r - 从频率表有效计算平均值和标准偏差

Question

假设我有以下频率表。

> print(dat)
V1    V2
1  1 11613
2  2  6517
3  3  2442
4  4   687
5  5   159
6  6    29

# V1 = Score
# V2 = Frequency

如何有效地计算均值和标准差？
屈服:SD ＝ 0.87 MEAN ＝ 1.66。
按频率复制分数需要太长时间才能计算。

Answer 1

卑鄙是容易的。 SD有点棘手(不能再次使用fastmean()，因为分母中有一个n-1。

> dat <- data.frame(freq=seq(6),value=runif(6)*100)
> fastmean <- function(dat) {
+   with(dat, sum(freq*value)/sum(freq) )
+ }
> fastmean(dat)
[1] 55.78302
> 
> fastRMSE <- function(dat) {
+   mu <- fastmean(dat)
+   with(dat, sqrt(sum(freq*(value-mu)^2)/(sum(freq)-1) ) )
+ }
> fastRMSE(dat)
[1] 34.9316
> 
> # To test
> expanded <- with(dat, rep(value,freq) )
> mean(expanded)
[1] 55.78302
> sd(expanded)
[1] 34.9316

请注意， fastRMSE计算两次 sum(freq)。消除这种情况可能会导致另一个较小的速度提升。

复制解决方案的条目数似乎为O(N ^ 2)。
fastmean解决方案似乎具有12ms左右的固定成本，在此之后它可以很好地扩展。
