R:{reshape} :( melt.data.frame)如何复制列？

Question

我在MCMC算法中有一系列迭代.行表示来自分布的绘制.列表示分布中的参数(变量).为便于说明:假设两个变量,五次迭代.所以我有:

> draws <- data.frame( iteration = c(1:5),
                       alpha     = rnorm(5,0,1),
                       beta      = rnorm(5,0,1))

  iteration      alpha       beta
1         1 -0.3157940  0.2122465
2         2  1.0087298 -0.2346733
3         3  1.0366165  0.3472915
4         4 -2.4256564  0.9863279
5         5 -0.6089072 -1.1213000

当我融化数据集时,我得到:

> melt(draws)
Using  as id variables
    variable      value
1  iteration  1.0000000
2  iteration  2.0000000
3  iteration  3.0000000
4  iteration  4.0000000
5  iteration  5.0000000
6      alpha -0.1042616
7      alpha  1.0707001
8      alpha  0.2166865
9      alpha  0.0771617
10     alpha -0.8893614
11      beta -0.4846693
12      beta -1.5950729
13      beta -0.7178340
14      beta  1.0149766
15      beta -0.3128256

但是我想要迭代迭代,以便我得到相当于(手工编辑):

> melt(draws)
Using  as id variables
   iteration  variable      value
1          1     alpha -0.1042616
2          2     alpha  1.0707001
3          3     alpha  0.2166865
4          4     alpha  0.0771617
5          5     alpha -0.8893614
6          1      beta -0.4846693
7          2      beta -1.5950729
8          3      beta -0.7178340
9          4      beta  1.0149766
10         5      beta -0.3128256

Answer 1

将id变量提供给melt:

melt(draws, id = "iteration")

得到:

   iteration variable       value
1          1    alpha -0.02765436
2          2    alpha -1.42138702
3          3    alpha  0.83525096
4          4    alpha -1.10677555
5          5    alpha  0.72465936
6          1     beta  0.59269720
7          2     beta -0.32164072
8          3     beta -1.31097204
9          4     beta  0.94993620
10         5     beta  0.20919169
