This is a similar problem to this (R Mutate multiple columns with ifelse()-condition), but I have trouble applying it to my problem.
Here’s a reproducible example:
df <- structure(list(comm_id = c("060015", "060015", "060015", "060015",
"060015", "060015", "060015", "060015", "060015", "060015", "060015"
), trans_year = c(1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999,
2000, 2001, 2002), f10_1 = c(1996, 1996, 1996, 1996, 1996, 1996,
1996, 1996, 1996, 1996, 1996), f10_2 = c(1997, 1997, 1997, 1997,
1997, 1997, 1997, 1997, 1997, 1997, 1997)), row.names = c(NA,
-11L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))
I want to create additional columns (in my actual problem, more than 10 columns in a similar way) using ifelse
condition, which can be done as following with brute force. But my actual problem has more than 10 such columns, so it would benefit a lot from a more elegant approach.
df %>%
mutate(post_f10_1 = ifelse(trans_year >= f10_1 & trans_year < f10_1 +5, 1, 0),
post_f10_2 = ifelse(trans_year >= f10_2 & trans_year < f10_2 +5, 1, 0))
I’ve tried a couple of different failed approaches as the following:
with base
,
n <- c(1:2)
df[paste0("post_f10_", n)] <- lapply(n, function(x)
ifelse(df$trans_year >= paste0("f10_", x) & df$trans_year < paste0("f10_", x) + 5, 1, 0))
# Error in paste0("f10_", x) + 5 : non-numeric argument to binary operator
with new across
function from tidyverse
df %>%
mutate(across(starts_with("f10_"),
~ ifelse(trnas_year >= .x & trans_year < .x + 5, 1, 0), .names = "post_{col}"))
# Error: Problem with `mutate()` input `..1`.
# x object 'trnas_year' not found
# ℹ Input `..1` is `across(...)`.
The output I want looks like
comm_id trans_year f10_1 f10_2 post_f10_1 post_f10_2
<chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 060015 1992 1996 1997 0 0
2 060015 1993 1996 1997 0 0
3 060015 1994 1996 1997 0 0
4 060015 1995 1996 1997 0 0
5 060015 1996 1996 1997 1 0
6 060015 1997 1996 1997 1 1
7 060015 1998 1996 1997 1 1
8 060015 1999 1996 1997 1 1
9 060015 2000 1996 1997 1 1
10 060015 2001 1996 1997 0 1
11 060015 2002 1996 1997 0 0
If possible, I’d prefer tidyverse
approach. Thanks!
Update
My original tidyverse
approach did not work because of a typo. So I update OP. Also, the answer below is much more elegant than what I post here.
df %>%
+ mutate(across(starts_with("f10_"),
+ ~ ifelse(trans_year >= .x & trans_year < .x + 5, 1, 0), .names = "post_{col}"))
# A tibble: 11 x 6
comm_id trans_year f10_1 f10_2 post_f10_1 post_f10_2
<chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 060015 1992 1996 1997 0 0
2 060015 1993 1996 1997 0 0
3 060015 1994 1996 1997 0 0
4 060015 1995 1996 1997 0 0
5 060015 1996 1996 1997 1 0
6 060015 1997 1996 1997 1 1
7 060015 1998 1996 1997 1 1
8 060015 1999 1996 1997 1 1
9 060015 2000 1996 1997 1 1
10 060015 2001 1996 1997 0 1
11 060015 2002 1996 1997 0 0
You can use :
library(dplyr)
df %>%
mutate(across(starts_with("f10_"),
~as.integer(trans_year >= . & trans_year < (. + 5)),
.names = 'post_{col}'))
# comm_id trans_year f10_1 f10_2 post_f10_1 post_f10_2
# <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <int> <int>
# 1 060015 1992 1996 1997 0 0
# 2 060015 1993 1996 1997 0 0
# 3 060015 1994 1996 1997 0 0
# 4 060015 1995 1996 1997 0 0
# 5 060015 1996 1996 1997 1 0
# 6 060015 1997 1996 1997 1 1
# 7 060015 1998 1996 1997 1 1
# 8 060015 1999 1996 1997 1 1
# 9 060015 2000 1996 1997 1 1
#10 060015 2001 1996 1997 0 1
#11 060015 2002 1996 1997 0 0
Or in base R with lapply
:
cols <- paste0('f10_', 1:2)
df[paste0('post_', cols)] <- lapply(df[cols], function(x)
as.integer(df$trans_year >= x & df$trans_year < (x + 5)))
