melt, dcast ==> gather, spread

#--- --- --- -----
table4a %>% as.data.table()
moltenDD <- as.data.table(table4a) %>% melt.data.table(id.vars="country", variable.name="year", value.name="case")
moltenDD %>% dcast.data.table(formula=country~year, value.var="case")

table4a
dcastDD <- table4a %>% gather(`1999`, `2000`, key="year", value="case")
dcastDD %>% spread(key=year, value=case)

#--- --- --- -----
table2 %>% as.data.table()
dcastDD <- as.data.table(table2) %>% dcast.data.table(country+year ~ type, value.var="count")
dcastDD %>% melt.data.table(id.vars=c('country','year'),\tvariable.name="cases", value.name="count") 

table2
moltenDD <- table2 %>% spread(key=type, value=count)
#table2 %>% spread(key=year, value=count)

melt, dcast

DT0 <- data.table(x=1:20, y1=rnorm(20), y2=rnorm(20,.5))
#      x          y1          y2

moltenDT <- DT0 %>% melt.data.table(id.vars=c("x"), measure.vars=c("y1","y2"),

dcastDT <- moltenDT %>% dcast.data.table(formula = x ~ Var,
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   value.var = c('Val'))

dcast하면 key 가 생긴다.

all.equal(DT0, dcastDT)
# [1] "Datasets has different keys. 'target' has no key. 'current': x."
DT0 %>% key()         # NULL
dcastDT %>% key()     # [1] "x"

DT0 %>% setkey(x)
identical(DT0, dcastDT) # TRUE

Timeserise to data.table

melt.data.table() & dcast.data.table()

data.table에 맞게 reshape2 package의 함수를 수정한 dcast & melt

Convert DT to long form where each dob is a separate observation.

Examples

Q1. Calculate total number of rows by month and then sort on descending order

mydata[, .N, by = month] [order(-N)]

The .N operator is used to find count.  

Q2. Find top 3 months with high mean arrival delay

mydata[, .(mean_arr_delay = mean(arr_delay, na.rm = TRUE)), by = month][order(-mean_arr_delay)][1:3]

Q3. Find origin of flights having average total delay is greater than 20 minutes

mydata[, lapply(.SD, mean, na.rm = TRUE), .SDcols = c("arr_delay", "dep_delay"), by = origin][(arr_delay + dep_delay) > 20]

Q4.  Extract average of arrival and departure delays for carrier == 'DL' by 'origin' and 'dest' variables

mydata[carrier == "DL",
        lapply(.SD, mean, na.rm = TRUE),
        by = .(origin, dest),
        .SDcols = c("arr_delay", "dep_delay")]

Q5. Pull first value of 'air_time' by 'origin' and then sum the returned values when it is greater than 300

mydata[, .SD[1], .SDcols="air_time", by=origin][air_time > 300, sum(air_time)]
