I would like to compute something really simple, but I don't find the solution. I want to cut in bins certain numbers, but I want to save the bins.
bin.size = 100
df = data.frame(x =c(300,400),
y = c("sca1","sca2"))
cut(df$x, seq(0, 400, bin.size),
include.lowest = TRUE)
Gives me
[1] (200,300] (300,400]
Levels: [0,100] (100,200] (200,300] (300,400]
But what I want something like this:
bin y
1 (0,100] sca1
2 (100,200] sca1
3 (200,300] sca1
4 (0,100] sca2
5 (100,200] sca2
6 (200,300] sca2
7 (300,400] sca2
I want to do this because I want to calculate the number of values that enter in bins of 100. For example:
df2 = data.frame(snp = c(1,2,10,100,1,2,14,16,399),
sca = c("sca1","sca1","sca1","sca1","sca2","sca2","sca2","sca2","sca2"))
df2
snp sca
1 1 sca1
2 2 sca1
3 10 sca1
4 100 sca1
5 1 sca2
6 2 sca2
7 14 sca2
8 16 sca2
9 399 sca2
snp could be the the position in a vector sca1.
The end goal is to obtain something like this:
bin y num
1 (0,100] sca1 4
2 (100,200] sca1 0
3 (200,300] sca1 0
4 (0,100] sca2 4
5 (100,200] sca2 0
6 (200,300] sca2 0
7 (300,400] sca2 1
The best I can do is this:
df2$cat = cut(df2$snp, seq(0, 400, bin.size),
include.lowest = TRUE)
df2
snp sca cat
1 1 sca1 [0,100]
2 2 sca1 [0,100]
3 10 sca1 [0,100]
4 100 sca1 [0,100]
5 1 sca2 [0,100]
6 2 sca2 [0,100]
7 14 sca2 [0,100]
8 16 sca2 [0,100]
9 399 sca2 (300,400]
Or this:
table(df2$cat,df2$sca)
sca1 sca2
[0,100] 4 4
(100,200] 0 0
(200,300] 0 0
(300,400] 0 1
But the problem with this last attempt is that the category (300,400]
doesn't make sense for sca1
because it doesn't exist. It should be NA
or not appearing. How to solve this?
