The Issue with dplyr’s Group By and Summarise Functions When working with data manipulation in R, it is common to use the dplyr package for tasks such as filtering, grouping, and summarising data. However, sometimes unexpected results can occur when using these functions. In this blog post, we will explore an issue that arises when using the group_by and summarise functions in dplyr, specifically regarding the aggregation of values. Understanding the Problem The problem arises when there are duplicate values within a group being summarised.

Constructing a List of DataFrames in Rcpp Introduction Rcpp is an R package that allows users to write C++ code and interface it with R. One of the key features of Rcpp is its ability to interact with R’s dynamic data structures, including lists. In this article, we will explore how to construct a list of DataFrames in Rcpp efficiently. Understanding Rcpp Lists In Rcpp, lists are implemented as C++ std::vectors, which can grow dynamically at runtime.

Understanding the Issue with the HTML Audio Tag on iPhone When developing for mobile devices, it’s common to encounter issues with the rendering of web content, particularly when it comes to responsive design and device-specific behavior. In this article, we’ll delve into the specifics of an issue reported by a Stack Overflow user regarding the display of the HTML audio tag on iPhone 5. The problem statement is straightforward: when the HTML audio tag is added to an HTML document and viewed on an iPhone 5, it appears only half its intended height.

Applying a Function to a Series of Items in a List of Lists In this article, we will explore how to apply a function to each item in a list within a larger list structure. This is a common problem in R programming and can be solved using various techniques. Introduction The question at hand involves applying the myFUN function to the same item in a list which is in a list pool.

Introduction to Conditional Mutations with dplyr and data.table In the realm of data manipulation, one often finds themselves faced with the challenge of dealing with conditional statements that affect column mutations. In this blog post, we’ll delve into a specific scenario involving multiple columns with similar names and explore how to tackle it using both the popular dplyr library and the efficient data.table package.
