使用`purrr`将列表列表中的数据提取到自己的`data.frame`中

Question

代表性样本数据(清单清单):

l <- list(structure(list(a = -1.54676469632688, b = "s", c = "T", 
d = structure(list(id = 5L, label = "Utah", link = "Asia/Anadyr",

凭借JSON数据下载,我有一个列表列表.

该列表有176个元素,每个元素有33个嵌套元素,其中一些也是不同长度的列表.

我有兴趣分析特定嵌套列表中包含的数据,其中176个中的每一个的长度为〜150,其中有4个或5个元素 - 有些有4个,有些有5个.我试图提取这个嵌套感兴趣的列表并将其转换data.frame为能够执行某些分析.

在上面的代表性示例数据中,我d对5个元素中的每个元素的嵌套列表感兴趣l.data.frame因此,所需的内容如下:

id           label            link       score  externalId
 5            Utah     Asia/Anadyr  -0.2110459          NA
 8  South Carolina  Pacific/Wallis   0.5265409   -6.743544
 .
 .

我一直试图使用purrr似乎有一个明智和一致的流程来处理列表中的数据,但我遇到的错误,我无法完全理解的原因 - 很可能是我没有正确理解命令/逻辑purrr或列表(可能两者).这是我一直尝试的代码,但抛出相关的错误:

df <- map_df(l, "d", ~as.data.frame(.))
Error: incompatible sizes (5 != 4)

我认为这与d每个组件的不同长度有关,或者可能是不同的包含数据(有时4个元素有时为5)或者我在这里使用的函数可能是错误的 - 实际上我并不完全确定.

我通过使用for循环解决了这个问题,我知道这是低效的,因此我的问题就在这里.

这是我目前使用的for循环:

df <- data.frame(id = integer(), label = character(), score = numeric(), externalId = numeric())
for(i in seq_along(l)){
    df_temp <- l[[i]][[4]] %>% map_df(~as.data.frame(.))
    df <- rbind(df, df_temp)
}

最好的一些帮助purrr- 或者某些版本apply仍然优于我的for-loop - 将非常感激.此外,如果有上述资源,我想了解而不是只找到正确的代码.

Answer 1

您可以分三步完成此操作,首先拉出d,然后绑定每个元素中的行d,然后将所有内容绑定到单个对象中.

我用bind_rows从dplyr的范围内,列表行结合. map_df做最后一行绑定.

library(purrr)
library(dplyr)

l %>%
    map("d") %>%
    map_df(bind_rows)

这也是等价的:

map_df(l, ~bind_rows(.x[["d"]] ) )

结果如下:

# A tibble: 12 x 5
      id          label                 link      score externalId
   <int>          <chr>                <chr>      <dbl>      <dbl>
