【问题描述】:
我已按列将数据读入数据框 R。一些列的价值会增加;仅对于那些列,我想用与该列中前一个值的差异替换每个值 (n)。例如,查看单个列,我想要
c(1,2,5,7,8)
替换为
c(1,3,2,1)
哪些是连续元素之间的差异
但是,现在已经很晚了,我想我的大脑刚刚停止工作。这是我目前的代码
col1 <- c(1,2,3,4,NA,2,3,1) # This column rises and falls, so we want to ignore it
col2 <- c(1,2,3,5,NA,5,6,7) # Note: this column always rises in value, so we want to replace it with deltas
col3 <- c(5,4,6,7,NA,9,3,5) # This column rises and falls, so we want to ignore it
d <- cbind(col1, col2, col3)
d
fix_data <- function(data) {
# Iterate through each column...
for (column in data[,1:dim(data)[2]]) {
lastvalue <- 0
# Now walk through each value in the column,
# checking to see if the column consistently rises in value
for (value in column) {
if (is.na(value) == FALSE) { # Need to ignore NAs
if (value >= lastvalue) {
alwaysIncrementing <- TRUE
} else {
alwaysIncrementing <- FALSE
break
}
}
}
if (alwaysIncrementing) {
print(paste("Column", column, "always increments"))
}
# If a column is always incrementing, alwaysIncrementing will now be TRUE
# In this case, I want to replace each element in the column with the delta between successive
# elements. The size of the column shrinks by 1 in doing this, so just prepend a copy of
# the 1st element to the start of the list to ensure the column length remains the same
if (alwaysIncrementing) {
print(paste("This is an incrementing column:", colnames(column)))
column <- c(column[1], diff(column, lag=1))
}
}
data
}
fix_data(d)
d
如果您将此代码复制/粘贴到 RGui 中,您会发现它对提供的数据框没有任何作用。
除了失去理智,我做错了什么??

你不会在任何地方分配 lastvalue...
