问题
Let\'s say I have the following data frame:
> myvec
name order_no
1 Amy 12
2 Jack 14
3 Jack 16
4 Dave 11
5 Amy 12
6 Jack 16
7 Tom 19
8 Larry 22
9 Tom 19
10 Dave 11
11 Jack 17
12 Tom 20
13 Amy 23
14 Jack 16
I want to count the number of distinct order_no values for each name. It should produce the following result:
name number_of_distinct_orders
Amy 2
Jack 3
Dave 1
Tom 2
Larry 1
How can I do that?
回答1:
This should do the trick:
ddply(myvec,~name,summarise,number_of_distinct_orders=length(unique(order_no)))
This requires package plyr.
回答2:
A data.table approach
library(data.table)
DT <- data.table(myvec)
DT[, .(number_of_distinct_orders = length(unique(order_no))), by = name]
data.table v >= 1.9.5 has a built in uniqueN function now
DT[, .(number_of_distinct_orders = uniqueN(order_no)), by = name]
回答3:
In dplyr you may use n_distinct to "count the number of unique values":
library(dplyr)
myvec %>%
group_by(name) %>%
summarise(n_distinct(order_no))
回答4:
This is a simple solution with the function aggregate:
aggregate(order_no ~ name, myvec, function(x) length(unique(x)))

Here is a benchmark of @David Arenburg's solution there as well as a recap of some solutions posted here (@mnel, @Sven Hohenstein, @Henrik):
library(dplyr)
library(data.table)
library(microbenchmark)
library(tidyr)
library(ggplot2)
df <- mtcars
DT <- as.data.table(df)
DT_32k <- rbindlist(replicate(1e3, mtcars, simplify = FALSE))
df_32k <- as.data.frame(DT_32k)
DT_32M <- rbindlist(replicate(1e6, mtcars, simplify = FALSE))
df_32M <- as.data.frame(DT_32M)
bench <- microbenchmark(
base_32 = aggregate(hp ~ cyl, df, function(x) length(unique(x))),
base_32k = aggregate(hp ~ cyl, df_32k, function(x) length(unique(x))),
base_32M = aggregate(hp ~ cyl, df_32M, function(x) length(unique(x))),
dplyr_32 = summarise(group_by(df, cyl), count = n_distinct(hp)),
dplyr_32k = summarise(group_by(df_32k, cyl), count = n_distinct(hp)),
dplyr_32M = summarise(group_by(df_32M, cyl), count = n_distinct(hp)),
data.table_32 = DT[, .(count = uniqueN(hp)), by = cyl],
data.table_32k = DT_32k[, .(count = uniqueN(hp)), by = cyl],
data.table_32M = DT_32M[, .(count = uniqueN(hp)), by = cyl],
times = 10
)

回答6:
You can just use the built-in R functions tapply with length
tapply(myvec$order_no, myvec$name, FUN = function(x) length(unique(x)))
回答7:
Here is a solution with sqldf
library("sqldf")
myvec <- read.table(header=TRUE, text=
" name order_no
1 Amy 12
2 Jack 14
3 Jack 16
4 Dave 11
5 Amy 12
6 Jack 16
7 Tom 19
8 Larry 22
9 Tom 19
10 Dave 11
11 Jack 17
12 Tom 20
13 Amy 23
14 Jack 16")
sqldf("SELECT name,COUNT(distinct(order_no)) as number_of_distinct_orders FROM myvec GROUP BY name")
# > sqldf("SELECT name,COUNT(distinct(order_no)) as number_of_distinct_orders FROM myvec GROUP BY name")
# name number_of_distinct_orders
# 1 Amy 2
# 2 Dave 1
# 3 Jack 3
# 4 Larry 1
# 5 Tom 2
回答8:
This would also work but is less eloquent than the plyr solution:
x <- sapply(split(myvec, myvec$name), function(x) length(unique(x[, 2])))
data.frame(names=names(x), number_of_distinct_orders=x, row.names = NULL)
回答9:
my.1 <- table(myvec)
my.1[my.1 != 0] <- 1
rowSums(my.1)
回答10:
Using table :
library(magrittr)
myvec %>% unique %>% '['(1) %>% table %>% as.data.frame %>%
setNames(c("name","number_of_distinct_orders"))
# name number_of_distinct_orders
# 1 Amy 2
# 2 Dave 1
# 3 Jack 3
# 4 Larry 1
# 5 Tom 2
