将函数应用于 R 中嵌套列表的某些元素

apply a function to some elements of a nested lists in R

我希望仅将函数应用于嵌套列表的某些元素

l <- list()

l$a$forecast <- rnorm(3)
l$a$model <- "arima"
l$b$forecast <- rnorm(3)
l$b$model <- "prophet"

期望的输出是这样的: 将求和函数应用于列表的 $forecast 元素

fcst <- c(sum(l$a$forecast),sum(l$b$forecast))
mdl <- c(l$a$model,l$b$model)
df <- data.frame(fcst,mdl)

我试过这样的事情:

df <- lapply(l$forecast, function(x) sum(x))
df <- do.call(rbind, Map(cbind, sku = names(df)))

您可以使用对象 letters 获取字母,然后在循环中使用其输出:

    n = 2 #number of lists you have
    sumfore = model = vector()
    for(i in letters[seq(1,n,1)]){
      sumfore[i] = sum(l[[i]]$forecast)
      model[i] =l[[i]]$model}
    newdf = data.frame(sumfore, model)

do.call(
  rbind,
  lapply(
    l,
    function(x) list(fcst = sum(x$forecast), model = x$model)
  )
)

由于您知道返回对象的确切尺寸,因此在这种情况下可以使用 vapply 来稍微提高性能:

vapply(
  l,
  FUN = function(x) list(fcst = sum(x$forecast), model = x$model),
  FUN.VALUE = list(fcst = numeric(1), model = character(1))
)

但是,生成的对象可能很难处理。

rrapply 包中使用 rrapply() 并结合 dplyr 的 bind_rows() 的另一种方法。这也扩展到包含更深嵌套级别的列表。

rrapply::rrapply(l, condition = function(x, .xname) .xname == "forecast", f = sum) %>%
  dplyr::bind_rows()

#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#>   forecast model  
#>      <dbl> <chr>  
#> 1    -1.28 arima  
#> 2     1.10 prophet

数据

set.seed(1)

l <- list(
  a = list(forecast = rnorm(3), model = "arima"),
  b = list(forecast = rnorm(3), model = "prophet")
)
