groups at the top.

name

The name of the new column in the output.

If omitted, it will default to n.

Examples

df <- data.table(
  a = c("a", "a", "b"),
  b = 1:3
)

df %>%
  add_count(a)

Arrange/reorder rows

Description

Order rows in ascending or descending order.

Usage

arrange(.df, ...)

Arguments

...

Variables to arrange by

Examples

df <- data.table(
  a = 1:3,
  b = 4:6,

)

df %>%
  arrange(c, -a)

df %>%
  arrange(c, desc(a))

Coerce an object to a data.table/tidytable

Description

A tidytable object is simply a data.table with nice printing features.

Note that all tidytable functions automatically convert data.frames & data.tables to tidytables in the background. As such this function will rarely need to be used by the user.

Usage

as_tidytable(x, ..., .name_repair = "unique", .keep_rownames = FALSE)

Arguments

x

An R object

...

Additional arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

.name_repair

Treatment of duplicate names. See ?vctrs::vec_as_names for options/details.

.keep_rownames

Default is FALSE. If TRUE, adds the input object's names as a separate column named "rn". .keep_rownames = "id" names the column "id" instead.

Examples

df <- data.frame(x = -2:2, y = c(rep("a", 3), rep("b", 2)))

df %>%
  as_tidytable()

Do the values from x fall between the left and right bounds?

Description

between() utilizes data.table::between() in the background

Usage

between(x, left, right)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector

left, right

Boundary values

Examples

df <- data.table(
  x = 1:5,
  y = 1:5
)

# Typically used in a filter()
df %>%
  filter(between(x, 2, 4))

df %>%
  filter(x %>% between(2, 4))

# Can also use the %between% operator
df %>%
  filter(x %between% c(2, 4))

Bind data.tables by row and column

Description

Bind multiple data.tables into one row-wise or col-wise.

Usage

bind_cols(..., .name_repair = "unique")

bind_rows(..., .id = NULL)

Arguments

...

data.tables or data.frames to bind

.name_repair

Treatment of duplicate names. See ?vctrs::vec_as_names for options/details.

.id

If TRUE, an integer column is made as a group id

Examples

# Binding data together by row
df1 <- data.table(x = 1:3, y = 10:12)
df2 <- data.table(x = 4:6, y = 13:15)

df1 %>%
  bind_rows(df2)

# Can pass a list of data.tables
df_list <- list(df1, df2)

bind_rows(df_list)

# Binding data together by column
df1 <- data.table(a = 1:3, b = 4:6)
df2 <- data.table(c = 7:9)

df1 %>%
  bind_cols(df2)

# Can pass a list of data frames
bind_cols(list(df1, df2))

Extract a character column into multiple columns using regex

Description

Superseded

extract() has been superseded by separate_wider_regex().

Given a regular expression with capturing groups, extract() turns each group into a new column. If the groups don't match, or the input is NA, the output will be NA. When you pass same name in the into argument it will merge the groups together. Whilst passing NA in the into arg will drop the group from the resulting tidytable

Usage

extract(
  .df,
  col,
  into,
  regex = "([[:alnum:]]+)",
  remove = TRUE,
  convert = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

.df

A data.table or data.frame

col

Column to extract from

into

New column names to split into. A character vector.

regex

A regular expression to extract the desired values. There should be one group (defined by ⁠()⁠) for each element of into

remove

If TRUE, remove the input column from the output data.table

convert

If TRUE, runs type.convert() on the resulting column. Useful if the resulting column should be type integer/double.

...

Additional arguments passed on to methods.

Examples

df <- data.table(x = c(NA, "a-b-1", "a-d-3", "b-c-2", "d-e-7"))
df %>% extract(x, "A")
df %>% extract(x, c("A", "B"), "([[:alnum:]]+)-([[:alnum:]]+)")

# If no match, NA:
df %>% extract(x, c("A", "B"), "([a-d]+)-([a-d]+)")
# drop columns by passing NA
df %>% extract(x, c("A", NA, "B"), "([a-d]+)-([a-d]+)-(\\d+)")
# merge groups by passing same name
df %>% extract(x, c("A", "B", "A"), "([a-d]+)-([a-d]+)-(\\d+)")

Usage

slice_head(.df, n = 5, ..., .by = NULL, by = NULL)

slice_tail(.df, n = 5, ..., .by = NULL, by = NULL)

slice_max(.df, order_by, n = 1, ..., with_ties = TRUE, .by = NULL, by = NULL)

slice_min(.df, order_by, n = 1, ..., with_ties = TRUE, .by = NULL, by = NULL)

slice(.df, ..., .by = NULL)

slice_sample(
  .df,
  n,
  prop,
  weight_by = NULL,
  replace = FALSE,
  .by = NULL,
  by = NULL
)

Arguments

.df

A data.frame or data.table

n

Number of rows to grab

...

Integer row values

.by, by

Columns to group by

order_by

Variable to arrange by

with_ties

Should ties be kept together. The default TRUE may return can return multiple rows if they are equal. Use FALSE to ignore ties.

prop

The proportion of rows to select

weight_by

Sampling weights

replace

Should sampling be performed with (TRUE) or without (FALSE, default) replacement

Examples

df <- data.table(
  x = 1:4,
  y = 5:8,
  z = c("a", "a", "a", "b")
)

df %>%
  slice(1:3)

df %>%

  slice(1:2, .by = z)

df %>%
  slice_head(1, .by = z)

  slice_max(order_by = x, .by = z)

df %>%
  slice_min(order_by = y, .by = z)

Aggregate data using summary statistics

Description

Aggregate data using summary statistics such as mean or median. Can be calculated by group.

Usage

summarize(
  .df,
  ...,
  .by = NULL,
  .sort = TRUE,
  .groups = "drop_last",
  .unpack = FALSE
)

summarise(
  .df,
  ...,
  .by = NULL,
  .sort = TRUE,
  .groups = "drop_last",
  .unpack = FALSE
)

Arguments

.df

A data.frame or data.table

...

Aggregations to perform

.by

Columns to group by.

  • A single column can be passed with .by = d.

  • Multiple columns can be passed with .by = c(c, d)

  • tidyselect can be used:

    • Single predicate: .by = where(is.character)

    • Multiple predicates: .by = c(where(is.character), where(is.factor))

    • A combination of predicates and column names: .by = c(where(is.character), b)

.sort

experimental: Default TRUE. If FALSE the original order of the grouping variables will be preserved.

.groups

Grouping structure of the result

  • "drop_last": Drop the last level of grouping

  • "drop": Drop all groups

  • "keep": Keep all groups

.unpack

experimental: Default FALSE. Should unnamed data frame inputs be unpacked. The user must opt in to this option as it can lead to a reduction in performance.

Examples

df <- data.table(
  a = 1:3,
  b = 4:6,
  c = c("a", "a", "b"),
  d = c("a", "a", "b")
)

df %>%
  summarize(avg_a = mean(a),
            max_b = max(b),
            .by = c)

df %>%
  summarize(avg_a = mean(a),
            .by = c(c, d))
