我正在尝试使用data()函数将数据集加载到R中。当我使用数据集名称(例如data(Titanic)
或data("Titanic")
)时,它工作正常。对我来说不起作用的是使用变量而不是名称来加载数据集。例如:
# This works fine:
> data(Titanic)
# This works fine as well:
> data("Titanic")
# This doesn't work:
> myvar <- Titanic
> data(myvar)
**Warning message:
In data(myvar) : data set ‘myvar’ not found**
为什么R要查找名为“myvar”的数据集,因为它没有被引用?既然这是默认行为,是不是有办法加载存储在变量中的数据集?
为了记录,我要做的是创建一个使用“arules”包并使用Apriori挖掘关联规则的函数。因此,我需要将数据集作为参数传递给该函数。
myfun <- function(mydataset) {
data(mydataset) # doesn't work (data set 'mydataset' not found)
rules <- apriori(mydataset)
}
编辑 - sessionInfo()的输出:

我得到的实际错误(例如,使用样本数据集“xyz”):
xyz <- data.frame(c(1,2,3))
data(list=xyz)

使用list
参数。见?data
。
data(list=myvar)
你还需要myvar
作为一个字符串。
myvar <- "Titanic"
请注意,由于泰坦尼克数据集的延迟加载,myvar <- Titanic
只能工作(我认为)。包中的大多数数据集都是以这种方式加载的,但对于其他类型的数据集,您仍然需要data
命令。
将变量用作字符。否则你将处理“泰坦尼克号”的内容而不是它的名字。您可能还需要使用get才能将字符值转换为对象名称。
myvar <- 'Titanic'
myfun <- function(mydataset) {
data(list=mydataset)
str(get(mydataset))
}
myfun(myvar)
如果已加载包,则可以使用get()函数将数据集分配给局部变量:
data_object = get(myvar, asNamespace('<package_name>'))
或者干脆:
data_object = get(myvar)
Assign_Name < - read.csv(file.choose())
这行代码打开您的本地计算机,只需选择要加载它的数据集R环境
我正在回答我自己的问题,但我终于找到了解决方案。引用R帮助:
“在所有当前加载的包中搜索数据集,然后在当前工作目录的'data'目录(如果有的话)中搜索。”
因此,所有人必须做的是将数据集写入文件并将其放入名为“data”的目录中并放在工作目录中。
> write.table(mydataset,file="dataset.csv",sep=",",quote=TRUE,row.names=FALSE) # I intend to create a csv file, so I use 'sep=","' to separate the entries by a comma, 'quote=TRUE' to quote all the entries, and 'row.names=F to prevent the creation of an extra column containing the row names (which is the default behavior of write.table() )
# Now place the dataset into a "data" directory (either via R or via the operating system, doesn't make any difference):
> dir.create("data") # create the directory
> file.rename(from="dataset.csv",to="data/dataset.csv") # move the file
# Now we can finally load the dataset:
> data("mydataset") # data(mydataset) works as well, but quoted is preferable - less risk of conflict with another object coincidentally named "mydataset" as well
