使用cut（）的離散容器

Question

我想基於StartAge列的離散bin在我的dataframe age.model中繪制數據[使用點陣的xyplot（）]。

我正在使用以下代碼：

# set up boundaries for intervals/bins
breaks <- c(0,3,4,5,6,8,13,15,17,18,19,20,22)
# specify interval/bin labels
labels <- c("<3", "3-4)", "4-5)","5-6)", "6-8)","8-13)", "13-15)","15-17)","17-18)","18-19)","19-20)",">=20")
# bucketing data points into bins
bins <- cut(age.model$StartAge, breaks, include.lowest = T, right=FALSE, labels=labels)
# inspect bins
summary(bins)

在cut（）的第一個參數中，我指定了要離散化的列。 但是，返回的因子不包括整個DF。 我怎樣才能做到這一點？

使用dput可重現：

structure(list(Height = c(0.207224416925809, -1.19429150954007, 
0.0247585682642494, 0.023546515879641, 1.51423735121426, -1.09376538778425, 
-0.125209484617016, -0.63639210765747, 0.305071992864995, -0.422021082477656
), Weight = c(-0.366133564723644, -1.06969961340686, -0.0793604259237282, 
-0.708230200986797, 1.71593234004357, -0.685215310472794, -1.20353653394014, 
-0.490399232488568, 0.742874184424376, -0.331519044995803), Training = c(19, 
27, 27, 24, 35, 23, 15, 14, 47, 7), StartAge = c(13, 19, 20, 
20, 14, 2, 8, 4, 17, 18)), row.names = c("1", "2", "3", "4", 
"5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"), class = "data.frame")

Answer 1

如果您使用xyplot 探索您的數據，可以考慮使用equal.count()或shingle()在你的代碼。 如對第一個示例所示，樂趣（毫無頭緒）的樂趣在於，對於較低的StartAge箱，重量和高度之間的近似線性關系似乎不成立。

# Starting with data in age.model
  library(lattice)
  xyplot(Weight ~ Height | equal.count(StartAge), age.model, type = c("p", "r"))

equal.count的默認箱equal.count為6。可以輕松更改以瀏覽其他分組：

# Create four groups of equal counts to explore
  xyplot(Weight ~ Height | equal.count(StartAge, 4), age.model, type = c("p", "r"))

shingle()函數允許重疊的bin，如下所示。

# Create three groups that overlapping with each other 
  bins <- cbind(lower = c(0,8,16), upper = c(13,18,24))
  xyplot(Weight ~ Height | shingle(StartAge, bins), age.model, type = c("p", "r"))

Answer 2

要將bin添加到數據框，只需在新列中對其進行影響：

age.model$bins <- bins
