如何循环遍历参数值，运行函数，并保存结果

Question

我将模拟写入一个函数，这样我就可以手动设置参数值，然后运行使用这些参数值进行多次模拟。为了查看不同的设置如何影响我的模拟结果，我一直在手动更改参数值、运行模拟并保存输出。我反复这样做并将 analysis/visualisation 的输出数据绑定在一起，但如果我可以自动执行此过程会方便得多。

如何遍历参数值，运行模拟，并将所有结果保存在一个数据帧中？

我的代码感觉如下：

#### load libraries ####

library(plyr)
library(igraph)

#### set parameters N and StDv ####

N <- 10 

StDv <- 0.1

#### my model to be simulated, written as a function ####
myModel <- function(){

  #generate small world network, netSim, for the agents
  netSim <- sample_smallworld(dim = 1, nei = 1, size = N, p = 0.1) 

  #retrieve an adjacency matrix from net
  adjMatrix <- as.matrix(as_adjacency_matrix(netSim, names = TRUE, edges = FALSE)) 

  #create dataframe with numbered agents and assigned prior  
  data <- data.frame("agent" = c(1:N),
                     "t0" = rnorm(N, mean = 0.5, sd = StDv))

  #simulate communication and in the network for 5 rounds

  #round 1
  data$t1 <- with(data, ifelse(rowSums(adjMatrix) > 0,  
                               0.75 * t0 + (1-0.75) * (adjMatrix %*% t0 / rowSums(adjMatrix)), 
                               t0)) 

  #round 2
  data$t2 <- with(data, ifelse(rowSums(adjMatrix) > 0,  
                               0.75 * t1 + (1-0.75) * (adjMatrix %*% t1 / rowSums(adjMatrix)), 
                               t1)) 

  #round 3
  data$t3 <- with(data, ifelse(rowSums(adjMatrix) > 0,  
                               0.75 * t2 + (1-0.75) * (adjMatrix %*% t2 / rowSums(adjMatrix)), 
                               t2)) 

  #round 4
  data$t4 <- with(data, ifelse(rowSums(adjMatrix) > 0, 
                               0.75 * t3 + (1-0.75) * (adjMatrix %*% t3 / rowSums(adjMatrix)), 
                               t3)) 

  #round 5
  data$t5 <- with(data, ifelse(rowSums(adjMatrix) > 0,  
                               0.75 * t4 + (1-0.75) * (adjMatrix %*% t4 / rowSums(adjMatrix)), 
                               t4)) 


  #calculate measures of interest
  colResponses <- colMeans(data[2:7])
  colErrorSq <- (colResponses-1)^2
  variance <- as.vector(sapply(data[2:7], function(i)
    var(i)))
  data2 <- data[2:7] 
  data2 <- (data2-1)^2
  avgIndErrSq <- colMeans(data2)
  rm(data2)

  #bind together output 
  Output <- data.frame("N" = N,
                       "StDv" = StDv,
                       "Time" = c("t0", "t1", "t2", "t3", "t4", "t5"),
                       "Collective.Response" = colResponses,
                       "Collective.Error.Squared" = colErrorSq,
                       "Variance" = variance,
                       "Avg.Ind.Error.Squared" = avgIndErrSq)

}

#### Simulate my model by running the function 100 times and saving the results as "myResults" ####
myResults <- ldply(1:100, function(i) data.frame(Iteration = i, myModel()))

我有我想要在向量中探索的所有 N 值：N_values <- c(10, 20, 40, 80)

以及我想在向量中探索的所有 StDv 值：StDv_values <- c(0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5)

有没有办法遍历 N 和 StDv、运行模拟的每个组合，并将结果保存在单个数据框中？

Answer 1

我建议使用 for 循环来循环您的选项。嵌套的 for 循环应循环遍历这些向量的所有值和组合。

#Loop through all N values in vector
for (i in 1:length(N_values)) {

    N = N_values[i]

    #Loop through all StDev values in vector for each 
    #iteration of all N values
    for (j in 1:length(StDv_values) {

        StDv = StDv_values[j]

        MyModel <- insert your model here... etc...
    }
}

如果我可以...你在哪里 #bind together output 和代码：

Output <- data.frame("N" = N,
                 "StDv" = StDv,
                 "Time" = c("t0", "t1", "t2", "t3", "t4", "t5"),
                 "Collective.Response" = colResponses,
                 "Collective.Error.Squared" = colErrorSq,
                 "Variance" = variance,
                 "Avg.Ind.Error.Squared" = avgIndErrSq)

您正在创建一个数据框，但我没有看到它绑定到任何东西。

为了编译您的所有数据，我建议如下：

1) 在 for 循环之外初始化一个 NULL 变量 2) 将所有新的输出 data.frame 值插入每次迭代的 CompiledDF 变量中。

CompiledDF = NULL

#Loop through all N values in vector
for (i in 1:length(N_values)) {

    N = N_values[i]

    #Loop through all StDev values in vector for each 
    #iteration of all N values
    for (j in 1:length(StDv_values) {

        StDv = StDv_values[j]

        MyModel <- insert your model here... etc...


        Output <- data.frame(etc...
                                   )

        CompiledDF <- rbind(CompiledDF, Output)


    }
}

Answer 2

我会编写一个辅助函数来处理使用适当的值组合调用 myModel 的重复细节。

runAll <- function(N_vec, StDv_vec){
  f <- function(N, StDv){
    ldply(1:100, function(i) data.frame(Iteration = i, myModel(N, StDv)))
  }
  vals <- expand.grid(N = N_vec, StDv = StDv_vec)
  res <- Map(function(.N, .StDv){f(.N, .StDv)}, vals$N, vals$StDv)
  res <- do.call(rbind, res)
  row.names(res) <- NULL
  res
}

N_values <- c(10, 20, 40, 80)
StDv_values <- c(0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5)

res <- runAll(N_values, StDv_values)

dim(res)
#[1] 9600    8

但是这仅在函数 myModel 被重新定义为接受两个参数 N 和 StDv 时有效。函数体保持完全相同。

myModel <- function(N, StDv){
  [...]
}
