rlang：通过...传递多个组来收集（）

Question

假设我想计算自定义函数中任意数量的组的 mean、min 和 max。

玩具数据是这样的：

library(tidyverse)
df <- tibble(
  Gender = c("m", "f", "f", "m", "m", 
             "f", "f", "f", "m", "f"),
  IQ = rnorm(10, 100, 15),
  Other = runif(10),
  Test = rnorm(10),
  group2 = c("A", "A", "A", "A", "A",
             "B", "B", "B", "B", "B")
)

要为两个组（性别，组 2）实现此目的，我可以使用

df %>% 
  gather(Variable, Value, -c(Gender, group2)) %>% 
  group_by(Gender, group2, Variable) %>% 
  summarise(mean = mean(Value), 
            min = min(Value), 
            max = max(Value))

可以与来自 rlang 和

的新 curly-curly 运算符集成

descriptive_by <- function(data, group1, group2) {
  data %>% 
    gather(Variable, Value, -c({{ group1 }}, {{ group2 }})) %>% 
    group_by({{ group1 }}, {{ group2 }}, Variable) %>% 
    summarise(mean = mean(Value), 
              min = min(Value), 
              max = max(Value))
}

通常，我会假设我可以用 ... 替换指定的组，但它似乎并不像那样工作

descriptive_by <- function(data, ...) {
  data %>% 
    gather(Variable, Value, -c(...)) %>% 
    group_by(..., Variable) %>% 
    summarise(mean = mean(Value), 
              min = min(Value), 
              max = max(Value))
}

因为它 returns 错误

Error in map_lgl(.x, .p, ...) : object 'Gender' not found

这是一种可能的解决方案，其中 ... 直接传递给 group_by，而 gather 只收集数字列（因为我认为它永远不应该收集non-numeric 列独立于输入 ...)。

library(tidyverse)

set.seed(1)

## data
df <- tibble(
    Gender = c("m", "f", "f", "m", "m", 
        "f", "f", "f", "m", "f"),
    IQ = rnorm(10, 100, 15),
    Other = runif(10),
    Test = rnorm(10),
    group2 = c("A", "A", "A", "A", "A",
        "B", "B", "B", "B", "B")
)

## function
descriptive_by <- function(data, ...) {

  data %>% 
      gather(Variable, Value, names(select_if(., is.numeric))) %>% 
      group_by(..., Variable) %>% 
      summarise(mean = mean(Value), 
          min = min(Value), 
          max = max(Value))
}

descriptive_by(df, Gender, group2)
#> # A tibble: 12 x 6
#> # Groups:   Gender, group2 [4]
#>    Gender group2 Variable    mean      min     max
#>    <chr>  <chr>  <chr>      <dbl>    <dbl>   <dbl>
#>  1 f      A      IQ        95.1    87.5    103.   
#>  2 f      A      Other      0.432   0.212    0.652
#>  3 f      A      Test       0.464  -0.0162   0.944
#>  4 f      B      IQ       100.     87.7    111.   
#>  5 f      B      Other      0.281   0.0134   0.386
#>  6 f      B      Test       0.599   0.0746   0.919
#>  7 m      A      IQ       106.     90.6    124.   
#>  8 m      A      Other      0.442   0.126    0.935
#>  9 m      A      Test       0.457  -0.0449   0.821
#> 10 m      B      IQ       109.    109.     109.   
#> 11 m      B      Other      0.870   0.870    0.870
#> 12 m      B      Test      -1.99   -1.99    -1.99

复杂的部分是弄清楚如何否定 NSE 变量（xxx vs -xxx）。这是我将如何处理它的示例：

desc_by <- function(dat, ...) {

  drops <- lapply(enquos(...), function(d) call("-", d))

  dat %>% 
    gather(var, val, !!!drops) %>% 
    group_by(...) %>% 
    summarise_at(vars(val), funs(min, mean, max))

}

desc_by(head(iris), Species, Petal.Width)

# A tibble: 2 x 5
# Groups:   Species [1]
  Species Petal.Width   min  mean   max
  <fct>         <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 setosa          0.2   1.3  3.18   5.1
2 setosa          0.4   1.7  3.67   5.4

您仍然必须使用 enquos 和 !!! 才能将 - 应用于每个变量，否则 ... 可用于分组等不变.因此，您根本不需要新的 "mustache"/curly-curly 运算符。
