Question

我有一个相当大的（大约10万个观测值）数据集，类似于：

data <- data.frame(
                 ID = seq(1, 5, 1),
                 Values = c("1,2,3", "4", " ", "4,1,6,5,1,1,6", "0,0"), 
                 stringsAsFactors=F)
data
  ID        Values
1  1         1,2,3
2  2             4
3  3              
4  4 4,1,6,5,1,1,6
5  5           0,0

我想将","的值列与NA分开，用于遗漏的单元格：

ID v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 v7
1  1  2  3  NA NA NA NA
2  4  NA NA NA NA NA NA
3  NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
4  4  1  6  5  1  1  6
5  0  0  NA NA NA NA NA
...

最佳尝试次数为strsplit + rbind：

df <- data.frame(do.call(
                        "rbind",
                        strsplit(as.character(data$Values), split = "," , fixed = FALSE)
                        ))

但rbind功能只是回收所有“短”＆＃39;行而不是设置＆＃34; NA＆＃34;。 Have found similar problem

我建议您查看my cSplit function或手动解决问题。

cSplit方法只是：

cSplit(data, "Values", ",")
#    ID Values_1 Values_2 Values_3 Values_4 Values_5 Values_6 Values_7
# 1:  1        1        2        3       NA       NA       NA       NA
# 2:  2        4       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA
# 3:  3                NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA
# 4:  4        4        1        6        5        1        1        6
# 5:  5        0        0       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA

手动接近问题如下：

## Split up the values
Split <- strsplit(data$Values, ",", fixed = TRUE)
## How long is each list element?
Ncol <- vapply(Split, length, 1L)
## Create an empty character matrix to store the results
M <- matrix(NA_character_, nrow = nrow(data),
            ncol = max(Ncol), 
            dimnames = list(NULL, paste0("V", sequence(max(Ncol)))))
## Use matrix indexing to figure out where to put the results
M[cbind(rep(1:nrow(data), Ncol), 
        sequence(Ncol))] <- unlist(Split, use.names = FALSE)
## Bind the values back together, here as a "data.table" (faster)
data.table(ID = data$ID, M)

^^这几乎是cSplit中发生的事情，但该函数有一些其他选项和一些基本的错误检查等等，这可能会使它比纯手动方法（或者为解决您的具体问题而编写的函数。）

这两种方法都比“data.table”+“reshape2”方法更快。此外，由于每一行都是单独处理的，即使您有重复的ID值，也不应该有任何问题 - 您的输出应该与输入的行数相同。

基准

我已经对更多行和数据做了基准测试，这些测试会产生“更广泛”的结果（因为这是对David回答的评论所暗示的）。

以下是示例数据：

set.seed(1)
a <- sample(0:100, 100000, TRUE)
Values <- vapply(a, function(x) 
  paste(sample(0:100, x, TRUE), collapse = ","), character(1L))
Values[sample(length(Values), length(Values) * .15)] <- ""
ID <- c(1:80000, 1:20000)
data <- data.frame(ID, Values, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
DT <- as.data.table(data)

以下是要测试的功能：

fun1a <- function(inDT) {
  data2 <- DT[, list(Values = unlist(
    strsplit(Values, ","))), by = ID]
  data2[, Var := paste0("v", seq_len(.N)), by = ID] 
  dcast.data.table(data2, ID ~ Var, 
                   fill = NA_character_, 
                   value.var = "Values")
}

fun1b <- function(inDT) {
  data2 <- DT[, list(Values = unlist(
    strsplit(Values, ",", fixed = TRUE), 
    use.names = FALSE)), by = ID]
  data2[, Var := paste0("v", seq_len(.N)), by = ID] 
  dcast.data.table(data2, ID ~ Var, 
                   fill = NA_character_, 
                   value.var = "Values")
}

fun2 <- function(inDT) {
  cSplit(DT, "Values", ",")
}

fun3 <- function(inDF) {
  Split <- strsplit(inDF$Values, ",", fixed = TRUE)
  Ncol <- vapply(Split, length, 1L)
  M <- matrix(NA_character_, nrow = nrow(inDF),
              ncol = max(Ncol), 
              dimnames = list(NULL, paste0("V", sequence(max(Ncol)))))
  M[cbind(rep(1:nrow(inDF), Ncol), 
          sequence(Ncol))] <- unlist(Split, use.names = FALSE)
  data.table(ID = inDF$ID, M)
}

结果如下：

library(microbenchmark)
microbenchmark(fun2(DT), fun3(data), times = 20)
# Unit: seconds
#        expr      min       lq   median       uq      max neval
#    fun2(DT) 4.810942 5.173103 5.498279 5.622279 6.003339    20
#  fun3(data) 3.847228 3.929311 4.058728 4.160082 4.664568    20

## Didn't want to microbenchmark here...
system.time(fun1a(DT))
#    user  system elapsed 
#   16.92    0.50   17.59
system.time(fun1b(DT))  # fixed = TRUE & use.names = FALSE
#    user  system elapsed 
#   11.54    0.42   12.01

注意：由于重复的ID，fun1a和fun1b的结果与fun2和fun3的结果不同。

这是一个data.table结合reshape2方法（应该非常有效）

library(data.table) # Loading `data.table` package
data2 <- setDT(data)[, list(Values = unlist(strsplit(Values, ","))), by = ID] # splitting the values by `,` for each `ID`
data2[, Var := paste0("v", seq_len(.N)), by = ID] # Adding the `Var` variable

library(reshape2) # Loading `reshape2` package
dcast.data.table(data2, ID ~ Var, fill = NA_character_, value.var = "Values") # decasting

#    ID v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 v7
# 1:  1  1  2  3 NA NA NA NA
# 2:  2  4 NA NA NA NA NA NA
# 3:  3    NA NA NA NA NA NA
# 4:  4  4  1  6  5  1  1  6
# 5:  5  0  0 NA NA NA NA NA

拆分不同的长度值并绑定到列
