为什么我不能从 uci 导入以下数据集

Question

下午好，

假设我们有以下函数：

data_preprocessing<-function(link,drop_last_column=TRUE){
  
  link=as.character(link) 
  DT <- data.table::fread(link, 
                          fill = TRUE,
                          na.strings = "?") 
  DT=DT[-1,]
  DT=as.data.frame(DT)
  
  if(drop_last_column==TRUE){
    DT=as.data.frame(DT)[,-ncol(DT)]
  }
  
  
  return(DT)
  
}

当我尝试从 uci 导入 acute 数据集时，出现以下错误：

acute=data_preprocessing("https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/acute/diagnosis.data")
 [100%] Downloaded 7276 bytes...
Error in data.table::fread(link, fill = TRUE, na.strings = "?") : 
  File is encoded in UTF-16, this encoding is not supported by fread(). Please recode the file to UTF-8.

我也试过了:

acute=read.csv("http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/acute/diagnosis.data")
Warning messages:
1: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  line 1 appears to contain embedded nulls
2: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  line 2 appears to contain embedded nulls
3: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  line 3 appears to contain embedded nulls
4: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  line 4 appears to contain embedded nulls
5: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  line 5 appears to contain embedded nulls
6: In scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec,  :
  embedded nul(s) found in input

感谢您的帮助！

改用 read.table 和适当的编码。

data_preprocessing<-function(link,drop_last_column=TRUE){
  
  link=as.character(link) 
  DT <- read.table(link, 
                   fileEncoding="UTF-16", 
                   fill = TRUE, 
                   na.strings = "?") 
  DT=DT[-1,]
  DT=as.data.frame(DT)
  
  if(drop_last_column==TRUE){
    DT=as.data.frame(DT)[,-ncol(DT)]
  }
  
  
  return(DT)
  
}

acute=data_preprocessing("https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/acute/diagnosis.data")

head(acute)
    V1 V2  V3  V4  V5  V6  V7
2 35,9 no  no yes yes yes yes
3 35,9 no yes  no  no  no  no
4 36,0 no  no yes yes yes yes
5 36,0 no yes  no  no  no  no
6 36,0 no yes  no  no  no  no
7 36,2 no  no yes yes yes yes

编辑： 要自动查找数据文件中使用的编码，可以使用 readr 包中的 guess_encoding 函数。

data_preprocessing<-function(link,drop_last_column=TRUE){
  
  link=as.character(link) 
  enc_guess <- readr::guess_encoding(link)
  enc <- enc_guess[enc_guess$confidence == max(enc_guess$confidence),]$encoding
  DT <- read.table(link, 
                   fileEncoding = enc, 
                   fill = TRUE, 
                   na.strings = "?") 
  DT=DT[-1,]
  DT=as.data.frame(DT)
  
  if(drop_last_column==TRUE){
    DT=as.data.frame(DT)[,-ncol(DT)]
  }
  
  
  return(DT)
  
}

为什么我不能从 uci 导入以下数据集

why i can't import the following dataset from uci

r

data-import
