Question

以下是我的数据示例。我正在尝试为数据表创建数据，其中使用dcast函数后，数据必须以非常特定的顺序排列。我也在尝试计算某些列之间的差异。目标是按状态，区域，1_2017、1_2018、1_diff，2_2017、2_2018、2_diff等的顺序获取数据。

我试图通过专门调用每一列来计算差异并对列进行排序，但这似乎是一种非常差的方法，尤其是当我的实际数据超过50列时。下面是我的示例数据以及我一直在使用的逻辑。

       library(reshape2)
    library(dplyr)



    #Data

    data<-data.frame("State"=c("AK","AK","AK","AK","AK","AK","AK","AK","AR","AR","AR","AR","AR","AR","AR","AR"),
                     "StoreRank" = c(1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2),
                     "Year" = c(2017,2018,2017,2018,2017,2018,2017,2018,2017,2018,2017,2018,2017,2018,2017,2018),
                     "Region" = c("East","East","West","West","East","East","West","West","East","East","West","West","East","East","West","West"),
                     "Store" = c("Ingles","Ingles","Ingles","Ingles","Safeway","Safeway","Safeway","Safeway","Albertsons","Albertsons","Albertsons","Albertsons","Safeway","Safeway","Safeway","Safeway"),
                     "Total" = c(500000,520000,480000,485000,600000,600000,500000,515000,500100,520100,480100,485100,601010,601000,501000,515100))



    #Formatting data for Data table
    data<-dcast(data, State+Region~StoreRank+Year, value.var = 'Total')

    #Function to calculate difference between columns
    diff_calculation <- function(data) {
      mutate(data,
             `1_diff` = data$`1_2018`-data$`1_2017`,
             `2_diff` = data$`2_2018`-data$`2_2017`)}

    #Applying difference calculation function
    reform.data<-diff_calculation(data)

    #Changes the column names from numbers to letter to try and order columns 
    names(reform.data)<-gsub(x = colnames(reform.data), pattern="1_", replacement = "a_")
    names(reform.data)<-gsub(x = colnames(reform.data), pattern="2_", replacement = "b_")


    #Trying to order columns as State, Region, 1_2017, 1_2018, 1_diff, 2_2017, 2_2018, 2_diff, etc.
    ordered.data<-reform.data[,order(names(reform.data))]

    final.data<-ordered.data %>%
      select('State', 'Region', 'a_2017', 'a_2018', 'a_diff', 'b_2017', 'b_2018', 'b_diff')

在将dcast函数应用于包含大量列的数据之后，我希望找到一种更好的方法来计算列与顺序列之间的差异。

一种方法是使用长格式处理此问题，例如与tidyverse：

library(tidyverse)

long_format <- data %>%
  mutate(
    StoreRank = ifelse(StoreRank == 1, "a", "b"),
    diff_col = paste(StoreRank, "diff", sep = "_"),
    Year = paste(StoreRank, Year, sep = "_")
  ) %>% group_by(State, Region, StoreRank) %>%
  mutate(diff = Total - lag(Total)) %>%
  fill(diff, .direction = "up") %>% ungroup()

final_df <- bind_rows(
  long_format %>% select(State, Region, Year, Total),
  long_format %>% select(State, Region, Year = diff_col, Total = diff)) %>% 
  arrange(Year) %>%
  rowid_to_column %>%
  spread(Year, Total) %>%
  group_by(State, Region) %>%
  summarise_all(funs(first(na.omit(.)))) %>%
  select(-rowid)

输出：

# A tibble: 4 x 8
# Groups:   State [2]
  State Region a_2017 a_2018 a_diff b_2017 b_2018 b_diff
  <fct> <fct>   <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>  <dbl>
1 AK    East   500000 520000  20000 600000 600000      0
2 AK    West   480000 485000   5000 500000 515000  15000
3 AR    East   500100 520100  20000 601010 601000    -10
4 AR    West   480100 485100   5000 501000 515100  14100

使用dcast之后，是否有更好的方法来计算列之间的差异并重新排序列？
