  • It can read multiple sheets (27 sheets) at a time and merge them by rows.
  • case_when(): A general vectorised if. This function allows you to vectorise multiple if_else() statements. How to use the R case_when function.

Time series data

Calculating change from baseline

group_by() + mutate() + ungroup(). We can accomplish the task by using split() + lapply() + do.call(). 

trial_data_chg <- trial_data %>%
  arrange(USUBJID, AVISITN) %>%
  group_by(USUBJID) %>%
  mutate(CHG = AVAL - AVAL[1L]) %>%
  ungroup()

# If the baseline is missing
trial_data_chg2 <- trial_data %>%
  group_by(USUBJID) %>%
  mutate(
    CHG = if (any(AVISIT == "Baseline")) AVAL - AVAL[AVISIT == "Baseline"] else NA
  ) %>%
  ungroup()

Ten Tremendous Tricks in the Tidyverse

https://youtu.be/NDHSBUN_rVU (video).

  • count(),
  • add_count(),
  • summarize() w/ a list column,
  • fct_reorder() + geom_col() + coord_flip(),
  • fct_lump(),
  • scale_x/y_log10(),
  • crossing(),
  • separate(),
  • extract().

Gapminder dataset

Hands-on R and dplyr – Analyzing the Gapminder Dataset

Install on Ubuntu

sudo apt install r-cran-tidyverse

# Ubuntu >= 18.04. However, I get unmet dependencies errors on R 3.5.3.
# r-cran-curl : Depends: r-api-3.4
sudo apt-get install r-cran-curl r-cran-openssl r-cran-xml2

# Works fine on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev

80 R packages will be installed after tidyverse has been installed.

For RStudio server docker version (Debian 10), I also need to install zlib1g-dev

Install on Raspberry Pi/(ARM based) Chromebook

In additional to the requirements of installing on Ubuntu, I got an error when it is installing a dependent package fs: undefined symbol: pthread_atfork. The fs package version is 1.2.6. The solution is to add one line in fs/src/Makevars file and then install the "fs" package using the source on the local machine.

5 most useful data manipulation functions

  • subset() for making subsets of data (natch)
  • merge() for combining data sets in a smart and easy way
  • melt()-reshape2 package for converting from wide to long data formats. See an example here where we want to combine multiple columns of values into 1 column. melt() is replaced by gather().
  • dcast()-reshape2 package for converting from long to wide data formats (or just use tapply()), and for making summary tables
  • ddply()-plyr package for doing split-apply-combine operations, which covers a huge swath of the most tricky data operations

Miscellaneous examples using tibble or dplyr packages

Print all columns or rows

?print.tbl_df

  • print(x, width = Inf) # all columns
  • print(x, n = Inf) # all rows

Move a column to rownames

?tibble::column_to_rownames 

# It assumes the input data frame has no row names; otherwise we will get
# Error: `df` must be a data frame without row names in `column_to_rownames()`
# 
tibble::column_to_rownames(data.frame(x=letters[1:5], y = rnorm(5)), "x")

Move rownames to a variable: rownames_to_column()

https://tibble.tidyverse.org/reference/rownames.html. The input object must be a data frame. 

tibble::rownames_to_column(trees, "newVar")
# Still a data frame

Old way add_rownames() 

data.frame(x=1:5, y=2:6) %>% magrittr::set_rownames(letters[1:5]) %>% add_rownames("newvar")
# tibble object

Remove rows or columns only containing NAs

Surgically removing specific rows or columns that only contains `NA`s 

library(dplyr)
df <- tibble(x = c(NA, NA, NA),
             y = c(2, 3, NA),
             z = c(NA, 5, NA) )

# removing columns where all elements are NA
df %>% select(where(~ !all(is.na(.x))))

# removing rows where all elements are NA
df %>% filter(if_any(.fns = ~ !is.na(.x)))

Rename variables

dplyr::rename(os, newName = oldName)

Drop/remove a variable/column

select(df, -x) # 'x' is the name of the variable

Drop a level

group_by() has a .drop argument so you can also group by factor levels that don't appear in the data. See this example.

Remove rownames

tibble has_rownames(), rownames_to_column(), column_to_rownames() 

has_rownames(mtcars)
#> [1] TRUE

# Remove row names
remove_rownames(mtcars) %>% has_rownames()
#> [1] FALSE

> tibble::has_rownames(trees)
[1] FALSE
> rownames(trees)
 [1] "1"  "2"  "3"  "4"  "5"  "6"  "7"  "8"  "9"  "10" "11" "12" "13" "14" "15"
[16] "16" "17" "18" "19" "20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25" "26" "27" "28" "29" "30"
[31] "31"
> rownames(trees) <- NULL
> rownames(trees)
 [1] "1"  "2"  "3"  "4"  "5"  "6"  "7"  "8"  "9"  "10" "11" "12" "13" "14" "15"
[16] "16" "17" "18" "19" "20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25" "26" "27" "28" "29" "30"
[31] "31"

relocate: change column order

relocate() 

# Move Petal.Width column to appear next to Sepal.Width
iris %>% relocate(Petal.Width, .after = Sepal.Width) %>% head() 

# Move Petal.Width to the last column
iris %>% relocate(Petal.Width, .after = last_col()) %>% head()

pull: extract a single column

x <- iris %>% filter(Species == 'setosa') %>% select(Sepal.Length) %>% pull()
# x <- iris %>% filter(Species == 'setosa') %>% pull(Sepal.Length)
# x <- iris %>% filter(Species == 'setosa') %>% .$Sepal.Length
y <- iris %>% filter(Species == 'virginica') %>% select(Sepal.Length) %>% pull()
t.test(x, y)

Convert Multiple Columns to Numeric

Convert Multiple Columns to Numeric in R. mutate_at(), mutate_if()

select(): extract multiple columns

select(): drop columns

slice(): select rows by index

?slice 

mtcars %>% slice_max(mpg, n = 1)
#                 mpg cyl disp hp drat    wt qsec vs am gear carb
# Toyota Corolla 33.9   4 71.1 65 4.22 1.835 19.9  1  1    4    1

mtcars %>% slice(which.max(mpg))
#                 mpg cyl disp hp drat    wt qsec vs am gear carb
# Toyota Corolla 33.9   4 71.1 65 4.22 1.835 19.9  1  1    4    1

Reorder columns

reorder()

iris %>% ggplot(aes(x=Species, y = Sepal.Width)) + 
         geom_boxplot() +
         xlab=("Species")

# reorder the boxplot based on the Species' median
iris %>% ggplot(aes(x=reorder(Species, Sepal.Width, FUN = median),
                    y=Sepal.Width)) + 
         geom_boxplot() +

Transformation on multiple columns

  • How to apply a transformation to multiple columns in R?
    • df %>% mutate(across(c(col1, col2), function(x) x*2))
    • df %>% summarise(across(c(col1, col2), mean, na.rm=TRUE))
  • select() vs across()
    • the across() and select() functions are both used to manipulate columns in a data frame
    • The select() function is used to select columns from a data frame.
    • The across() function is used to apply a function to multiple columns in a data frame. It’s often used inside other functions like mutate() or summarize().
data.frame(
  x = c(1, 2, 3),
  y = c(4, 5, 6)
) %>% 
mutate(across(everything(), ~ .x * 2)) # purrr-style lambda

Reading and writing data

Speeding up Reading and Writing in R

data.table

Fast aggregation of large data (e.g. 100GB in RAM or just several GB size file), fast ordered joins, fast add/modify/delete of columns by group using no copies at all, list columns and a fast file reader (fread).

Note: data.table has its own ways (cf base R and dplyr) to subset columns.

Some resources:

OpenMP enabled compiler for Mac. This instruction works on my Mac El Capitan (10.11.6) when I need to upgrade the data.table version from 1.11.4 to 1.11.6.

dim(pew) # 18 x 10,  (religion, '<$10k', '$10--20k', '$20--30k', ..., '>150k') 
pewt <- gather(data = pew, key = Income, value = Count, -religion)
dim(pew) # 162 x 3,  (religion, Income, Count)

args(gather)
# function(data, key, value, ..., na.rm = FALSE, convert = FALSE, factor_key = FALSE)

where the three arguments of gather() requires:

  • data: a data frame in which column names will become row values. If the data is a matrix, use %>% as.data.frame() beforehand.
  • key: the name of the categorical variable into which the column names in the original datasets are converted.
  • value: the name of cell value columns

In this example, the 'religion' column will not be included (-religion).

dplyr, plyr packages

  • plyr package suffered from being slow in some cases. dplyr addresses this by porting much of the computation to C++. Another additional feature is the ability to work with data stored directly in an external database. The benefits of doing this are the data can be managed natively in a relational database, queries can be conducted on that database, and only the results of query returned.
  • It's amazing the things one can do in base R (without installing or loading any other #rstats packages)
  • Essential functions: 3 rows functions, 3 column functions and 1 mixed function.
           select, mutate, rename, recode
            +------------------+
filter      +                  +
arrange     +                  +
group_by    +                  +
drop_na     +                  +
ungroup     + summarise        +
            +------------------+
  • These functions works on data frames and tibble objects. Note stats package also has a filter() function for time series data. If we have not loaded the dplyr package, the filter() function below will give an error (count() also is from dplyr).
iris %>% filter(Species == "setosa") %>% count()
head(iris %>% filter(Species == "setosa") %>% arrange(Sepal.Length))
  • dplyr tutorial from PH525x series (Biomedical Data Science by Rafael Irizarry and Michael Love). For select() function, some additional options to select columns based on a specific criteria include
    • starts_with()/ ends_with() = Select columns that start/end with a character string
    • contains() = Select columns that contain a character string
    • matches() = Select columns that match a regular expression
    • one_of() = Select columns names that are from a group of names
  • Data Transformation in the book R for Data Science. Five key functions in the dplyr package:

filter(flights, arr_delay <= 120, dep_delay <= 120)
df <- tibble(x = c(1, NA, 3))
filter(df, x > 1)
filter(df, is.na(x) | x > 1)

# arrange

select() for columns

Select columns from a data frame 

select(my_data_frame, column_one, column_two, ...)
select(my_data_frame, new_column_name = current_column, ...)
select(my_data_frame, column_start:column_end)
select(my_data_frame, index_one, index_two, ...)
select(my_data_frame, index_start:index_end)

select() + everything()

If we want one particular column (say the dependent variable y) to appear first or last in the dataset. We can use the everything(). 

iris %>% select(Species, everything()) %>% head()
iris %>% select(-Species, everything()) %>% head() # put Species to the last col

.$Name

Extract a column using piping. The . represents the data frame that is being piped in, and $Name extracts the ‘Name’ column. 

mtcars %>% .$mpg  # A vector

mtcars %>% select(mpg) # A list

filter() for rows

mtcars %>% filter(mpg>10)

identical(mtcars %>% filter(mpg>10), subset(mtcars, mpg>10))
# [1] TRUE

filter by date

What Is the Best Way to Filter by Date in R?

filter by str_starts()

Suppose we want to filter rows based on whether the values in the gene symbol column start with the letter "I". 

# Assuming df is your data frame
filtered_df <- df %>%
  filter(str_starts(`gene symbol`, "I"))

arrange (reorder)

  • Arrange values by a Single Variable: 
    # Create a sample data frame
students <- data.frame(
  Name = c("Ali", "Boby", "Charlie", "Davdas"),
  Score = c(85, 92, 78, 95)
)

# Arrange by Score in ascending order
arrange(students, Score)
#      Name Score
# 1 Charlie    78
# 2     Ali    85
# 3    Boby    92
# 4  Davdas    95
  • Arrange values by Multiple Variables: This is like the "sort" function in Excel. 
    # Create a sample data frame
transactions <- data.frame(
  Date = c("2024-04-01", "2024-04-01", "2024-04-02", "2024-04-03"),
  Amount = c(100, 150, 200, 75)
)

# Arrange by Date in ascending order, then by Amount in descending order
arrange(transactions, Date, desc(Amount))
#         Date Amount
# 1 2024-04-01    150
# 2 2024-04-01    100
# 3 2024-04-02    200
# 4 2024-04-03     75
  • Arrange values with Missing Values: 
    # Create a sample data frame with missing values
data <- data.frame(
  ID = c(1, 2, NA, 4),
  Value = c(20, NA, 15, 30)
)

# Arrange by Value in ascending order, placing missing values first
arrange(data, desc(is.na(Value)), Value)
#   ID Value
# 1  2    NA
# 2 NA    15
# 3  1    20
# 4  4    30

group_by()

  • ?group_by and ungroup(),
  • Grouped data
  • Is ungroup() recommended after every group_by()? Always ungroup() when you’ve finished with your calculations. See here or this.
  • You might want to use ungroup() if you want to perform further calculations or manipulations on the data that don’t depend on the grouping. For example, after ungrouping the data, you could add new columns or filter rows without being restricted by the grouping.
                  +-- filter() (+ ungroup() )
x -- group_by() --|-- mutate() (+ ungroup() )
                  +-- summarise() # reduce the dimension, no way to get back

Subset rows by group

Subset rows based on their integer locations-slice in R

group_by() + filter()

Suppose df is a data frame with a continuous variable numeric_var and a categorical variable group_var.

  • Remove rows where the count by the categorical variable y is less than 3: 
    df <- data.frame(
  group_var = c('A', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'B'),
  numeric_var = c(10, 20, 5, 15, 25)
)
df_filtered <- df %>%
               group_by(group_var) %>%
               filter(n() >= 3) %>%
               ungroup()
# A tibble: 3 × 2
#   group_var numeric_var
#   <chr>           <dbl>
# 1 B                   5
# 2 B                  15
# 3 B                  25
  • Keep rows where the numeric variable is the maximum within each group level 
    df %>% group_by(group_var) %>%
   filter(numeric_var == max(numeric_var))
#  group_var numeric_var
#   <chr>           <dbl>
# 1 A                  20
# 2 B                  25

group_by() + mutate()

How to Rank by Group in R? No change on the number of rows. 

df %>% arrange(team, points) %>%
    group_by(team) %>%
    mutate(rank = rank(points))

Add new variables or transforms existing ones within each group. No change on the number of rows.

  mutate(new_var = mean(numeric_var)

group_by() + summarise(), arrange(desc())

Function in summarise()

  • group_by(var1) %>% summarise(varY = mean(var2)) %>% ggplot(aes(x = varX, y = varY, fill = varF)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") + theme_classic()
  • summarise(newvar = sum(var1) / sum(var2))
  • arrange(desc(var1, var2))
  • Distinct number of observation: n_distinct()
  • Count the number of rows: n()
  • nth observation of the group: nth()
  • First observation of the group: first()
  • Last observation of the group: last()

group_by() + summarise() + across()

group_by() + nest(), mutate(, map()), unnest(), list-columns

nest(data=) is a function in the tidyr package in R that allows you to create nested data frames, where one column contains another data frame or list. This is useful when you want to perform analysis or visualization on each group separately. PS: it seems group_by() is not needed. 

histogram <- gss_cat |> 
  nest(data = -marital) |>  # OR nest(.by = marital). 6x2 tibble. Col1=marital, col2=data.
  mutate(
    histogram = pmap(

mutate vs tapply

Base-R is alive and well

mutate + replace() or ifelse()

Hash table

  • Create new column based on 4 values in another column. The trick is to create a named vector; like a Dictionary in Python. Here is my example: 
    hashtable <- data.frame(value=1:4, key=c("B", "C", "A", "D"))
input <- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "B", "B", "A", "A") # input to be matched with keys, 
                                                   # this could be very long
# Trick: convert the hash table into a named vector
htb <- hashtable$value; names(htb) <- hashtable$key

# return the values according to the names
out <- htb[input]; out
A B C D B B A A
3 1 2 4 1 1 3 3

    We can implement using Python by creating a variable of dictionary type/structure. 

    hashtable = {'B': 1, 'C': 2, 'A': 3, 'D': 4}
input = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'A']
out = [hashtable[key] for key in input]

    Or using C 

    #include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int hashtable[4] = {3, 1, 2, 4};
    char input[] = {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'A'};
    int out[sizeof(input)/sizeof(input[0])];

    for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(input)/sizeof(input[0]); i++) {
        out[i] = hashtable[input[i] - 'A'];
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(out)/sizeof(out[0]); i++) {
        printf("%d ", out[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");

    return 0;
}

    # %T>% works like %>% except that it returns the lefthand side (rnorm(100) %>% matrix(ncol = 2))  
    # instead of the righthand side.

# If a function does not have a data frame based api, you can use %$%.
# It explodes out the variables in a data frame.
mtcars %$% cor(disp, mpg) 

# For assignment, magrittr provides the %<>% operator
mtcars <- mtcars %>% transform(cyl = cyl * 2) # can be simplified by
mtcars %<>% transform(cyl = cyl * 2)

Upsides of using magrittr: no need to create intermediate objects, code is easy to read.

When not to use the pipe

  • your pipes are longer than (say) 10 steps
  • you have multiple inputs or outputs
  • Functions that use the current environment: assign(), get(), load()
  • Functions that use lazy evaluation: tryCatch(), try()

Dollar sign .$

%$%

Expose the names in lhs to the rhs expression. This is useful when functions do not have a built-in data argument. 

lhs %$% rhs
# lhs:	A list, environment, or a data.frame.
# rhs: An expression where the names in lhs is available.

# Example 1
iris %>%
  subset(Sepal.Length > mean(Sepal.Length)) %$%
  cor(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)

# Example 2
survival_object = melanoma %$%

While there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the base R apply functions, the syntax is somewhat inconsistent across the different apply functions, and the expected type of the object they return is often ambiguous (at least it is for sapply…). See Learn to purrr.

  • What does the tilde mean in this context of R code, What is meaning of first tilde in purrr::map
  • Getting started with the purrr package in R, especially the map() and map_df() functions. 
    library(purrr)
# map() is a replacement of lapply()
# lapply(dat, function(x) mean(x$Open))
map(dat, function(x)mean(x$Open))  

# map allows us to bypass the function function. 
# Using a tilda (~) in place of function and a dot (.) in place of x
map(dat, ~mean(.$Open))

# map allows you to specify the structure of your output.
map_dbl(dat, ~mean(.$Open))

# map2() is a replacement of mapply()
# mapply(function(x,y)plot(x$Close, type = "l", main = y), x = dat, y = stocks)
map2(dat, stocks, ~plot(.x$Close, type="l", main = .y))
data <- map(paths, read.csv)
data <- map_dfr(paths, read.csv, id = "path")

out1 <- mtcars %>% map_dbl(mean, na.rm = TRUE)
out2 <- mtcars %>% map_dbl(median, na.rm = TRUE)

map() and map_dbl()

tilde

  • The lambda syntax and tilde notation provided by purrr allow you to write concise and readable anonymous functions in R.
x <- 1:3
map_dbl(x, ~ .x^2)  # [1] 1 4 9
The notation ~ .x^2 is equivalent to writing function(.x) .x^2 or function(z) z^2 or \(y) y^2
x <- list(a = 1:3, b = 4:6)
y <- list(a = 10, b = 100)
map2_dbl(x, y, ~ sum(.x * .y))
#   a    b 
#  60 1500

.x symbol

  • It is used with functions like purrr::map. In the context of an anonymous function, .x is a placeholder for the first argument of the function.
    • For a single argument function, you can use .. For example, ~ . + 2 is equivalent to function(.) {. + 2}.
    • For a two argument function, you can use .x and .y. For example, ~ .x + .y is equivalent to function(.x, .y) {.x + .y}.
    • For more arguments, you can use ..1, ..2, ..3, etc
    # Create a vector
vec <- c(1, 2, 3)

# Use purrr::map with an anonymous function
result <- purrr::map(vec, ~ .x * 2)

# Print the result
print(result)

negate()

How to select non-numeric columns using dplyr::select_if 

library(tidyverse)
iris %>% select_if(negate(is.numeric))

pmap()

?pmap - Map over multiple input simultaneously (in "parallel") 

# Create two lists with multiple elements
list1 <- list(1, 2, 3)
list2 <- list(10, 20, 30)

# Define a function to add the elements of each list
my_func <- function(x, y) {
  x + y
}

# Use pmap to apply the function to each element of the lists in parallel
result <- pmap(list(list1, list2), my_func); result

A more practical example when we want to run analysis or visualization on each element of some group/class variable. nest() + pmap(). 

# Create a data frame
df <- mpg %>% 
  filter(manufacturer %in% c("audi", "volkswagen")) %>% 
  select(manufacturer, year, cty)

# Nest the data by manufacturer
df_nested <- df %>% 
  nest(data = -manufacturer)

# Create a function that takes a data frame and creates a ggplot object
my_plot_func <- function(data, manuf) {
     ggplot(data, aes(x = year, y = cty)) +
         geom_point() +
         ggtitle(manuf)
 }

# Use pmap to apply the function to each element of the list-column in df_nested
df_nested_plot <- df_nested %>% 
     mutate(plot = pmap(list(data, manufacturer), my_plot_func))

df_nested_plot[[1]]

Another example: fitting regressions for data in each group 

library(tidyverse)

# create example data
data <- tibble(
  x = rnorm(100),
  y = rnorm(100),
  group = sample(c("A", "B", "C"), 100, replace = TRUE)
)

# create a nested dataframe
nested_data <- data %>% 
  nest(data = -group)

# define a function that runs linear regression on each dataset
lm_func <- function(data) {
  lm(y ~ x, data = data)
}

# apply lm_func() to each row of the nested dataframe
results <- nested_data %>% 
  mutate(model = pmap(list(data), lm_func))
