Create new binary variables from single string of levels recorded for each observation

Create new binary variables from single string of levels recorded for each observation


I have been fiddling with the Kaggle West-Nile Virus competition data as a means to practice fitting a spatio-temporal GAM. The first few rows of the (somewhat processed from the original CSV) weather data are below (plus the first 20 rows a dput()ed output at the end of the question).

Note the CodeSum variable. Each element of CodeSum is an observation on significant weather phenomena. Some observations are missing (NA), some have no data but are not missing, some have a single type of significant weather, and others have several significant weather observations for the same day.

What I want is to create a new data frame with n new binary variables (n would be the number of unique values in CodeSum) with an NA if missing, a 1 is weather indicator observed, and a 0 if not observed.

I initially tried tidyr::separate() but this either needed all indicators to be present for all observations or it treated them in order; the first indicator regardless of what that indicator was, was always assigned to the first binary variable.

I do have a solution:

expandLevs <- function(x, set) {      m <- matrix(0, ncol = length(set), nrow = 1L)      colnames(m) <- set      nax <- is.na(x)      m[, nax] <- NA      if (!all(nax)) {          idx <- x[!nax]          m[, idx] <- 1      }      m  }  cs <- with(weather, strsplit(as.character(CodeSum), " "))  levs <- with(weather,               sort(unique(unlist(strsplit(levels(CodeSum), " ")))))  cs <- lapply(cs, expandLevs, set = levs)  cs <- do.call("rbind", cs)  cs <- data.frame(cs, check.names = FALSE)  cs <- lapply(cs, factor, levels = c(0,1))  cs <- data.frame(cs, check.names = FALSE)  

Which gives

> cs       BR   HZ   RA  1      2      3     1    0    0  4     1    1    0  5      6     0    1    0  7     0    0    1  8      9      10     11     12     13    0    0    1  14     15    1    0    0  16    0    1    0  17    1    1    0  18    1    1    0  19    1    0    0  20    1    1    0  

for the 20 rows of data in weather (below).

But this seems clunky at best.

Am I overlooking a simpler way to create the binary variables?

Expected output also included as dput()ed code at the end.

Answer by Joshua Ulrich for Create new binary variables from single string of levels recorded for each observation


I would create cs and lev, as you did, but I would create the matrix by pre-allocating a matrix of NA and filling in the non-NA rows in a loop.

cs <- with(weather, strsplit(as.character(CodeSum), " "))  levs <- with(weather, unique(unlist(strsplit(levels(CodeSum), " "))))  # pre-allocate the integer matrix to store the indicator values  ind <- matrix(NA_integer_, length(cs), length(levs), , list(NULL,levs))  # loop over each row   for (i in seq_along(cs)) {    if (is.na(cs[[i]][1]))  # skip this row if cs[[i]] is NA      next    ind[i,] <- 0            # not NA, so set all columns to 0    ind[i,cs[[i]]] <- 1     # set columns in cs[[i]] to 1  }  

ind should match your output, with the exception that output is a data.frame of factors and ind is an integer matrix.

Answer by jennybryan for Create new binary variables from single string of levels recorded for each observation


Let it be known that I removed all pipes from my original solution. This overlaps a lot with that of the OP, but uses explicit conversion to factor, a call to table(), and plyr::ldply() to glue it all back together.

x <- strsplit(as.character(weather$CodeSum), "\\s+")  x_is_na <- is.na(x)  levs <- sort(unique(unlist(x)))  x_out <- plyr::ldply(x, function(x) table(factor(x, levels = levs)))  x_out[x_is_na, ] <- NA  x_out  # BR HZ RA  # NA NA NA  # NA NA NA  #  1  0  0  #  1  1  0  # NA NA NA  #  0  1  0  #  0  0  1  # NA NA NA  # NA NA NA  # NA NA NA  # NA NA NA  # NA NA NA  #  0  0  1  # NA NA NA  #  1  0  0  #  0  1  0  #  1  1  0  #  1  1  0  #  1  0  0  #  1  1  0  

Answer by BrodieG for Create new binary variables from single string of levels recorded for each observation


Here is the version with just the represented columns:

dat <- setNames(strsplit(as.character(weather$CodeSum), " "), format(seq(nrow(weather))))  na <- is.na(weather$CodeSum)    t(table(stack(dat))) * NA^na     # Credit Akrun for NA^na  

Produces:

    values  ind  BR HZ RA     1              2              3  1  0  0     4  1  1  0     5              6  0  1  0     7  0  0  1     8              9             10             11             12             13  0  0  1    14             15  1  0  0    16  0  1  0    17  1  1  0    18  1  1  0    19  1  0  0    20  1  1  0  

Personally I prefer the missing values rather than the nasty stuff, but that's just me.


OLD VERSION, full table

I don't think this ends up being much simpler, but it is in base for whatever that's worth:

levs <- sort(unique(unlist(strsplit(levels(weather$CodeSum), " "))))  dat <- setNames(strsplit(as.character(weather$CodeSum), " "), format(seq(nrow(weather))))  na <- is.na(weather$CodeSum)    `[<-`(t(table(transform(stack(dat), values=factor(values, levs)))), na, NA)  

Produces:
