我是初学者,学习如何从R中的数据集中对特定的行和列进行子集化。我在R Studio中使用state.x77数据集作为练习。当我尝试选择指定的列时,我收到以下错误消息:
library(dplyr)
library(tibble)
select(state.x77, Income, HS Grad)
Error: unexpected symbol in "select(state.x77, Income, HS Grad"
我不明白该行代码中的符号是不正确的。
另外,如果我除了选择某些列(变量)之外还尝试过滤某个状态,当状态列表是行名时,如何使用过滤器功能?当我尝试:
rownames_to_column(state.x77, var = "State")
它为州名创建一个名为State的列,但是当我去查看state.x77时它似乎不是永久的(因此我不能使用过滤器函数)。
对不起,我是初学者。任何帮助将不胜感激。
谢谢。

有两个问题。首先,state.x77
是一个矩阵,因此您需要将其转换为数据帧,因为select
包中的dplyr
函数仅将数据帧作为第一个参数。其次,如果列名中有空格,则必须使用“或”来包含列名。
# Load package
library(dplyr)
# Show the class of state.x77
class(state.x77)
# [1] "matrix"
# Convert state.x77 to a data frame
state.x77_df <- as.data.frame(state.x77)
# Show the class of state.x77_df
class(state.x77_df)
[1] "data.frame"
# Select Income and `HS Grad` columns
# All the following will work
select(state.x77_df, Income, `HS Grad`)
select(state.x77_df, "Income", "HS Grad")
select(state.x77_df, c("Income", "HS Grad"))
对于第二个问题,您必须按如下方式将输出保存回对象。
library(tibble)
state.x77_df <- rownames_to_column(state.x77_df, var = "State")
head(state.x77_df)

# Convert state.x77 into a dataframe and renaming rowname into State column
df <- tibble::rownames_to_column(data.frame(state.x77), var = "State")
## You can select any columns by their column names or by index
# by column names
col_names <- c("Income", "HS.Grad")
df[,col_names]
# by column index
col_index <- c(3,7)
df[, col_index]
# Filtering(subsetting) data by state
subset(df, df$State == "Arizona")
