Generating an edge list from ID and grouping vectors

问题

I have a data frame of 205,000+ rows formatted as follows:

df <- data.frame(project.id = c('SP001', 'SP001', 'SP001', 'SP017', 'SP018', 'SP017'),
                 supplier.id = c('1224', '5542', '7741', '1224', '2020', '9122'))

In the actual data frame there are 6700+ unique values of project.id. I would like to create an edge list that pairs suppliers who have worked on the same project.

Desired end result for project.id = SP001:

to     from
1224   5542
1224   7741
5542   7741

So far I've tried using split to create a list by project.id and then running lapply+combn to generate all possible combinations of supplier.id within each list/group:

try.list <- split(df, df$project.id)
try.output <- lapply(try.list, function(x) combn(x$supplier.id, 2))

Is there a more elegant/efficient (read "computed in less than 2hrs") way to generate something like this?

Any help would be much appreciated

Instead of using split and lapply, you can use the dplyr package.

df <- data.frame(project.id = c('SP001', 'SP001', 'SP001', 'SP017', 'SP018', 'SP017'),
                 supplier.id = c('1224', '5542', '7741', '1224', '2020', '9122'),
                 stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

library(dplyr)

df %>% group_by(project.id) %>%
  filter(n()>=2) %>% group_by(project.id) %>%
 do(data.frame(t(combn(.$supplier.id, 2)), stringsAsFactors=FALSE))
# Source: local data frame [4 x 3]
# Groups: project.id [2]

#   project.id    X1    X2
#        (chr) (chr) (chr)
# 1      SP001  1224  5542
# 2      SP001  1224  7741
# 3      SP001  5542  7741
# 4      SP017  1224  9122

You can just merge it with itself which gets you all the Cartesian pairs:

 temp <- merge(df,df, by="project.id")
 res <- temp[ temp$supplier.id.x != temp$supplier.id.y , ]

> res

   project.id supplier.id.x supplier.id.y
2       SP001          1224          5542
3       SP001          1224          7741
4       SP001          5542          1224
6       SP001          5542          7741
7       SP001          7741          1224
8       SP001          7741          5542
11      SP017          1224          9122
12      SP017          9122          1224

We can try with igraph

library(igraph)
m1 <- get.edgelist(graph.adjacency(crossprod(table(df))))
m1[m1[,1]!= m1[,2],]
#      [,1]   [,2]  
#[1,] "1224" "5542"
#[2,] "1224" "7741"
#[3,] "1224" "9122"
#[4,] "5542" "1224"
#[5,] "5542" "7741"
#[6,] "7741" "1224"
#[7,] "7741" "5542"
#[8,] "9122" "1224"
