传播多列 [tidyr]

Spread multiple columns [tidyr]

我想使用 tidyr.

将数据分散到多个列中
  dat <- data.frame(ID = rep(1,10), 
  col1 = LETTERS[seq(1,10)], 
  col2 = c(letters[seq(1,8)],NA,NA),
  col3 = c(rep(NA,8),"5",NA),
  col4 = c(rep(NA,8),NA,"value"))

预期结果是:

Out <- data.frame(t(c(1,letters[seq(1,8)],"5","value")),row.names=NULL)
colnames(Out) <- c("ID",LETTERS[seq(1,10)])

我想到了:

a <- dat %>% gather(variable, value, -(ID:col1)) %>% 
     unite(temp, col1, variable) %>% 
     spread(temp, value)
a[,-which(is.na(a))]

这很笨拙,而且还更改了列名。对此有更好的解决方案吗?

我们可以在gather中使用na.rm=TRUE,删除'variable'和select并使用spread

library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
gather(dat, variable, val, -(ID:col1), na.rm=TRUE) %>% 
                      select(-variable)  %>% 
                      spread(col1, val)
#  ID A B C D E F G H I     J
#1  1 d b b c b b b a 5 value

更新

开发版tidyrtidyr_0.8.3.9000),当有多个值列需要考虑时,我们可以使用pivot_wider

dat %>%
  pivot_wider(names_from = col1, values_from = str_c("col", 2:4)) %>% 
  select_if(~ any(!is.na(.)))
# A tibble: 1 x 11
#     ID col2_A col2_B col2_C col2_D col2_E col2_F col2_G col2_H col3_I col4_J
#  <dbl> <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct>  <fct> 
#1     1 a      b      c      d      e      f      g      h      5      value 

如果我们使用reshape2,类似的选项是

library(reshape2)
dcast(melt(dat, measure = 3:5, na.rm=TRUE),
                      ID~col1, value.var='value')
