R Data.table 根据另一列划分列中的值

Question

我有一个主data.table，有 364 行和 3 列：

Date        Weekday     Weight
2012-01-01  Monday      100
2013-01-02  Tuesday     200
...

和一个7 行 2 列的帮助data.table：

Weekday   Coefficient
Monday    0.91
Tuesday   0.84
Wednesday 0.99
...

现在我想在主 data.table 中创建第四列，其中包含基于工作日的“权重/系数”。

Weight_divided <- main[, Weight * help[Weekday==main$Weekday]$Coefficient]

结果如下：

Date        Weekday     Weight   Weight_divided
2012-01-01  Monday      100      91
2013-01-02  Tuesday     200      168
2012-01-03  Wednesday   300      297
2012-01-04  Thursday    400      256
2012-01-05  Friday      500      399
2012-01-06  Saturday    600      410
2012-01-07  Sunday      700      680
2012-01-08  Monday      300      NA     <--
2012-01-09  Tuesday     600      NA     <--
...

我想问题是两个 data.tables 的长度不同。有没有办法在主 data.table 操作中引用它与较短的 data.table 一起使用？

Answer 1

使用data.table

library(data.table)
setkey(main, Weekday)[help, Weight_Coef := Weight*Coefficient][order(Date)]
  #      Weekday       Date Weight Weight_Coef
  # 1:    Monday 2012-01-01     59       53.69
  # 2:   Tuesday 2012-01-02     45       37.80
  # 3: Wednesday 2012-01-03    141      139.59
  # 4:  Thursday 2012-01-04    104       97.76
  # 5:    Friday 2012-01-05    133      109.06
  #---                                        
  #360: Wednesday 2012-12-25    192      190.08
  #361:  Thursday 2012-12-26     79       74.26
  #362:    Friday 2012-12-27     39       31.98
  #363:  Saturday 2012-12-28    175      148.75
  #364:    Sunday 2012-12-29    134      116.58

数据

set.seed(24)
main <- data.table(Weekday=rep(c('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday',
'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday'), length.out=364),
Date=seq(as.Date('2012-01-01'), length.out=364, by='day'), 
Weight=sample(200, 364, replace=TRUE))

help <- data.table(Weekday=c('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday',
'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday'), Coefficient=c(0.91, 0.84, 
 0.99, 0.94, 0.82, 0.85, 0.87))
