Introduction to ‘dataMojo’

Jiena Gu McLellan

2023-02-21

Built on the top of ‘data.table’, ‘dataMojo’ is a grammar of data manipulation with ‘data.table’, providing a consistent a series of utility functions that help you solve the most common data manipulation challenges:

Calculate the row wise percentage

Calculate the row wise percentage of a frequency table

library(dataMojo)
library(data.table)
test_df <- data.frame(
      Group = c("A", "B", "C"),
      Female = c(2,3,5),
      Male = c(10,11, 13)
    )
print(test_df)
#>   Group Female Male
#> 1     A      2   10
#> 2     B      3   11
#> 3     C      5   13
dataMojo::row_percent_convert(test_df, cols_rowsum = c("Female", "Male"))
#>   Group    Female      Male
#> 1     A 0.1666667 0.8333333
#> 2     B 0.2142857 0.7857143
#> 3     C 0.2777778 0.7222222

Calculate the survey type percentage table for single question

library(dataMojo)
library(data.table)
   test_dt <- data.table::data.table(
      Question = c(rep("Good", 3), rep("OK", 3), rep("Bad", 3)),
      Gender = c(rep("F", 4), rep("M", 5))
    )
   print(test_dt)
#>    Question Gender
#> 1:     Good      F
#> 2:     Good      F

#> 9:      Bad      M
   dataMojo::pivot_percent_at(test_dt, 
                                 question_col = "Question", aggregated_by_cols = "Gender")
#>    Gender Question.total Question.rate1valueGood Question.rate2valueOK

Calcuate the survey type percentage table for multiple question

library(dataMojo)
library(data.table)
test_dt <- data.table(
      Question1 = c(rep("Good", 3), rep("OK", 3), rep("Bad", 3)),
      Question2 = c(rep("Good", 2), rep("OK", 2), rep("Bad", 5)),
      Gender = c(rep("F", 4), rep("M", 5))
    )

Calculate the column wise percentage with desired numerator and denominator

This function is to calculate column-wise percentage in a new column with desired numerator columns and denominator columns. If denominator is 0, the percentage will be N/A.

library(dataMojo)
test_df <- data.frame(
      hc1 = c(2, 0, 1, 5, 6, 7, 10),
      hc2 = c(1, 0, 10, 12, 4, 1, 9 ),
      total = c(10, 2, 0, 39, 23, 27, 30)
    )
print(test_df)
#>   hc1 hc2 total
#> 1   2   1    10
#> 2   0   0     2
#> 3   1  10     0
#> 4   5  12    39
#> 5   6   4    23
#> 6   7   1    27
#> 7  10   9    30
dataMojo::col_cal_percent(test_df, 
                          new_col_name = "hc_percentage", 
                          numerator_cols = c("hc1", "hc2"), 
                          denominator_cols = "total"
                          ) 
#>   hc1 hc2 total hc_percentage
#> 1   2   1    10           30%
#> 2   0   0     2            0%
#> 3   1  10     0           N/A
#> 4   5  12    39           44%
#> 5   6   4    23           43%
#> 6   7   1    27           30%
#> 7  10   9    30           63%

Select columns

Select variables in a data table. You can also use predicate functions like is.numeric to select variables based on their properties (e.g. 1:3 selects the first column to the third column).

library(dataMojo)
library(data.table)
data("dt_dates")
dt_dates <- setDT(dt_dates)
dataMojo::select_cols(dt_dates, c("Start_Date", "Full_name"))
#>    Start_Date      Full_name
#> 1: 2019-05-01     Joe, Smith
#> 2: 2019-08-04 Alex, Robinson
#> 3: 2019-07-05     David, Big
#> 4: 2019-07-04     Julia, Joe
#> 5: 2019-04-27  Jessa, Oliver

Split a column

Split a column with its special pattern, and assign to multiple columns respectively. For example, split full name column to first name and last name column.

data("dt_dates")
library(data.table)
data("dt_dates")
dataMojo::str_split_col(dt_dates,
              by_col = "Full_name",
              by_pattern = ", ",
              match_to_names = c("First Name", "Last Name"))
#>    Start_Date   End_Date      Full_name First Name Last Name
#> 1: 2019-05-01 2019-06-01     Joe, Smith        Joe     Smith
#> 2: 2019-08-04 2019-08-09 Alex, Robinson       Alex  Robinson
#> 3: 2019-07-05 2019-08-14     David, Big      David       Big
#> 4: 2019-07-04 2019-07-05     Julia, Joe      Julia       Joe
#> 5: 2019-04-27 2019-05-10  Jessa, Oliver      Jessa    Oliver

Filter cases based on values

filter_all() is to return a data table with ALL columns (greater than/ less than/ equal to) a desired value.

data("dt_values")
dataMojo::filter_all(dt_values, operator = "l", .2)
#>            A1         A2          A3
#> 1: 0.05785895 0.12946847 0.087393370
#> 2: 0.01923819 0.01278740 0.098913282

#> 6: 0.18180095 0.03566878 0.047573949
#> 7: 0.10973857 0.14381518 0.001265888

filter_any() is to return a data table with ANY columns (greater than/ less than/ equal to) a desired value.

data("dt_values")
dataMojo::filter_any(dt_values, operator = "l", .1)
#>                A1          A2         A3
#>   1: 0.0005183129 0.785432329 0.33682885
#>   2: 0.5106083730 0.089597210 0.35534382
#>   3: 0.0140479084 0.754373487 0.68909671
#>   4: 0.0646897766 0.659908085 0.33536504
#>   5: 0.0864958912 0.824531891 0.67044835
#>  ---                                    
#> 258: 0.0368269614 0.781635831 0.68857844

#> 262: 0.9901734111 0.890964948 0.09758119

Similarly, filter_all_at() is to return a data table with ALL selected columns (greater than/ less than/ equal to) a desired value.

data("dt_values")
dataMojo::filter_all_at(dt_values, operator = "l", .1, c("A1", "A2"))
#>            A1         A2         A3
#> 1: 0.01923819 0.01278740 0.09891328
#> 2: 0.01134451 0.04448781 0.83378764
#> 3: 0.05962021 0.04581089 0.60585367
#> 4: 0.06966295 0.08512458 0.67216791
#> 5: 0.04913060 0.08084439 0.53249534
#> 6: 0.03235521 0.08765999 0.71016331

Similarly, filter_any_at() is to return a data table with ANY selected columns (greater than/ less than/ equal to) a desired value.

data("dt_values")
dataMojo::filter_any_at(dt_values, operator = "l", .1, c("A1", "A2"))
#>                A1          A2         A3
#>   1: 0.0005183129 0.785432329 0.33682885
#>   2: 0.5106083730 0.089597210 0.35534382
#>   3: 0.0140479084 0.754373487 0.68909671
#>   4: 0.0646897766 0.659908085 0.33536504
#>   5: 0.0864958912 0.824531891 0.67044835
#>  ---                                    
#> 183: 0.0158175936 0.416905575 0.79278071
#> 184: 0.0368269614 0.781635831 0.68857844
#> 185: 0.4405581164 0.008710776 0.06723523
#> 186: 0.0147206911 0.600409490 0.68254910
#> 187: 0.0277955788 0.508650963 0.28767138

Fill missing values

fill_NA_with() will fill NA value with a desired value in the selected columns. If fill_cols is All (same columns type), it will apply to the whole data table.

data("dt_missing")
dataMojo::fill_NA_with(dt_missing, fill_cols = c("Full_name"), fill_value = "pending")
#>    Start_Date   End_Date     Full_name
#> 1:       <NA> 2019-06-01       pending
#> 2: 2019-08-04 2019-08-09       pending
#> 3: 2019-07-05 2019-08-14    David, Big
#> 4: 2019-07-04 2019-07-05    Julia, Joe
#> 5: 2019-04-27 2019-05-10 Jessa, Oliver

Group by and summarize

dt_group_by() is to group by desired columns and summarize rows within groups.

data("dt_groups")
print(head(dt_groups))
#>           A1        A2 group2 group1
#> 1: 0.6312317 0.5596497      1      1
#> 2: 0.9343597 0.8214651      2      2
#> 3: 0.1394824 0.7866118      3      3
#> 4: 0.8566525 0.1973685      4      4
#> 5: 0.9658633 0.6671387      5      5
#> 6: 0.4725889 0.3767837      1      6

Now we see the dt_groups data table has A1, A2 as numeric columns, and group1, group2 as group infomation.

data("dt_groups")
dataMojo::dt_group_by(dt_groups, 
            group_by_cols = c("group1", "group2"), 
            summarize_at = "A1", 
            operation = "mean")
#>     group1 group2 summary_col
#>  1:      1      1   0.4953336
#>  2:      2      2   0.4948892
#>  3:      3      3   0.5314195
#>  4:      4      4   0.4958035
#>  5:      5      5   0.4825304
#>  6:      6      1   0.5213521
#>  7:      7      2   0.5305957
#>  8:      8      3   0.4768201
#>  9:      9      4   0.4855223
#> 10:     10      5   0.5002411

Now we want to group by group1 and group2, then fetch the first within each group, we can use get_row_group_by() function.

data("dt_groups")
dataMojo::get_row_group_by(dt_groups, 
                 group_by_cols = c("group1", "group2"), 
                 fetch_row = "first")
#>     group1 group2        A1        A2
#>  1:      1      1 0.6312317 0.5596497
#>  2:      2      2 0.9343597 0.8214651
#>  3:      3      3 0.1394824 0.7866118
#>  4:      4      4 0.8566525 0.1973685
#>  5:      5      5 0.9658633 0.6671387
#>  6:      6      1 0.4725889 0.3767837
#>  7:      7      2 0.3530244 0.6344632
#>  8:      8      3 0.2041025 0.7531322
#>  9:      9      4 0.8718080 0.6506606
#> 10:     10      5 0.3357608 0.9362194

or last row with same example.

data("dt_groups")
dataMojo::get_row_group_by(dt_groups, 
                 group_by_cols = c("group1", "group2"), 
                 fetch_row = "last")
#>     group1 group2         A1          A2
#>  1:      1      1 0.17294752 0.063375355
#>  2:      2      2 0.54620192 0.464936862
#>  3:      3      3 0.76486138 0.733507319
#>  4:      4      4 0.33303746 0.448011979
#>  5:      5      5 0.10455568 0.007968041
#>  6:      6      1 0.39483556 0.036755550
#>  7:      7      2 0.89792830 0.397020292
#>  8:      8      3 0.94427852 0.647780578
