使用R

Question

我需要为示例数据中的每个value确定最小的class （忽略NAs），并将其标记为＆＃39; min＆＃39;在使用data.table

的新列中，如下所示

示例数据：

df = structure(list(class = c("apple", "apple", "apple", "banana", 
"banana", "berry", "berry", "grape", "grape", "grape", "grape", 
"grape", "melon", "melon", "melon"), value = c(108816872, 108851837, 
108890411, 108784778, NA, 108784778, 108816872, 108816872, 108850460, 
NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA)), .Names = c("class", "value"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-15L))

期望的输出：

#    class     value anno
#1   apple 108816872  min
#2   apple 108851837   NA
#3   apple 108890411   NA
#4  banana 108784778  min
#5  banana        NA   NA
#6   berry 108784778  min
#7   berry 108816872   NA
#8   grape 108816872  min
#9   grape 108850460   NA
#10  grape        NA   NA
#11  grape        NA   NA
#12  grape        NA   NA
#13  melon        NA   NA
#14  melon        NA   NA
#15  melon        NA   NA

Answer 1

I was going to suggest @eddies approach, but here's an alternative

setDT(df)[order(value), min := c("min", rep(NA, .N - 1)), by = class]

---

Edit, if you want the actuall value instead of "min", you could modify to

setDT(df)[order(value), min := c(value[1L], rep(NA, .N - 1L)), by = class]

Answer 2

dt = as.data.table(df) # or convert in place using setDT

dt[dt[, .I[which.min(value)], by = class]$V1, anno := 'min']
