我有一个有两列的数据帧。第一列包含类别，如“第一”，“第二”，“第三”，第二列有数字，表示我从“类别”中看到特定组的次数。
例如:
Category Frequency
First 10
First 15
First 5
Second 2
Third 14
Third 20
Second 3
我想按类别对数据进行排序，并将所有频率相加:
Category Frequency
First 30
Second 5
Third 34
在R中怎么做呢?

再加上第三个选项:
require(doBy)
summaryBy(Frequency~Category, data=yourdataframe, FUN=sum)
编辑:这是一个非常古老的答案。现在，我建议使用group_by和来自dplyr的summarise，如@docendo answer。
其他回答
从dplyr 1.0.0开始，可以使用across()函数:
df %>%
group_by(Category) %>%
summarise(across(Frequency, sum))
Category Frequency
<chr> <int>
1 First 30
2 Second 5
3 Third 34
如果对多个变量感兴趣:
df %>%
group_by(Category) %>%
summarise(across(c(Frequency, Frequency2), sum))
Category Frequency Frequency2
<chr> <int> <int>
1 First 30 55
2 Second 5 29
3 Third 34 190
以及使用select helper来选择变量:
df %>%
group_by(Category) %>%
summarise(across(starts_with("Freq"), sum))
Category Frequency Frequency2 Frequency3
<chr> <int> <int> <dbl>
1 First 30 55 110
2 Second 5 29 58
3 Third 34 190 380
样本数据:
df <- read.table(text = "Category Frequency Frequency2 Frequency3
1 First 10 10 20
2 First 15 30 60
3 First 5 15 30
4 Second 2 8 16
5 Third 14 70 140
6 Third 20 120 240
7 Second 3 21 42",
header = TRUE,
stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
rcs提供的答案很有效，也很简单。然而，如果你正在处理更大的数据集，需要性能提升，有一个更快的替代方案:
library(data.table)
data = data.table(Category=c("First","First","First","Second","Third", "Third", "Second"),
Frequency=c(10,15,5,2,14,20,3))
data[, sum(Frequency), by = Category]
# Category V1
# 1: First 30
# 2: Second 5
# 3: Third 34
system.time(data[, sum(Frequency), by = Category] )
# user system elapsed
# 0.008 0.001 0.009
让我们用data.frame和上面的比较一下:
data = data.frame(Category=c("First","First","First","Second","Third", "Third", "Second"),
Frequency=c(10,15,5,2,14,20,3))
system.time(aggregate(data$Frequency, by=list(Category=data$Category), FUN=sum))
# user system elapsed
# 0.008 0.000 0.015
如果你想保留列，这是语法:
data[,list(Frequency=sum(Frequency)),by=Category]
# Category Frequency
# 1: First 30
# 2: Second 5
# 3: Third 34
数据集越大，这种差异就越明显，如下图所示:
data = data.table(Category=rep(c("First", "Second", "Third"), 100000),
Frequency=rnorm(100000))
system.time( data[,sum(Frequency),by=Category] )
# user system elapsed
# 0.055 0.004 0.059
data = data.frame(Category=rep(c("First", "Second", "Third"), 100000),
Frequency=rnorm(100000))
system.time( aggregate(data$Frequency, by=list(Category=data$Category), FUN=sum) )
# user system elapsed
# 0.287 0.010 0.296
对于多个聚合，可以按如下方式组合lapply和.SD
data[, lapply(.SD, sum), by = Category]
# Category Frequency
# 1: First 30
# 2: Second 5
# 3: Third 34
再加上第三个选项:
require(doBy)
summaryBy(Frequency~Category, data=yourdataframe, FUN=sum)
编辑:这是一个非常古老的答案。现在，我建议使用group_by和来自dplyr的summarise，如@docendo answer。
对于dplyr 1.1.0及以上版本，你可以在总结中使用.by。这个快捷方式避免使用group_by，并返回一个未分组的数据帧:
library(dplyr)
x %>%
summarise(Frequency = sum(Frequency), .by = Category)
library(tidyverse)
x <- data.frame(Category= c('First', 'First', 'First', 'Second', 'Third', 'Third', 'Second'),
Frequency = c(10, 15, 5, 2, 14, 20, 3))
count(x, Category, wt = Frequency)
