如何在循环中调用函数来计算 R 中的加权交叉表

Question

我想计算变量 x 和相同 dataframe 的几个 y 变量之间的几个加权交叉表。我创建了一个函数来执行此操作，但我无法循环我的 y 变量列表。

我给出了一个使用 mpg 数据的过程示例：在这里，我的 y 变量是 cyl 和 year。 x 是 class。

library(questionr)

# include some weights in mpg2 (same weight)

mpg2 <- mpg %>%
  mutate(weight = 1/234)
#> Error in mpg %>% mutate(weight = 1/234): could not find function "%>%"

# crosstab class by cyl using weights
questionr::wtd.table(mpg2$class, mpg2$cyl,
                                  weights=mpg2$weight,
                                  digits = 0, na.show=FALSE)
#> Error in questionr::wtd.table(mpg2$class, mpg2$cyl, weights = mpg2$weight, : object 'mpg2' not found

# using a function
calc_table <- function(x, y) {
  return(questionr::wtd.table(x, y,
                       weights=mpg2$weight,
                       digits = 0, na.show=FALSE))
}

# No problem when describing the variable as mpg2$cyl
calc_table(mpg2$class, mpg2$cyl)
#> Error in questionr::wtd.table(x, y, weights = mpg2$weight, digits = 0, : object 'mpg2' not found

# But I want to crosstab class with cyl (mpg2[5])
# and also class with year (mpg2[4]) 
# referencing the variable in a loop
# My main goal is to use the function for several variables

for (i in c(4:5)){
  calc_table(mpg2$class, mpg2[i])
}
#> Error in questionr::wtd.table(x, y, weights = mpg2$weight, digits = 0, : object 'mpg2' not found

Answer 1

问题是您使用了 mpg2[i] 其中 returns 一个数据帧或 tibble 而不是 mpg2[[i]] 其中 returns 个向量。但是，除了这个问题之外，我建议循环遍历列名而不是位置。我还添加了一个列表来保存结果。试试这个：

library(dplyr)
library(questionr)

# include some weights in mpg2 (same weight)

mpg2 <- ggplot2::mpg %>%
  mutate(weight = 1/234)

# using a function
calc_table <- function(x, y) {
  questionr::wtd.table(x, y, weights=mpg2$weight, digits = 0, na.show=FALSE)
}

table_list <- list()
for (i in c("cyl", "year")){
  print(table_list[[i]] <- calc_table(mpg2$class, mpg2[[i]]))
}
#>                      4           5           6           8
