根据不同列中的值替换data.frame列中的值

Question

我有这个data.frame:

df <- data.frame(id = rep(c("one", "two", "three"), each = 10), week.born = NA)
df$week.born[c(5,15,28)] <- c(23,19,24)

df 

  id week.born
1    one        NA
2    one        NA
3    one        NA
4    one        NA
5    one        23
6    one        NA
7    one        NA
8    one        NA
9    one        NA
10   one        NA
11   two        NA
12   two        NA
13   two        NA
14   two        NA
15   two        19
16   two        NA
17   two        NA
18   two        NA
19   two        NA
20   two        NA
21 three        NA
22 three        NA
23 three        NA
24 three        NA
25 three        NA
26 three        NA
27 three        NA
28 three        24
29 three        NA
30 three        NA

对于one所有的week.born价值应该是23.对于two所有的week.born价值应该是19.对于one所有的week.born价值应该是24.

什么是最好的方法呢？

Answer 1

我将创建另一个包含映射的data.frame,然后进行简单的连接:

require(dplyr)
map <- data.frame(id=c("one","two","three"), new.week.born=c(23,19,24))
left_join(df, map, by="id")

# id week.born new.week.born
# 1    one        NA            23
# 2    one        NA            23
# ...
# 16   two        NA            19
# 17   two        NA            19
# 18   two        NA            19
# 19   two        NA            19
# 20   two        NA            19
# 21 three        NA            24
# 22 three        NA            24
# 23 three        NA            24
# ...

见下面的基准.

library(microbenchmark)
library(dplyr) # v 0.4.1
library(data.table) # v 1.9.5

df <- data.frame(id = rep(c("one", "two", "three"), each = 1e6))
df2 <- copy(df)
map <- data.frame(id=c("one","two","three"), new.week.born=c(23,19,24))

dplyr_join <- function() { 
  left_join(df, map, by="id")
}

r_merge <- function() {
  merge(df, map, by="id")
}

data.table_join <- function() {
  setkey(setDT(df2))[map]
}
