I'm trying to get multiple summary statistics in R/S-PLUS grouped by categorical column in one shot. I found couple of functions, but all of them do one statistic per call, like aggregate()
.
data <- c(62, 60, 63, 59, 63, 67, 71, 64, 65, 66, 68, 66,
71, 67, 68, 68, 56, 62, 60, 61, 63, 64, 63, 59)
grp <- factor(rep(LETTERS[1:4], c(4,6,6,8)))
df <- data.frame(group=grp, dt=data)
mg <- aggregate(df$dt, by=df$group, FUN=mean)
mg <- aggregate(df$dt, by=df$group, FUN=sum)
What I'm looking for is to get multiple statistics for the same group like mean, min, max, std, ...etc in one call, is that doable?
tapply
I'll put in my two cents for tapply()
.
tapply(df$dt, df$group, summary)
You could write a custom function with the specific statistics you want or format the results:
tapply(df$dt, df$group,
function(x) format(summary(x), scientific = TRUE))
$A
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
"5.900e+01" "5.975e+01" "6.100e+01" "6.100e+01" "6.225e+01" "6.300e+01"
$B
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
"6.300e+01" "6.425e+01" "6.550e+01" "6.600e+01" "6.675e+01" "7.100e+01"
$C
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
"6.600e+01" "6.725e+01" "6.800e+01" "6.800e+01" "6.800e+01" "7.100e+01"
$D
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
"5.600e+01" "5.975e+01" "6.150e+01" "6.100e+01" "6.300e+01" "6.400e+01"
data.table
The data.table
package offers a lot of helpful and fast tools for these types of operation:
library(data.table)
setDT(df)
> df[, as.list(summary(dt)), by = group]
group Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
1: A 59 59.75 61.0 61 62.25 63
2: B 63 64.25 65.5 66 66.75 71
3: C 66 67.25 68.0 68 68.00 71
4: D 56 59.75 61.5 61 63.00 64
dplyr package could be nice alternative to this problem:
library(dplyr)
df %>%
group_by(group) %>%
summarize(mean = mean(dt),
sum = sum(dt))
To get 1st quadrant and 3rd quadrant
df %>%
group_by(group) %>%
summarize(q1 = quantile(dt, 0.25),
q3 = quantile(dt, 0.75))
Using Hadley Wickham's purrr package this is quite simple. Use split
to split the passed data_frame
into groups, then use map
to apply the summary
function to each group.
library(purrr)
df %>% split(.$group) %>% map(summary)
有很多不同的方法可以解决这个问题,但我偏爱在psych
包中的describeBy
:
describeBy(df$dt, df$group, mat = TRUE)
take a look at the plyr
package. Specifically, ddply
ddply(df, .(group), summarise, mean=mean(dt), sum=sum(dt))
after 5 long years I'm sure not much attention is going to be received for this answer, But still to make all options complete, here is the one with data.table
library(data.table)
setDT(df)[ , list(mean_gr = mean(dt), sum_gr = sum(dt)) , by = .(group)]
# group mean_gr sum_gr
#1: A 61 244
#2: B 66 396
#3: C 68 408
#4: D 61 488
The psych
package has a great option for grouped summary stats:
library(psych)
describeBy(dt, group="grp")
produces lots of useful stats including mean, median, range, sd, se.
Besides describeBy
, the doBy
package is an another option. It provides much of the functionality of SAS PROC SUMMARY. Details: http://www.statmethods.net/stats/descriptives.html
While some of the other approaches work, this is pretty close to what you were doing and only uses base r. If you know the aggregate command this may be more intuitive.
with( df , aggregate( dt , by=list(group) , FUN=summary) )
Not sure why the popular skimr
package hasn't been brought up. Their function skim()
was meant to replace the base R summary()
and supports dplyr
grouping:
library(dplyr)
library(skimr)
starwars %>%
group_by(gender) %>%
skim()

I would also recommend gtsummary (written by Daniel D. Sjoberg et al). You can generate publication-ready or presentation-ready tables with the package. A gtsummary solution to the example given in the question would be:
library(tidyverse)
library(gtsummary)
data <- c(62, 60, 63, 59, 63, 67, 71, 64, 65, 66, 68, 66,
71, 67, 68, 68, 56, 62, 60, 61, 63, 64, 63, 59)
grp <- factor(rep(LETTERS[1:4], c(4,6,6,8)))
df <- data.frame(group=grp, dt=data)
tbl_summary(df,
by=group,
type = all_continuous() ~ "continuous2",
statistic = all_continuous() ~ c("{mean} ({sd})","{median} ({IQR})", "{min}- {max}"), ) %>%
add_stat_label(label = dt ~ c("Mean (SD)","Median (Inter Quant. Range)", "Min- Max"))
which then gives you the output below
Characteristic | A, N = 4 | B, N = 6 | C, N = 6 | D, N = 8 |
---|---|---|---|---|
dt | ||||
Mean (SD) | 61.0 (1.8) | 66.0 (2.8) | 68.0 (1.7) | 61.0 (2.6) |
Meian (IQR) | 61.0 (2.5) | 65.5 (2.5) | 68.0 (0.8) | 61.5 (3.2) |
Min- Max | 59.0 - 63.0 | 63.0 - 71.0 | 66.0 - 71.0 | 56.0 - 64.0 |
You can also export the table as word document by doing the following:
Table1 <- tbl_summary(df,
by=group,
type = all_continuous() ~ "continuous2",
statistic = all_continuous() ~ c("{mean} ({sd})","{median} ({IQR})", "{min}- {max}"), ) %>%
add_stat_label(label = dt ~ c("Mean (SD)","Median (Inter Quant. Range)", "Min- Max"))
tmp1 <- "~path/name.docx"
Table1 %>%
as_flex_table() %>%
flextable::save_as_docx(path=tmp1)
You can use it for regression outputs as well. See the package reference manual and the package webpage for further insights
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gtsummary/index.html https://www.danieldsjoberg.com/gtsummary/index.html
this may also work,
spl <- split(mtcars, mtcars$cyl)
list.of.summaries <- lapply(spl, function(x) data.frame(apply(x[,3:6], 2, summary)))
list.of.summaries
First, it depends on your version of R. If you've passed 2.11, you can use aggreggate with multiple results functions(summary, by instance, or your own function). If not, you can use the answer made by Justin.
With more recent (>1.0) versions of dplyr<\/code> you can do so with
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarise(as_tibble(rbind(summary(Sepal.Length))))
