r - dplyr group_by 和 cummean 函数

Question

我期望下面的代码输出一个三行的数据框，每行代表计算每组cyl平均值后的mpg的累积平均值:

library(dplyr)
mtcars %>%
arrange(cyl) %>%
group_by(cyl) %>%
summarise(running.mean.mpg = cummean(mpg))

这就是我期望发生的事情:

mean_cyl_4 <- mtcars %>% 
filter(cyl == 4) %>%
summarise(mean(mpg))

mean_cyl_4_6 <- mtcars %>% 
filter(cyl == 4 | cyl == 6) %>%
summarise(mean(mpg))

mean_cyl_4_6_8 <- mtcars %>% 
filter(cyl == 4 | cyl == 6 | cyl == 8) %>%
summarise(mean(mpg))

data.frame(cyl = c(4,6,8), running.mean.mpg = c(mean_cyl_4[1,1], mean_cyl_4_6[1,1], mean_cyl_4_6_8[1,1]))

  cyl running.mean.mpg
1   4     26.66364
2   6     23.97222
3   8     20.09062

为什么dplyr似乎忽略了group_by(cyl)？

Answer 1

require("dplyr")

mtcars %>%
  arrange(cyl) %>%
  group_by(cyl) %>%
  mutate(running.mean.mpg = cummean(mpg)) %>%
  select(cyl, running.mean.mpg)

# Source: local data frame [32 x 2]
# Groups: cyl
# 
# # cyl running.mean.mpg
# # 1    4         22.80000
# # 2    4         23.60000
# # 3    4         23.33333
# # 4    4         25.60000
# # 5    4         26.56000
# # 6    4         27.78333
# # 7    4         26.88571
# # 8    4         26.93750

为了进行实验，这也适用于 data.table。我的意思是，您还必须加载 dplyr 才能使用 cummean() 。

require("data.table")
DT <- as.data.table(mtcars)
DT[,j=list(
  running.mean.mpg = cummean(mpg)
  ), by="cyl"]
