dplyr:独特和独特之间的区别

Question

使用distinct vs unique时,结果行的数量似乎不同.我正在使用的数据集非常庞大.希望代码可以理解.

dt2a <- select(dt, mutation.genome.position, 
  mutation.cds, primary.site, sample.name, mutation.id) %>%
  group_by(mutation.genome.position, mutation.cds, primary.site) %>% 
  mutate(occ = nrow(.)) %>%
  select(-sample.name) %>% distinct()
dim(dt2a)
[1] 2316382       5

## Using unique instead
dt2b <- select(dt, mutation.genome.position, mutation.cds, 
   primary.site, sample.name, mutation.id) %>%
  group_by(mutation.genome.position, mutation.cds, primary.site) %>%
  mutate(occ = nrow(.)) %>%
  select(-sample.name) %>% unique()
dim(dt2b)
[1] 2837982       5

这是我正在使用的文件:

     dt = fread(fl)

这似乎是group_by考虑这个案例的结果

dt<-data.frame(g=rep(c("a","b"), each=3),
    v=c(2,2,5,2,7,7))

dt %>% group_by(g) %>% unique()
# Source: local data frame [4 x 2]
# Groups: g
# 
#   g v
# 1 a 2
# 2 a 5
# 3 b 2
# 4 b 7

dt %>% group_by(g) %>% distinct()
# Source: local data frame [2 x 2]
# Groups: g
# 
#   g v
# 1 a 2
# 2 b 2

dt %>% group_by(g) %>% distinct(v)
# Source: local data frame [4 x 2]
# Groups: g
# 
#   g v
# 1 a 2
# 2 a 5
# 3 b 2
# 4 b 7

当您使用时distinct()没有指明要使哪些变量不同,它似乎使用分组变量.
