我想创建以下函数，我可以在其中发送列名并获得上述结果。但是，以下功能不起作用:

myfn = function(ddt, 'vnum1', 'vfac1', 'vch1'){
        mydt[,list(mean=mean('vnum1'), sd=sd('vnum1')),list('vfac1', 'vch1')]
}

如何发送列名(或列向量本身)以便从函数中获取结果？感谢您的帮助。

Answer 1

你可以试试

 myfn <- function(dt, v1, v2, v3){
   dt[, list(mean=mean(eval(as.name(v1))), sd=sd(eval(as.name(v1)))), 
        by=c(deparse(substitute(v2)), deparse(substitute(v3)))]
 }
 myfn(mydt, 'vnum1', vfac1, vch1)
 #   vfac1 vch1        mean         sd
 #1:     2    C  0.52725962 0.54536269
 #2:     1    D -1.50197212 0.71297571
 #3:     1    E  1.16354778 2.13889714
 #4:     2    D  0.22424664 0.31039463
 #5:     1    A  0.23359711 1.10743823
 #6:     3    E -0.56994386 0.07656659
 #7:     2    E  0.29615501 0.67455339
 #8:     3    C -0.67394994         NA
 #9:     1    C  0.17334177 0.73057650
#10:     4    D  0.16974065 0.74408077
#11:     4    A -0.56525356         NA
#12:     3    D -0.07897854 0.91401552
#13:     4    C -0.64065713 1.15972463
#14:     4    E -0.03087801 0.67895741
#15:     4    B -0.14897461 1.27683063
#16:     3    B  0.28487787 0.69502367
#17:     2    A -0.27824564 0.46022423
#18:     1    B  0.64822113         NA
#19:     2    B  0.05520500         NA

在列名称更改时也有效

 setnames(mydt, names(mydt), letters[1:3])
 head(myfn(mydt, 'a', b, c),2)
 #   b c       mean        sd
 #1: 2 C  0.5272596 0.5453627
 #2: 1 D -1.5019721 0.7129757

或者你可以删除deparse(substitute(.. 并且传递变量是带引号的字符串

 myfn <- function(dt, v1, v2, v3){
    dt[, list(mean=mean(eval(as.name(v1))), sd=sd(eval(as.name(v1)))), 
        by=c(v2, v3)]
 }
myfn(mydt, 'vnum1', 'vfac1', 'vch1')

这是另一种变体，它可以接受不带引号的字符串

 myfn <- function(dt, v1, v2, v3){
   args  <- as.list(match.call())
   e1 <- c(deparse(args$v2), deparse(args$v3))
   dt[, .(mean=mean(eval(args$v1)), sd=sd(eval(args$v1))), by=e1]
  }

  head(myfn(mydt, vnum1, vfac1, vch1),2)
  #  vfac1 vch1       mean        sd
  #1:     2    C  0.5272596 0.5453627
  #2:     1    D -1.5019721 0.7129757
