各组最新值的总和

对于我的每一行数据，我想计算最近的总和value对于每个group:

dt = data.table(group = c('a','b','a','a','b','a'),
                value = c(10, 5, 20, 15, 15, 10),
                desired = c(10, 15, 25, 20, 30, 25))
#   group value desired
#1:     a    10      10
#2:     b     5      15
#3:     a    20      25  # latest value of a is 20, of b is 5
#4:     a    15      20  # latest value of a is 15, of b is 5
#5:     b    15      30
#6:     a    10      25

desired列是我想要实现的，我可以通过一个简单的循环来实现这一点，但是我的数据非常大，有很多行和组（1M + 行，1000 + 组）。

for (i in seq_len(nrow(dt))) {
  # can use `set` to make this faster, but still too slow
  # this is just to illustrate *a* solution
  dt[i, desired1 := dt[1:i, value[.N], by = group][, sum(V1)]]
}

来自@eddi（在评论下）的更简单的逻辑减少了如下所示的迂回：

dt[, incr := diff(c(0, value)), by = group][, ans := cumsum(incr)]

不确定它如何扩展到更多组，但这里有一个包含 3 个组的示例数据：

# I hope I got the desired output correctly
require(data.table)
dt = data.table(group = c('a','b','c','a','a','b','c','a'),
                value = c(10, 5, 20, 25, 15, 15, 30, 10),
                desired = c(10, 15, 35, 50, 40, 50, 60, 55))

Add an rleid:

dt[, id := rleid(group)]

提取每个的最后一行group, id:

last = dt[, .(value=value[.N]), by=.(group, id)]

last将会有独特的id。现在的想法是获得每个的增量id，然后加入+更新回来。

last = last[, incr := value - shift(value, type="lag", fill=0L), by=group
          ][, incr := cumsum(incr)-value][]

立即加入+更新：

dt[last, ans := value + i.incr, on="id"][, id := NULL][]
#    group value desired ans
# 1:     a    10      10  10
# 2:     b     5      15  15
# 3:     c    20      35  35
# 4:     a    25      50  50
# 5:     a    15      40  40
# 6:     b    15      50  50
# 7:     c    30      60  60
# 8:     a    10      55  55

我还不确定这在哪里/是否会中断..现在会仔细查看。我立即写下来，以便有更多的目光。

将 500 个组和 10,000 行与 David 的解决方案进行比较：

require(data.table)
set.seed(45L)
groups = apply(matrix(sample(letters, 500L*10L, TRUE), ncol=10L), 1L, paste, collapse="")
uniqueN(groups) # 500L
N = 1e4L
dt = data.table(group=sample(groups, N, TRUE), value = sample(100L, N, TRUE))

arun <- function(dt) {

    dt[, id := rleid(group)]
    last = dt[, .(value=value[.N]), by=.(group, id)]
    last = last[, incr := value - shift(value, type="lag", fill=0L), by=group
              ][, incr := cumsum(incr)-value][]
    dt[last, ans := value + i.incr, on="id"][, id := NULL][]
    dt$ans
}

david <- function(dt) {
    dt[, indx := .I]
    res <- dcast(dt, indx ~ group)
    for (j in names(res)[-1L]) 
        set(res, j = j, value = res[!is.na(res[[j]])][res, on = "indx", roll = TRUE][[j]])
    rowSums(as.matrix(res)[, -1], na.rm = TRUE)

}

system.time(ans1 <- arun(dt))  ## 0.024s
system.time(ans2 <- david(dt)) ## 38.97s 
identical(ans1, as.integer(ans2))
# [1] TRUE
