GitHub - poissonconsulting/nlist: An R package to create and check numeric list objects (original) (raw)

Lifecycle: stable R-CMD-check Codecov test coverage License: MIT CRAN status CRAN downloads

nlist is an R package to create and manipulate numeric list (nlist) objects.

An nlist is an S3 class list of uniquely named numeric objects. An numeric object is an integer or double vector, matrix or array. nlistobjects are the raw data inputs for analytic engines such as JAGS, STAN and TMB.

An nlists object is a S3 class list of nlist objects with the same names, dimensionalities and typeofs. nlists objects are useful for storing multiple realizations of simulated data sets. They can be converted to coda::mcmc and coda::mcmc.list objects.

Demonstration

numeric

An numeric object is an integer or double vector, matrix or array.

library(nlist) is.numeric(1L) #> [1] TRUE is.numeric(matrix(1:3)) #> [1] TRUE

nlist

An nlist is an S3 class list of uniquely named numeric objects.

It is straightforward to create an new nlist object.

library(nlist)

nlist <- nlist(x = 1, y = matrix(1:9, 3)) nlist #> $x #> [1] 1 #> #> $y #> [,1] [,2] [,3] #> [1,] 1 4 7 #> [2,] 2 5 8 #> [3,] 3 6 9 #> #> an nlist object with 2 numeric elements

nlists

An nlists object is a S3 class list of nlist objects with the same names, dimensionalities and typeofs.

The nchains attribute is used to keep track of the number of chains.

nlists <- nlists( nlist(x = 1, y = matrix(1:9, 3)), nlist(x = -2, y = matrix(2:10, 3)), nlist(x = 10, y = matrix(22:30, 3)), nlist(x = -100, y = matrix(-2:-10, 3)) )

print(nlists) #> $x #> [1] -0.5 #> #> $y #> [,1] [,2] [,3] #> [1,] 1.5 4.5 7.5 #> [2,] 2.5 5.5 8.5 #> [3,] 3.5 6.5 9.5 #> #> an nlists object of 4 nlist objects each with 2 numeric elements

Coercion

nlist

A data.frame can be coerced to an nlist object

data <- data.frame( lgl = c(TRUE, NA), dte = as.Date(c("2001-01-02", "2001-01-01")), fac = factor(c("b", "a")) )

as_nlist(data) #> $lgl #> [1] 1 NA #> #> $dte #> [1] 11324 11323 #> #> $fac #> [1] 2 1 #> #> an nlist object with 3 numeric elements

And an nlist objects can be converted to an mcmc or term_frameobjects (and converted back again)

as_mcmc(nlist) #> Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) output: #> Start = 1 #> End = 1 #> Thinning interval = 1 #> x y[1,1] y[2,1] y[3,1] y[1,2] y[2,2] y[3,2] y[1,3] y[2,3] y[3,3] #> [1,] 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 as_term_frame(nlist) #> term value #> 1 x 1 #> 2 y[1,1] 1 #> 3 y[2,1] 2 #> 4 y[3,1] 3 #> 5 y[1,2] 4 #> 6 y[2,2] 5 #> 7 y[3,2] 6 #> 8 y[1,3] 7 #> 9 y[2,3] 8 #> 10 y[3,3] 9

nlists

The estimates() function can be used to aggregate an nlists object to an nlist object.

estimates(nlists, fun = mean) #> $x #> [1] -22.75 #> #> $y #> [,1] [,2] [,3] #> [1,] 5.75 7.25 8.75 #> [2,] 6.25 7.75 9.25 #> [3,] 6.75 8.25 9.75 #> #> an nlist object with 2 numeric elements

while the tidy() function treats the values as if they are MCMC samples and summarises the terms as a tidy tibble.

tidy(nlists, simplify = TRUE) #> # A tibble: 10 × 5 #> term estimate lower upper svalue #> #> 1 x -0.5 -92.6 9.32 0
#> 2 y[1,1] 1.5 -1.77 20.5 0.737 #> 3 y[2,1] 2.5 -2.62 21.5 0.737 #> 4 y[3,1] 3.5 -3.47 22.5 0.737 #> 5 y[1,2] 4.5 -4.32 23.5 0.737 #> 6 y[2,2] 5.5 -5.17 24.5 0.737 #> 7 y[3,2] 6.5 -6.02 25.5 0.737 #> 8 y[1,3] 7.5 -6.87 26.5 0.737 #> 9 y[2,3] 8.5 -7.72 27.5 0.737 #> 10 y[3,3] 9.5 -8.57 28.5 0.737

An nlists object can be converted to an mcmc.list object and aterm_frame.

An nlists object can have its chains split or collapsed.

split_chains(nlists) #> $x #> [1] -0.5 #> #> $y #> [,1] [,2] [,3] #> [1,] 1.5 4.5 7.5 #> [2,] 2.5 5.5 8.5 #> [3,] 3.5 6.5 9.5 #> #> an nlists object with 2 chains of 2 nlist objects each with 2 numeric elements
