Classify or cut a data frame from a list of class ranges and summarize it with ddply

Question

I have a question about ddply and a subset.

I have a dataframe df like this:

df <- read.table(textConnection(
"   id v_idn v_seed v_time v_pop v_rank v_perco 
    1  15    125648 0      150   1      15      
    2  17    125648 0      120   2      5       
    3  18    125648 0      100   3      6       
    4  52    125648 0      25    4      1       

    5  17    125648 10     220   1      5      
    6  15    125648 10     160   2      15       
    7  18    125648 10     110   3      6      
    8  52    125648 10     50    4      1       

    9  56   -11152  0      250   1      17      
    10 15   -11152  0      180   2      15      
    11 18   -11152  0      110   3      6       
    12 22   -11152  0      5     4      14      

    13 56   -11152  10     250   1      17      
    14 15   -11152  10     180   2      15      
    15 22   -11152  10     125   3      14      
    16 18   -11152  10     120   4      6 "), header=TRUE)      

STEP ONE:

I have a list of equal intervals with cut_interval as follows:

myinterval <- cut_interval(c(15,5,6,1,17,14), length=10)  

So, I have two levels: [0.10) and (10.20)

STEP TWO:

I want each group / class defined by my two levels in v_cut ... for example:

id v_idn v_seed v_time v_pop v_rank v_perco v_cut
1  15    125648 0      150   1      15      (10,20]
2  17    125648 0      120   2      5       [0,10)
3  18    125648 0      100   3      6       [0,10)
4  52    125648 0      25    4      1       [0,10)

5  17    125648 10     220   1      5       [0,10)
6  15    125648 10     160   2      15      (10,20] 
7  18    125648 10     110   3      6       [0,10)
8  52    125648 10     50    4      1       [0,10)

9  56   -11152  0      250   1      17      (10,20]
10 15   -11152  0      180   2      15      (10,20]
11 18   -11152  0      110   3      6       [0,10)
12 22   -11152  0      5     4      14      (10,20]

13 56   -11152  10     250   1      17      (10,20]
14 15   -11152  10     180   2      15      (10,20]
15 22   -11152  10     125   3      14      (10,20]
16 18   -11152  10     120   4      6       [0,10)

STEP 3:

I want to know the variability of v_rank for the x axis and the time for y axis for each v_cut group, so I need to calculate min, mean, max, sd for the v_rank value with something like

ddply(df, .(v_cut,v_time), summarize ,mean = mean(v_rank), min = min(v_rank), max = max(v_rank), sd = sd(v_rank))

* RESULT I WANTED: *

id  v_time MEAN.v_rank ... v_cut
1   0      2.25            (10,20]
2   0      2.42            [0,10)
3   10     2.25            [0,10)
4   10     2.42            (10,20]

MY PROBLEM

I do not know how to perform step 1 -> step 2: /

And if you can group by v_cut, as my example, in step 3?

Is it possible to do the same with the ddply "subset" option?

    etc.

v_cut dataDrame sumData, ddply? ? df = v_idn v_cut sumData ?

Answer 1

plyr , reshape

## Pull what you need
dfx <- df[c("v_seed", "v_time","v_rank","v_perco")]
## Bring in your cuts
dfx <- data.frame(dfx, ifelse(df$v_perco > 10,"(10,20]", "[0,10)")))
## Rename v_cut
colnames(dfx)[ncol(dfx)] <- "v_cut"       
## Melt it.    
dfx <- melt(dfx, id=c("v_cut", "v_seed", "v_time"))
## Cast it.
dfx <- cast(dfx, v_cut + v_time + v_seed ~ variable, c(mean,min,max,sd))

, :

dfx <- cast(dfx, v_cut + v_time + v_seed ~ variable, mean)

"dfx", , .

Answer 2

:

## Add your cut
df.new <- data.frame(df, ifelse(df$v_perco > 10,"(10,20]", "[0,10)"))
## Rename v_cut
colnames(df.new)[ncol(df.new)] <- "v_cut"   

## Careful here read the note below
df.new <- ddply(df.new, .(v_idn, v_time), function(x) unique(data.frame(
mean =  mean(x$v_rank),
v_cut = x$v_cut
)))

:

ddply(df.new, .(v_idn, v_time), summarise, mean=mean(v_rank))

". (v_idn, v_time)" , v_idn v_time v_rank.
