I'm looking to mutate a column for a random sample, eg, mutate_sample
. Does anyone know whether there is a dplyr/other tidyverse verb for this? Below is a reprex for the behavior I am looking for and an attempt to functionalize (which isn't running because I'm struggling with quasiquotation in if_else
).
library(dplyr)
library(tibble)
library(rlang)
# Setup -------------------------------------------------------------------
group_size <- 10
group_n <- 1
my_cars <-
mtcars %>%
rownames_to_column(var = "model") %>%
mutate(group = NA_real_, .after = model)
# Code to create mutated sample -------------------------------------------
group_sample <-
my_cars %>%
filter(is.na(group)) %>%
slice_sample(n = group_size) %>%
pull(model)
my_cars %>%
mutate(group = if_else(model %in% group_sample, group_n, group)) %>%
head()
#> model group mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
#> 1 Mazda RX4 NA 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.620 16.46 0 1 4 4
#> 2 Mazda RX4 Wag 1 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.875 17.02 0 1 4 4
#> 3 Datsun 710 1 22.8 4 108 93 3.85 2.320 18.61 1 1 4 1
#> 4 Hornet 4 Drive NA 21.4 6 258 110 3.08 3.215 19.44 1 0 3 1
#> 5 Hornet Sportabout NA 18.7 8 360 175 3.15 3.440 17.02 0 0 3 2
#> 6 Valiant NA 18.1 6 225 105 2.76 3.460 20.22 1 0 3 1
# Function to create mutated sample ---------------------------------------
#
# Note: doesn't run because of var in if_else
# mutate_sample <- function(data, var, id, n, value) {
# # browser()
# sample <-
# data %>%
# filter(is.na({{var}})) %>%
# slice_sample(n = n) %>%
# pull({{id}})
#
# data %>%
# mutate(var = if_else({{id}} %in% sample, value, {{var}}))
# }
#
# mutate_sample(my_cars, group, model, group_size, group_n)

Looking through SO, I found this related post: Mutate column as input to sample
I think you could achieve your goal with this two options.
With dplyr:
mtcars %>% mutate(group = sample(`length<-`(rep(group_n, group_size), n())))
or with base R:
mtcars[sample(nrow(mtcars), group_size), "group"] <- group_n
If you need an external function to handle it, you could go with:
mutate_sample <- function(.data, .var, .size, .value) {
mutate(.data, {{.var}} := sample(`length<-`(rep(.value, .size), n())))
}
mtcars %>% mutate_sample(group, group_size, group_n)
or
mutate_sample_rbase <- function(.data, .var, .size, .value) {
.data[sample(nrow(.data), size = min(.size, nrow(.data))),
deparse(substitute(.var))] <- .value
.data
}
mtcars %>% mutate_sample(group, group_size, group_n)
Note that if .size
is bigger than the number of rows of .data
, .var
will be a constant equal to .value
.
EDIT
If you're interested in keeping the old group, I suggest you another way to handle the problem:
library(dplyr)
# to understand this check out ?sample
resample <- function(x, ...){
x[sample.int(length(x), ...)]
}
# this is to avoid any error in case you choose a size bigger than the available rows to select in one group
resample_max <- function (x, size) {
resample(x, size = min(size, length(x)))
}
mutate_sample <- function(.data, .var, .size, .value) {
# creare column if it doesnt exist
if(! deparse(substitute(.var)) %in% names(.data)) .data <- mutate(.data, {{.var}} := NA)
# replace missing values randomly keeping existing non-missing values
mutate(.data, {{.var}} := replace({{.var}}, resample_max(which(is.na({{.var}})), .size), .value))
}
group_size <- 10
mtcars %>%
mutate_sample(group, group_size, 1) %>%
mutate_sample(group, group_size, 2)

Notice that this solution works even with grouped_df
class (what you get after a dplyr::group_by
): from each group [made by dplyr::group_by
] a sample of .size
units will be selected.
mtcars %>%
group_by(am) %>%
mutate_sample(group, 10, 1) %>%
ungroup() %>%
count(group)
#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#> group n
#> <dbl> <int>
#> 1 1 20 # two groups, each with 10!
#> 2 NA 12
