比R中的mapply函数更快的方法

我最近问了一个question,我得到了一个有用的答案,但是考虑到我的大数据集(1.4万行),以下代码运行非常缓慢。

如何使用像here这样的mcmapply来加快速度?

这是代码:

within(df,
  count <- mapply(function(x, y) {
    in5year <- paste(animals.2[year %in% (x-4):x], collapse = "; ")
    sum(strsplit(in5year, "; ")[[1]] %in% strsplit(y, "; ")[[1]])
  }, year, animals.1)
)

使用并行的解决方案。使用mclapply代替mcmapply,因为它更快。

library(parallel)
library(dplyr)
library(microbenchmark)

df = data.frame(animals.1 = c("cat; dog; bird", "dog; bird", "bird", "dog"), 
                animals.2 = c("cat; dog; bird","dog; bird; seal", "bird", ""), 
                stringsAsFactors = F)

df <- replicate(10000,{df}, simplify=F) %>% do.call(rbind, .)
df$year <- seq(2000,2000 + nrow(df) - 1)

st_func <- function(df) {
  within(df,
         count <- mapply(function(x, y) {
           in5year <- paste(animals.2[year %in% (x-4):x], collapse = "; ")
           sum(strsplit(in5year, "; ")[[1]] %in% strsplit(y, "; ")[[1]])
         }, year, animals.1)
  )
}

mc_func <- function(df) {
  df$count <- mclapply(1:nrow(df), function(i) {
    x <- df$year[i]
    y <- df$animals.1[i]
    in5year <- paste(df$animals.2[df$year %in% (x-4):x], collapse = "; ")
    sum(strsplit(in5year, "; ")[[1]] %in% strsplit(y, "; ")[[1]])
  }, mc.cores=4) %>% unlist
  return(df)
}

identical(mc_func(df), st_func(df)) # TRUE

microbenchmark(mc_func(df), st_func(df), times=5)
