R语言中aggregate函数

NVEFLY 2019-10-31

前言

这个函数的功能比较强大,它首先将数据进行分组(按行),然后对每一组数据进行函数统计,最后把结果组合成一个比较nice的表格返回。根据数据对象不同它有三种用法,分别应用于数据框(data.frame)、公式(formula)和时间序列(ts):

aggregate(x, by, FUN, ..., simplify = TRUE)
    aggregate(formula, data, FUN, ..., subset, na.action = na.omit)
    aggregate(x, nfrequency = 1, FUN = sum, ndeltat = 1, ts.eps = getOption("ts.eps"), ...)

语法

aggregate(x, ...)
     
    ## S3 method for class ‘default‘:
    aggregate((x, ...))
    
    ## S3 method for class ‘data.frame‘:
    aggregate((x, by, FUN, ..., simplify = 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"), ...))

Example1

我们通过 mtcars 数据集的操作对这个函数进行简单了解。mtcars 是不同类型汽车道路测试的数据框类型数据:

> str(mtcars)
    ‘data.frame‘: 32 obs. of 11 variables:
    $ mpg : num 21 21 22.8 21.4 18.7 18.1 14.3 24.4 22.8 19.2 ...
    $ cyl : num 6 6 4 6 8 6 8 4 4 6 ...
    $ disp: num 160 160 108 258 360 ...
    $ hp : num 110 110 93 110 175 105 245 62 95 123 ...
    $ drat: num 3.9 3.9 3.85 3.08 3.15 2.76 3.21 3.69 3.92 3.92 ...
    $ wt : num 2.62 2.88 2.32 3.21 3.44 ...
    $ qsec: num 16.5 17 18.6 19.4 17 ...
    $ vs : num 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 ...
    $ am : num 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
    $ gear: num 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 ...
    $ carb: num 4 4 1 1 2 1 4 2 2 4 ...

先用attach函数把mtcars的列变量名称加入到变量搜索范围内,然后使用aggregate函数按cyl(汽缸数)进行分类计算平均值:

> attach(mtcars)
    > aggregate(mtcars, by=list(cyl), FUN=mean)
    Group.1 mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
    1 4 26.66364 4 105.1364 82.63636 4.070909 2.285727 19.13727 0.9090909 0.7272727 4.090909 1.545455
    2 6 19.74286 6 183.3143 122.28571 3.585714 3.117143 17.97714 0.5714286 0.4285714 3.857143 3.428571
    3 8 15.10000 8 353.1000 209.21429 3.229286 3.999214 16.77214 0.0000000 0.1428571 3.285714 3.500000

by参数也可以包含多个类型的因子,得到的就是每个不同因子组合的统计结果:

> aggregate(mtcars, by=list(cyl, gear), FUN=mean)
    
    Group.1 Group.2 mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
3 21.500 4 120.1000 97.0000 3.700000 2.465000 20.0100 1.0 0.00 3 1.000000

公式(formula)是一种特殊的R数据对象,在aggregate函数中使用公式参数可以对数据框的部分指标进行统计:

> aggregate(cbind(mpg,hp) ~ cyl+gear, FUN=mean)
    cyl gear mpg hp
3 21.500 97.0000
3 19.750 107.5000
3 15.050 194.1667
4 26.925 76.0000
4 19.750 116.5000
5 28.200 102.0000
5 19.700 175.0000
5 15.400 299.5000

上面的公式 cbind(mpg,hp) ~ cyl+gear 表示使用 cyl 和 gear 的因子组合对 cbind(mpg,hp) 数据进行操作。aggregate在时间序列数据上的应用请参考R的函数说明文档。

## 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

The aggregate function is more difficult to use, but it is included in the base R installation and does not require the installation of another package.

# Get a count of number of subjects in each category (sex*condition)
    cdata <- aggregate(data["subject"], by=data[c("sex","condition")], FUN=length)
    cdata
    #>   sex condition subject
    #> 1   F   aspirin       5
    #> 2   M   aspirin       9
    #> 3   F   placebo      12
    #> 4   M   placebo       4
    
    # Rename "subject" column to "N"

If you have NA’s in your data and wish to skip them, use na.rm=TRUE:

cdata.means <- aggregate(data[c("before","after","change")], 
                             by = data[c("sex","condition")],
                             FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE)
    cdata.means
    #>   sex condition   before     after    change
    #> 1   F   aspirin 11.06000  7.640000 -3.420000
    #> 2   M   aspirin 11.26667  5.855556 -5.411111
    #> 3   F   placebo 10.13333  8.075000 -2.058333
    #> 4   M   placebo 11.47500 10.500000 -0.975000
