R:如何聚合数据但保留非聚合列中的信息？

Question

找了两天的解决方案至今无果。

我有来自不同观察点的鸟类观察结果。观察员记下该物种、他们在哪里看到过它们以及持续了多长时间。

现在碰巧从不同的点，对同一区域进行观测，但我们只想处理一个区域中每个物种的最大值。

所以首先，我按观测点、物种和区域汇总了数据，并总结了时间。

dt.agg <- aggregate(time ~ observp + species + time, dt, sum)

UUPS:完全错误的命令:

应该是:

dt.agg <- aggregate(time ~ observp + species + area, dt, sum)



   observp species area time
1       1a  Rm    A1        43.878488
2       1c  Rm    A1       296.152707
3        2  Rm    A1        29.546790
4       1a Swm    A1        34.127713
5       1b Swm    A1        11.076880
6        2 Swm    A1         8.771703

这工作正常。但是现在，我只需要某个地区某个物种的时间最大值，但我还需要知道这些数字是从哪个观察点获取的。

在我的示例中，应为 A1 中的 Rm 保留第 2 行，而应删除第 1 行和第 3 行。这同样适用于第 4 行(保留)和第 5 + 6 行(丢弃)

当我随时间和最大值对物种和面积进行另一次聚合时，观察点的信息会丢失。

有人可以告诉我实现此目标的方法吗？

附注请随意给这个问题一个更好的标题

更新:尝试按照建议发布 dput(head(dt,100))-sample。原始数据集有 1300 多行。希望这就是您想要的。

Answer 1

您还可以查看另一个 base 函数，by。输出是一个列表，其中每个元素都是 INDICES 不同组合的结果。

bb <- by(data = df, INDICES = list(df$species, df$area), function(x) x[which.max(x$time), ])
bb
# : Rm
# : A1
# observp species area     time
# 2      1c      Rm   A1 296.1527
# -------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# : Swm
# : A1
# observp species area     time
# 4      1a     Swm   A1 34.12771

如果要将列表转换为 data.frame:

df2 <- do.call(rbind, bb)
df2
# observp species area      time
# 2      1c      Rm   A1 296.15271
# 4      1a     Swm   A1  34.12771

另一种选择:

library(plyr)
ddply(.data = df, .variables = .(species, area), subset,
  time == max(time))
