R - 快速二样本 t 检验

Question

我想使用单独的分组在 R 中执行两个样本 t 检验。 t.test 必须是“无偏的”，这意味着对于外部组（下面的第 2 组）中的所有事务，必须为每个内部组（下面的第 1 组）运行 T 测试，例如：“内部组 A”与“内部组不是 A”。下面显示的for循环代码可能比口头解释更清楚...

我当前的代码如下。有谁知道更快/更好的方法来做到这一点？开放使用任何包，但目前使用data.table。

就上下文而言，我有大约 100 万行交易数据。组 1 表示一个人（如果有多个行，他们有多个事务）并包含约 30k 唯一值。第 2 组表示邮政编码，包含约 500 个唯一值

谢谢！

library(data.table)

# fake data
grp1 <- c('A','A','A','B','B','C','C','D','D','D','D','E','E','E','F','F')
grp2 <- c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,  2,2,2,2,2,2,2,  2,2)
vals <- c(10,20,30, 40,15, 25,60, 70,100,200,300, 400,1000,2000, 3000,5000)
DT <- data.table(grp1 = grp1, grp2 = grp2, vals = vals)

# "two sample t.test" --------------------------------------------------

# non vectorized, in-place
# runtime is ~50 mins for real data
for (z in DT[,unique(grp2)]){
  for (c in DT[grp2 == z, unique(grp1)]) {

    res = t.test(
      DT[grp2 == z & grp1 == c, vals],
      DT[grp2 == z & grp1 != c, vals],
      alternative = 'greater'
    )

    DT[grp2 == z & grp1 == c, pval := res$p.value]
    DT[grp2 == z & grp1 == c, tstat := res$statistic]

  }
}

# vectorized, creates new summarized data.table
# runtime is 1-2 mins on real data
vec <- DT[,{
  grp2_vector = vals
  .SD[,.(tstat = t.test(vals, setdiff(grp2_vector, vals), alternative = 'g')$statistic,
         pval = t.test(vals, setdiff(grp2_vector, vals), alternative = 'g')$p.value), by=grp1]
} , by=grp2]

Answer 1

stats::t.test 是通用的并进行了许多检查。您可以只计算您需要的，即 t 统计量和 p 值，还可以利用 data.table 中的优化来计算长度、均值和方差。这是一种可能的方法：

#combinations of grp1 and grp2 and those not in grp1 for each grp2
comb <- unique(DT[, .(grp1, grp2)])[,
    rbindlist(lapply(1:.N, function(n) .(g1=rep(grp1[n], .N-1L), notIn=grp1[-n]))),
    .(g2=grp2)]

#this is optimized, switch on verbose to see the output
X <- DT[, .(nx=.N, mx=mean(vals), vx=var(vals)), .(grp1, grp2)] #, verbose=TRUE]

#calculate length, mean, var for values not in grp1
Y <- DT[comb, on=.(grp2=g2, grp1=notIn), allow.cartesian=TRUE][,
    .(ny=.N, my=mean(vals), vy=var(vals)), by=.(grp1=g1, grp2=grp2)]

#calculate outputs based on stats:::t.test.default
ans <- X[Y, on=.(grp1, grp2)][, c("tstat", "pval") := {
    stderrx <- sqrt(vx/nx)
    stderry <- sqrt(vy/ny)
    stderr <- sqrt(stderrx^2 + stderry^2)
    df <- stderr^4/(stderrx^4/(nx - 1) + stderry^4/(ny - 1))
    tstat <- (mx - my)/stderr
    .(tstat, pt(tstat, df, lower.tail = FALSE))
}, by=1:Y[,.N]]

输出：

我建议查看 Rfast 包。有ttest1、ttest2、ttests等命令，用于一个样本、2个样本和多个t
