Dataframe: Divide each group by a vector corresponding to each group in R?












0















I have a data frame like this:



df1 <- structure(list(user_id = c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3), param_a = c(123, 
2.3, -9, 1, -0.03333, 4, -41, -12, 0.89)), .Names = c("user_id",
"param_a"), row.names = c(NA, -9L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl",
"data.frame"))


and another dataframe of vectors:



df2 <- structure(list(user_id = c(1, 2, 3), param_b = c(34, 12, -0.89
)), .Names = c("user_id", "param_b"), row.names = c(NA, -3L), class = c("tbl_df",
"tbl", "data.frame"))


Now I want to divide each group in df1 by corresponding value in df2:



For example for a group of user 1 divide each row by param_b first vector:



    user_id param_a
1 123/34
1 2.3/34
1 -9/34
2 1/12
2 -0.03333/12
2 4/12
....


for user 2 divide each row by param_b second vector.



Please advise how can I divide a grouped by user dataframe by a vector per each group?



P.S



If I have df1 extended to param_a, param_k, param_p



and df2 extended accordingly with param_b, param_l, param_r



How can I perform this kind of operation? @nicola suggested a very nice solution but I want to extend it.

    Try df1$param_a/df2$param_b[match(df1$user_id,df2$user_id)].

  • @nicola, if I have param_a, param_k, param_p and param b is a vector of multiple numbers it doesn't work.

  • It works on your example. You should state why it doesn't work and provide a better example. FWIW, these kinds of "it doesn't work", without nothing else are so frustrating and let me question why I'm still here on this site trying to help others.

  • @nicola, I am sorry. You are completely right. I just thought it's a generic way to do this, but when I did apply it on more variables it didn't work. Can you please advise? I will update my question shortly.
