使用从 tidyr 收集时保留属性（属性不相同）

Question

我有一个数据框需要拆分成两个表以满足 Codd 的第三范式。在一个简单的例子中，原始数据框看起来像这样：

library(lubridate)
> (df <- data.frame(hh_id = 1:2,
                   income = c(55000, 94000),
                   bday_01 = ymd(c(20150309, 19890211)),
                   bday_02 = ymd(c(19850911, 20000815)),
                   gender_01 = factor(c("M", "F")),
                   gender_02 = factor(c("F", "F"))))

    hh_id income    bday_01    bday_02 gender_01 gender_02
  1     1  55000 2015-03-09 1985-09-11         M         F
  2     2  94000 1989-02-11 2000-08-15         F         F

当我使用 gather 函数时，它警告说属性不相同并且丢失了性别因素和 bday 的 lubridate（或现实世界示例中的其他属性）。是否有一个很好的 tidyr 解决方案来避免丢失每一列的数据类型？

library(tidyr)
> (person <- df %>% 
      select(hh_id, bday_01:gender_02) %>% 
      gather(key, value, -hh_id) %>%
      separate(key, c("key", "per_num"), sep = "_") %>%
      spread(key, value))

     hh_id per_num       bday gender
   1     1      01 1425859200      M
   2     1      02  495244800      F
   3     2      01  603158400      F
   4     2      02  966297600      F

   Warning message:
   attributes are not identical across measure variables; they will be dropped

> lapply(person, class)

  $hh_id
  [1] "integer"

  $per_num
  [1] "character"

  $bday
  [1] "character"

  $gender
  [1] "character"

我可以想象一种方法，分别收集具有相同数据类型的每组变量，然后连接所有表，但必须有一个更优雅的解决方案，我错过了。

你好像不喜欢我的。再诱惑你一次

(df <- data.frame(hh_id = 1:2,
                  income = c(55000, 94000),
                  bday_01 = ymd(c(20150309, 19890211)),
                  bday_02 = ymd(c(19850911, 20000815)),
                  gender_01 = factor(c("M", "F")),
                  gender_02 = factor(c("F", "F"))))


reshape(df, idvar = 'hh_id', varying = list(3:4, 5:6), direction = 'long',
        v.names = c('bday','gender'), timevar = 'per_num')

#     hh_id income    per_num       bday gender
# 1.1     1  55000          1 2015-03-09      M
# 2.1     2  94000          1 1989-02-11      F
# 1.2     1  55000          2 1985-09-11      F
# 2.2     2  94000          2 2000-08-15      F

您可以将日期转换为字符，然后在最后将它们转换回日期：

(person <- df %>% 
      select(hh_id, bday_01:gender_02) %>% 
      mutate_each(funs(as.character), contains('bday')) %>%
      gather(key, value, -hh_id) %>%
      separate(key, c("key", "per_num"), sep = "_") %>%
      spread(key, value) %>%
      mutate(bday=ymd(bday)))

  hh_id per_num       bday gender
1     1      01 2015-03-09      M
2     1      02 1985-09-11      F
3     2      01 1989-02-11      F
4     2      02 2000-08-15      F

或者，如果您使用 Date 而不是 POSIXct，您可以这样做：

(person <- df %>% 
      select(hh_id, bday_01:gender_02) %>% 
      gather(per_num1, gender, contains('gender'), convert=TRUE) %>%
      gather(per_num2, bday, contains('bday'), convert=TRUE) %>%
      mutate(bday=as.Date(bday)) %>%
      mutate_each(funs(str_extract(., '\d+')), per_num1, per_num2) %>%
      filter(per_num1 == per_num2) %>%
      rename(per_num=per_num1) %>%
      select(-per_num2))

编辑

您看到的警告：

Warning: attributes are not identical across measure variables; they will be dropped

产生于收集性别列，这些列是因素并具有不同的水平向量（参见 str(df)）。如果您要将性别列转换为角色，或者如果您要将它们的级别与类似的东西同步，

df <- mutate(df, gender_02 = factor(gender_02, levels=levels(gender_01)))

然后你会看到当你执行

时警告消失了

person <- df %>% 
        select(hh_id, bday_01:gender_02) %>% 
        gather(key, value, contains('gender'))

使用 tidyr 1.0.0 可以按如下方式完成：

suppressPackageStartupMessages({
  library(tidyr)
  library(lubridate)
})
df <- data.frame(hh_id = 1:2,
                 income = c(55000, 94000),
                 bday_01 = ymd(c(20150309, 19890211)),
                 bday_02 = ymd(c(19850911, 20000815)),
                 gender_01 = factor(c("M", "F")),
                 gender_02 = factor(c("F", "F")))

pivot_longer(df, -(1:2), names_to = c(".value","per_num"),names_sep = "_" )
#> # A tibble: 4 x 5
#>   hh_id income per_num bday       gender
#>   <int>  <dbl> <chr>   <date>     <fct> 
#> 1     1  55000 01      2015-03-09 M     
#> 2     1  55000 02      1985-09-11 F     
#> 3     2  94000 01      1989-02-11 F     
#> 4     2  94000 02      2000-08-15 F
