ddply错误的含义:'names'属性[9]的长度必须与vector [1]的长度相同

标签: r plyr

我正在为黑客进行机器学习,我被困在这一行:

from.weight <- ddply(priority.train, .(From.EMail), summarise, Freq = length(Subject))

会产生以下错误:

Error in attributes(out) <- attributes(col) : 
  'names' attribute [9] must be the same length as the vector [1]

这是一个追溯():

               stop("with piece ", i, ": \n", piece, call. = FALSE)
           }
       }
       else {
           res <- .fun(piece, ...)
       }
       progress$step()
       res
   }(1L)

priority.train对象是一个数据框,这里有更多信息:

> mode(priority.train)
[1] "list"
> names(priority.train)
[1] "Date"       "From.EMail" "Subject"    "Message"    "Path"      
> sapply(priority.train, mode)
       Date  From.EMail     Subject     Message        Path 
     "list" "character" "character" "character" "character" 
> sapply(priority.train, class)
$Date
[1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" 

$From.EMail
[1] "character"

$Subject
[1] "character"

$Message
[1] "character"

$Path
[1] "character"

我会发布一个样本,但内容有点长,我不认为这里的内容是相关的。

这里也发生了同样的错误:

> ddply(priority.train, .(Subject))
Error in attributes(out) <- attributes(col) : 
  'names' attribute [9] must be the same length as the vector [1]

有没有人知道这里发生了什么?错误似乎是由一个不同于priority.train的对象生成的,因为它的names属性显然有9个元素。

我很感激任何帮助。谢谢!

问题已解决

由于@ user1317221_G使用dput功能的提示,我发现了这个问题。问题在于Date字段,此时此列表包含9个字段(sec,min,hour,mday,mon,year,wday,yday,isdst)。为了解决这个问题,我只是将日期转换为字符向量,使用ddply然后将日期转换回日期:

> tmp <- priority.train$Date
> priority.train$Date <- as.character(priority.train$Date)
> from.weight <- ddply(priority.train, .(From.EMail), summarise, Freq = length(Subject))
> priority.train$Date <- tmp
> rm(tmp)

我通过将格式从POSIXlt转换为POSIXct来解决我遇到的问题,正如Hadley在上面建议的那样 - 一行代码:

    mydata$datetime<-strptime(mydata$datetime, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") # original conversion from datetime string : > class(mydata$datetime) [1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" 
    mydata$datetime<-as.POSIXct(mydata$datetime) # convert to POSIXct to use in data frames / ddply

你可能已经seen this但它没有帮助。我想我们可能还没有答案,因为人们无法重现你的错误。

dput或更小head(dput())可能有助于此。但是这里有一个使用base的替代方案:

x <- data.frame(A=c("a","b","c","a"),B=c("e","d","d","d"))

ddply(x,.(A),summarise, Freq = length(B))
  A Freq
1 a    2
2 b    1
3 c    1

 tapply(x$B,x$A,length)
a b c 
2 1 1 

tapply对您有用吗?

x2 <- data.frame(A=c("removed@removed.ca", "removed@removed.net"),
                 B=c("please help a newbie compile mplayer :-)", 
                     "re: please help a newbie compile mplayer :-)"))

tapply(x2$B,x2$A,length)
removed@removed.ca removed@removed.net 
              1                   1 

ddply(x2,.(A),summarise, Freq = length(B))
                    A Freq
1  removed@removed.ca    1
2 removed@removed.net    1

您还可以尝试更简单:

table(x2$A)

 removed@removed.ca removed@removed.net 
              1                   1

我有一个非常类似的问题,虽然不确定它是否是一个相同的问题。我收到了以下错误。

Error in attributes(out) <- attributes(col) : 
  'names' attribute [20388] must be the same length as the vector [128]

我在列表模式下没有任何变量,所以Mota的解决方案对我的情况不起作用。我对问题进行排序的方法是删除plyr 1.8并手动安装plyr 1.7。然后错误就消失了。我也尝试重新安装plyr 1.8并重复了这个问题。

HTH。

我也遇到了与ddply类似的问题,并在下面给出了代码/错误:

    test <- ddply(test, "catColumn", function(df) df[1:min(nrow(df), 3),])
    Error: 'names' attribute [11] must be the same length as the vector [2]

数据框“测试”中有相当多的分类变量。

将分类变量转换为字符变量,如下所示使ddply命令起作用:

    test <- data.frame(lapply(test, as.character), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

答案 4 :(得分:2)

一旦你理解了一个干扰你的日期列,你也可以在运行命令时将该列留下而不是转换它......

所以

from.weight <- ddply(priority.train[,c(1:7,9:10)], .(From.EMail), summarise, Freq = length(Subject))

可以成为

Semaphore

例如,如果POSIXlt日期恰好位于数据帧的第8列。报告错误的奇怪之处在于,它可能与您正在分组的内容或您正在寻找的输出信息无关...

答案 5 :(得分:1)

使用ddply并使用doBy

修复时,我遇到了同样的问题
library(doBy) 
bylength = function(x){length(x)} 
newdt = bylength(X ~From.EMail + To.EMail, data = dt, FUN = bylength)

答案 6 :(得分:0)

我也面临同样的问题,我通过仅保留ddply所需的数据并使用as.character将所有必需的Text变量转换为字符来解决它

它有效
