如何按 data.table 中的十分位数组计算统计数据

我有一个 data.table，想按组计算统计数据。

R) set.seed(1)
R) DT=data.table(a=rnorm(100),b=rnorm(100))

这些组应该定义为

R) quantile(DT$a,probs=seq(.1,.9,.1))
           10%            20%            30%            40%            50%            60%            70%            80%            90% 
-1.05265747329 -0.61386923071 -0.37534201964 -0.07670312896  0.11390916079  0.37707993057  0.58121734252  0.77125359976  1.18106507751 

我怎样才能计算出平均值b每个垃圾箱，说如果b=-.5我在里面[-0.61386923071,-0.37534201964]所以在垃圾箱里3

怎么样 ：

> DT[, mean(b), keyby=cut(a,quantile(a,probs=seq(.1,.9,.1)))]
                cut          V1
1:               NA -0.31359818
2:   (-1.05,-0.614] -0.14103182
3:  (-0.614,-0.375] -0.33474492
4: (-0.375,-0.0767]  0.20827735
5:  (-0.0767,0.114]  0.14890251
6:    (0.114,0.377]  0.16685304
7:    (0.377,0.581]  0.07086979
8:    (0.581,0.771]  0.17950572
9:     (0.771,1.18] -0.04951607

为了查看该 NA（并检查结果），我接下来做了：

> DT[, list(mean(b),.N,list(a)), keyby=cut(a,quantile(a,probs=seq(.1,.9,.1)))]
                cut          V1  N                                                                                                                      V3

旁白：我已经退回了list列（每个单元格本身就是一个向量），可以快速查看进入容器的值，只是为了检查。data.table打印时显示逗号（并且仅显示每个单元格的前 6 项），但每个单元格V3实际上有一个数值向量。

所以第一个和最后一个之外的值break一起编码为 NA。我不清楚如何分辨cut不要那样做。所以我只是添加了 -Inf 和 +Inf ：

> DT[,list(mean(b),.N),keyby=cut(a,c(-Inf,quantile(a,probs=seq(.1,.9,.1)),+Inf))]
                 cut          V1  N
 1:     (-Inf,-1.05] -0.16938368 10
 2:   (-1.05,-0.614] -0.14103182 10
 3:  (-0.614,-0.375] -0.33474492 10
 4: (-0.375,-0.0767]  0.20827735 10
 5:  (-0.0767,0.114]  0.14890251 10
 6:    (0.114,0.377]  0.16685304 10
 7:    (0.377,0.581]  0.07086979 10
 8:    (0.581,0.771]  0.17950572 10
 9:     (0.771,1.18] -0.04951607 10
10:      (1.18, Inf] -0.45781268 10

这样更好。或者：

> DT[, list(mean(b),.N), keyby=cut(a,quantile(a,probs=seq(0,1,.1)),include=TRUE)]
                 cut          V1  N
 1:    [-2.21,-1.05] -0.16938368 10
 2:   (-1.05,-0.614] -0.14103182 10
 3:  (-0.614,-0.375] -0.33474492 10
 4: (-0.375,-0.0767]  0.20827735 10
 5:  (-0.0767,0.114]  0.14890251 10
 6:    (0.114,0.377]  0.16685304 10
 7:    (0.377,0.581]  0.07086979 10
 8:    (0.581,0.771]  0.17950572 10
 9:     (0.771,1.18] -0.04951607 10
10:       (1.18,2.4] -0.45781268 10

这样您就可以看到最小值和最大值，而不是显示 -Inf 和 +Inf。注意你需要通过include=TRUE to cut否则，将返回 11 个垃圾箱，其中第一个垃圾箱仅包含 1 个。
