I want to convert this to a list like so:


oof-list(A = 3, B = 2, C = 1)


You can do it as a one-liner as well:

oof - setNames(as.list(foo$num), foo$name)


str(oof)

List of 3
  $ A: num 3
  $ B: num 2
  $ C: num 1


oof

$A
[1] 3

$B
[1] 2

$C
[1] 1

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

[R] Data frame to list

2011-07-28 Thread Jonathan Greenberg
I'm hoping this is an easy problem that I'm missing something obvious.  Given:

x=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3)
y=c(1:length(x))
dataframe=data.frame(x,y)

I would like to convert this to a list for use with certain functions,
where each entry of the list is a subsetted dataframe based on
dataframe$x

I can do this brute force by a for-next loop:

unique_x=unique(dataframe$x)
unique_x_N=length(unique_x)
dataframe_to_list=vector(mode=list,length=unique_x_N)
for(i in 1:unique_x_N)
{
dataframe_to_list[[i]]=subset(dataframe,x==unique_x[i])

}

My R-gut is telling me there's a much more efficient way of doing this
-- is it right?

[R] data frame from list of lists with unequal lengths

2009-07-20 Thread Ben Mazzotta
Hello,

I have a dataset with multiple entries in one field separated by /
characters. (The true dataset has long names, 20-odd variables, and
hundreds of observations.)


 v1 v2
1 A  L
2   A/B  M
3 C  N
4 D/E/F  O
5 A  P
6 C  L


What I would like is to have a dataset that looks like this instead:

 my.df
  v1 v2
1  A  L
2  A  M
3  B  M
4  C  N
5  D  O
6  E  O
7  F  O
8  A  P
9  C  L


My original thought was to break the string into variables using
strsplit(), create new columns in the data frame using cbind(), and then
reshape the dataset with the melt() function.

 v1.new - as.character(my.df$v1)
 v1.new - strsplit(v1.new, /)
 v1.new
[[1]]
[1] A

[[2]]
[1] A B

[[3]]
[1] C

[[4]]
[1] D E F

[[5]]
[1] A

[[6]]
[1] C

My next thought was to coerce the list into a data frame, but  I ran
into an error because the list output from strsplit() does not contain
equal length vectors.

 v1.cols - data.frame(v1.new, check.rows=FALSE)
Error in data.frame(A, c(A, B), C, c(D, E, F), A, C,  :
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 2, 3


How can I create a data frame from the unequal length vectors that
result from strsplit(my.df$v1)?

Am I going about this the wrong way? I have also tried to use
colsplit{reshape} without success.

Thank you for any advice you can offer. I hope the answer to this
question is not too obvious.

 v1.cols - data.frame(v1.new, check.rows=FALSE)
 Error in data.frame(A, c(A, B), C, c(D, E, F), A, C,  :
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 2, 3


 How can I create a data frame from the unequal length vectors that
 result from strsplit(my.df$v1)?

 Am I going about this the wrong way? I have also tried to use
 colsplit{reshape} without success.

 Thank you for any advice you can offer. I hope the answer to this
 question is not too obvious.

Re: [R] data frame from list of lists with unequal lengths

2009-07-20 Thread Henrique Dallazuanna
Try this:

r - strsplit(as.character(x$v1), /)
cbind(unlist(r), rep(x$v2, sapply(r, length)))

 Hello,

 I have a dataset with multiple entries in one field separated by /
 characters. (The true dataset has long names, 20-odd variables, and
 hundreds of observations.)


 v1 v2
 1 A  L
 2   A/B  M
 3 C  N
 4 D/E/F  O
 5 A  P
 6 C  L


 What I would like is to have a dataset that looks like this instead:

  my.df
  v1 v2
 1  A  L
 2  A  M
 3  B  M
 4  C  N
 5  D  O
 6  E  O
 7  F  O
 8  A  P
 9  C  L


 My original thought was to break the string into variables using
 strsplit(), create new columns in the data frame using cbind(), and then
 reshape the dataset with the melt() function.

  v1.new - as.character(my.df$v1)
  v1.new - strsplit(v1.new, /)
  v1.new
 [[1]]
 [1] A

 [[2]]
 [1] A B

 [[3]]
 [1] C

 [[4]]
 [1] D E F

 [[5]]
 [1] A

 [[6]]
 [1] C

 My next thought was to coerce the list into a data frame, but  I ran
 into an error because the list output from strsplit() does not contain
 equal length vectors.

  v1.cols - data.frame(v1.new, check.rows=FALSE)
 Error in data.frame(A, c(A, B), C, c(D, E, F), A, C,  :
  arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 2, 3
