Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Hello,
I believe that the point we are missing is that datatable$column stores
the *names* of the graphs, not the graph objects themselves. So in the
loop the objects must be retrieved with mget() or get().
First create a reproducible example.
library(tidygraph)
my_function <- function(g){
stopifnot(inherits(g, "igraph"))
g %>% mutate(centrality = centrality_pagerank())
}
MYSUBNET1 <- create_notable('bull')
iris_clust <- hclust(dist(iris[1:4]))
MYSUBNET2 <- as_tbl_graph(iris_clust)
MYSUBNET3 <- play_smallworld(1, 100, 3, 0.05)
datatable <- data.frame(column = paste0("MYSUBNET", 1:3))
Now apply the function above to each of the "tbl_graph" objects.
1. Get all objects and apply the function in one instruction. Then
assign the new names.
result <- lapply(mget(datatable$column, envir = .GlobalEnv), my_function)
names(result) <- paste("subnet", datatable$column, sep = "_")
2. Loop through the column with lapply, getting one object and applying
the function one at a time. Then assign the new names.
result2 <- lapply(datatable$column, function(net_name){
NET <- get(net_name, envir = .GlobalEnv)
my_function(NET)
})
names(result2) <- paste("subnet", datatable$column, sep = "_")
3. Loop through the column with a for loop, getting one object and
applying the function one at a time. Then assign the new names.
result3 <- vector("list", length = nrow(datatable))
for(i in seq_along(datatable$column)){
net_name <- datatable$column[i]
NET <- get(net_name, envir = .GlobalEnv)
result3[[i]] <- my_function(NET)
}
names(result3) <- paste("subnet", datatable$column, sep = "_")
4. Now check that all 3 solutions give the same result.
identical(result, result2)
#[1] TRUE
identical(result, result3)
#[1] TRUE
Is this it?

For this reason I thought it would be nice to have the single tbl_ graph
objects stored in variables having the name of the graph.
For this reason I tried to find a better solution instead of assigning each
graph by hand:
subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(MYSUBNET)
To my understanding it is therefore neccessary to assign the result of the
function to a variable whose name consists of a fixed string and the content of
a further variable.
That was the intention for me to ask.

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
I freely admit that I do not understand what you mean. But it sounds like
you are trying to make things more complicated than necessary.
Perhaps this little example may help clarify the issues:
> a <- 1; b <- 2; d <- c(3,5)
> stuff <- lapply(list(a,b,d),function(x)x^2)
> stuff
[[1]]
[1] 1
[[2]]
[1] 4
[[3]]
[1] 9 25
> stuff[[3]]
[1] 9 25
Note that one may apply (almost) any function that returns objects (and
doesn't have nasty side effects, I suppose), including graphical objects,
and store them in the list that is returned. These objects can then be
accessed as usual and manipulated/displayed/assigned ... whatever.
If this misunderstands your query and is irrelevant, do not bother to
explain. Or reply. Won't be the first time I did not get it.
If OTOH this is a complete mystery to you, then you need to spend some time
learning about R lists and how. to use them.
Cheers,
Bert

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
As I wrote before, I calculate tbl_graph objects, which will be joined
afterwards. Not too much, the number of graphs to calculate is in the range
between 5 to 20.
Further steps are not automated, because they depend on how the single graphs
look like, and which of them will be joined.

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
David,
I don't think that this is the case.
When I do the calculation like this
subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(MYSUBNET),
i.e. assigning a variable by hand to each function result, all is fine.

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Folks,
first of all - thanks a lot for your hints!
I will try each again and think about, why I get error messages.
But to resume: if I understand you right:
there is no way to do something like this:
$name = $result?
Regards
Wolfgang

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Hello,
my_function seems to be a function you have defined somewhere in your code.
In your original post you mention it 3 times, this is the first one:
subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(MYSUBNET)
So Ivan's and Greg's code should work, they use a function you haven't
posted but is assumed to exist.
Note: if you are more comfortable with for loops than with *apply, I
would rewrite Ivan's for loop solution as
results <- vector("list", length = nrow(datatable))
for(val in datatable$column) {
results[[as.character(val)]] <- my_function(val)
}
To keep extending a vector or list object in a loop is inefficient, this
creates the list with the right length beforehand.
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Ivan,
same situation when I try your list() solution:
Error in eval ... : object 'function' not found ( I think anything about
my_function is meant).

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Dear Ivan,
when I try your solution with lapply as below I get the following error message:
Error in eval ... : object 'function' not found ( I think anything about
my_function is meant).

Apologies if this sounds too opinionated, but creating variable names
from variable values is a FAQ in a different dynamic language:
https://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq7#How-can-I-use-a-variable-as-a-variable-name?
Most of the explanation doesn't apply to R, of course, but the main
idea here is to use data structures instead of causing (potential,
unlikely, but still) conflicts in the variable namespace. What if you
create a list of function values instead of just a bunch of variables?
results <- list()
for(i in 1:nrow(datatable)) {
val <- datatable$column[i]
results[[as.character(val)]] <- my_function(val)
}
Or even
results <- lapply(setNames(nm = datatable$column), my_function)
Wouldn't that be more convenient?

Wolfgang,

i don't understand why you are twice assigning to =result=. also, the
first assignment doesn't seem well formatted (t's missing a value?).
did you mean something like
: assign(paste("subnet_", val, sep = ""), my_function(val))
(which i would think should work)?
cheers, Greg

Re: [R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Hi
I may be wrong but
> result <- assign(paste("subnet_", val, sep = "")
here you miss the right parentheses
maybe you intended
assign(result, paste("subnet_", val, sep = ""))
> result <- my_function(val)
but here you change (rewrite) the result variable to my_function result
So your overall cycle gives you only one result variable containing last value
computed by my_function.
Cheers
Petr

[R] Assigning several lists to variables whose names are contained in other variables
Dear all,
I'm creating a list (which is a tbl_graph) by a function, and assign the
result to a variable:
subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(MYSUBNET)
# MYSUBNET: a tbl_graph
Because there are multiple subnets to create, I can get the names of the
subnets (MYSUBNET1, MYSUBNET2, MYSUBNET3, etc.) from a row in a
dataframe column.
subnet_MYSUBNET <- my_function(datatable$column[i])
Because I know how many subnets to create - nrow(dataframe) I want to
assign the subnets to variables whose names contain the name of the subnet
For this to work I have to assign a variable name which is contained in
an other variable name:
#
for(i in 1:nrow(datatable)) {
val <- datatable$column[i]
result <- assign(paste("subnet_", val, sep = "")
result <- my_function(val)
}
this works in bash, but seems not to work in R - I don't succeed at least.
Am I wrong?
Where is my mistake?
Many thanks in advance for any hint.
Wolfgang
