Extracting a Data Portion

R-CMD-check CRAN status Codecov test coverage

{portion} is a small R package that helps to extract a data portion:

  1. works for vector, matrix, data.frame, and list objects

  2. the relative portion size can be selected

  3. allows to select first, last, random, similar or dissimilar data points

  4. can portion either row- or column-wise

Installation

install.packages("portion")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("loelschlaeger/portion")

Example

Can portion a vector:

portion(c(1:5, 51:55), proportion = 0.5, how = "similar")
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5
#> attr(,"indices")
#> [1] 1 2 3 4 5
portion(1:10, proportion = 0.4, how = "dissimilar", centers = 4)
#> [1] 1 3 5 8
#> attr(,"indices")
#> [1] 1 3 5 8

Can portion a matrix:

portion(matrix(LETTERS[1:24], nrow = 4), proportion = 0.5, how = "first")
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6]
#> [1,] "A"  "E"  "I"  "M"  "Q"  "U" 
#> [2,] "B"  "F"  "J"  "N"  "R"  "V" 
#> attr(,"indices")
#> [1] 1 2
portion(matrix(LETTERS[1:24], nrow = 4), proportion = 0.5, how = "first", byrow = FALSE)
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3]
#> [1,] "A"  "E"  "I" 
#> [2,] "B"  "F"  "J" 
#> [3,] "C"  "G"  "K" 
#> [4,] "D"  "H"  "L" 
#> attr(,"indices")
#> [1] 1 2 3

Can portion a data.frame:

portion(as.data.frame(diag(8)), proportion = 0.3, how = "random")
#>   V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8
#> 3  0  0  1  0  0  0  0  0
#> 4  0  0  0  1  0  0  0  0
#> 5  0  0  0  0  1  0  0  0
portion(as.data.frame(diag(8)), proportion = 0.3, how = "random", byrow = FALSE)
#>   V2 V4 V8
#> 1  0  0  0
#> 2  1  0  0
#> 3  0  0  0
#> 4  0  1  0
#> 5  0  0  0
#> 6  0  0  0
#> 7  0  0  0
#> 8  0  0  1

Can work on a list:

portion(list(1:5, diag(3), data.frame(1:3, 2:4)), proportion = 0.5, how = "last")
#> [[1]]
#> [1] 3 4 5
#> attr(,"indices")
#> [1] 3 4 5
#> 
#> [[2]]
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3]
#> [1,]    0    1    0
#> [2,]    0    0    1
#> attr(,"indices")
#> [1] 2 3
#> 
#> [[3]]
#>   X1.3 X2.4
#> 2    2    3
#> 3    3    4
