在R中建立家庭嵌套树的父/子关系

Question

我正在做家谱：

我已经根据sqldf https://www.r-bloggers.com/exploring-recursive-ctes-with-sqldf/改编了Bob Horton的示例

我的资料：

      person            father
      Guillou Arthur    NA          
      Cleach Marc       NA          
      Guillou Eric      Guillou Arthur          
      Guillou Jacques   Guillou Arthur          
      Cleach Franck     Cleach Marc         
      Cleach Leo        Cleach Marc         
      Cleach Herbet     Cleach Leo          
      Cleach Adele      Cleach Herbet           
      Guillou Jean      Guillou Eric            
      Guillou Alan      Guillou Eric

我的结果是，后代按“ Guillou Arthur”（没有父亲的头等人物）的等级排序：

  name    parent_name              level
  Guillou Arthur    NA                  1       
  Guillou Eric      Guillou Arthur      2       
  Guillou Jacques   Guillou Arthur      2       
  Guillou Alan      Guillou Eric        3       
  Guillou Jean     Guillou Eric         3       

您可以使用sqldf进行递归查询来构建此表：

数据 ：

 person <- c("Guillou Arthur",
              "Cleach Marc",
              "Guillou Eric",
              "Guillou Jacques", 
              "Cleach Franck",
              "Cleach Leo",
              "Cleach Herbet",
              "Cleach Adele",
              "Guillou Jean",
              "Guillou Alan" )
 father <- c(NA, NA, "Guillou Arthur" , "Guillou Arthur", "Cleach Marc", "Cleach Marc", "Cleach Leo", "Cleach Herbet", "Guillou Eric", "Guillou Eric")


family <- data.frame(person, father)

大到长格式转换：

    library(tidyr)

    long_family <- gather(family, parent, parent_name, -person)

    long_family

递归查询以查找“ Guillou Arthur”（没有父亲的头号人物）的后代：

    library(sqldf)
      descendants_sql <- "
      WITH RECURSIVE descendants (name, parent_name, level) AS (
        SELECT person, parent_name, 1 FROM long_family 
          WHERE person = '%s'
          AND parent = '%s'

          UNION ALL
          SELECT F.person, F.parent_name, D.level + 1 
              FROM descendants D
              JOIN long_family F
              ON F.parent_name = D.name)

      SELECT * FROM descendants ORDER BY level, name
      "
      fam <- sqldf(sprintf(descendants_sql, 'Guillou Arthur', 'father'))
      fam   

我的问题：
如何直接用R（而不是sql）创建包括所有家族树的data.frame对象。每棵树都以先祖（无父）开头，例如“ Cleach Marc”。（使用R方法或sqldf方法）

Answer 1

我们构建了一个递归函数来获取父行，从那里一切都很容易。

首先，我们定义数据以stringsAsFactors = FALSE进行更平滑的重新格式化。

family <- data.frame(person, father,stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

功能

father_line <- function(x){
dad <- subset(family,person==x)$father
if(is.na(dad)) return(x)
c(x,father_line(dad))
}

father_line ("Guillou Alan")
# [1] "Guillou Alan"   "Guillou Eric"   "Guillou Arthur"

用它来获得等级和其他东西

family$father_line <- lapply(family$person,father_line)
family$level       <- lengths(family$father_line)
family$patriarch   <- sapply(family$father_line,tail,1)

#             person         father                                          father_line level      patriarch
# 1   Guillou Arthur           <NA>                                       Guillou Arthur     1 Guillou Arthur
# 2      Cleach Marc           <NA>                                          Cleach Marc     1    Cleach Marc
# 3     Guillou Eric Guillou Arthur                         Guillou Eric, Guillou Arthur     2 Guillou Arthur
# 4  Guillou Jacques Guillou Arthur                      Guillou Jacques, Guillou Arthur     2 Guillou Arthur
# 5    Cleach Franck    Cleach Marc                           Cleach Franck, Cleach Marc     2    Cleach Marc
# 6       Cleach Leo    Cleach Marc                              Cleach Leo, Cleach Marc     2    Cleach Marc
# 7    Cleach Herbet     Cleach Leo               Cleach Herbet, Cleach Leo, Cleach Marc     3    Cleach Marc
# 8     Cleach Adele  Cleach Herbet Cleach Adele, Cleach Herbet, Cleach Leo, Cleach Marc     4    Cleach Marc
# 9     Guillou Jean   Guillou Eric           Guillou Jean, Guillou Eric, Guillou Arthur     3 Guillou Arthur
# 10    Guillou Alan   Guillou Eric           Guillou Alan, Guillou Eric, Guillou Arthur     3 Guillou Arthur

例如要获得规定的预期输出：

subset(family,patriarch == "Guillou Arthur",select=c(person,father,level))
#             person         father level
# 1   Guillou Arthur           <NA>     1
# 3     Guillou Eric Guillou Arthur     2
# 4  Guillou Jacques Guillou Arthur     2
# 9     Guillou Jean   Guillou Eric     3
# 10    Guillou Alan   Guillou Eric     3 

的tidyverse方式，它是这样的：

library(tidyverse)
family %>%
  mutate(family_line = map(person,father_line),
         level = lengths(family_line),
         patriarch = map(family_line,last)) %>%
  filter(patriarch == "Guillou Arthur") %>%
  select(person,father,level)

#            person         father level
# 1  Guillou Arthur           <NA>     1
# 2    Guillou Eric Guillou Arthur     2
# 3 Guillou Jacques Guillou Arthur     2
# 4    Guillou Jean   Guillou Eric     3
# 5    Guillou Alan   Guillou Eric     3
