Merge a lot of data frames in R

Tags:

text-files

I have data on a all of the votes in the Danish Parliament in 2008-9. The problem is that each vote is recorded in its own .txt file with the following format (see the appendix of the post for a dump of three votes from R): 

Name             Party  Vote
Anders Samuelsen LA     For
Rasmus Prehn     S      Imod
...              ...    ...

I would like to merge all the file to one data frame with the following format:

Name             Party  Vote1  Vote2  Vote3
Anders Samuelsen LA     For    Imod   Imod
Rasmus Prehn     S      Imod   For    Fraværende

(Danish translation:For = yes, imod = no, Fraværende = absent)

In total I have more than 200 files, so the question is: how can I write a loop that merges all the data frames into the desired structure above?

Can you merge multiple data frames in R?

How to Join Multiple Data Frames in R?, you can find it useful to connect many data frames in R. Fortunately, the left join() function from the dplyr package makes this simple to accomplish. We can easily conduct two left joins, one after the other, to combine all three data frames.

How do I merge multiple data frames?

Pandas merge() function is used to merge multiple Dataframes. We can use either pandas. merge() or DataFrame. merge() to merge multiple Dataframes.

How do I merge data frames in R?

In R we use merge() function to merge two dataframes in R. This function is present inside join() function of dplyr package. The most important condition for joining two dataframes is that the column type should be the same on which the merging happens.

What is faster than merge in R?

To merge 2 dataframes in R, we can use merge() function as well as the dplyr joins. For large tables dplyr join functions is much faster than merge().

here is a slightly different approach using plyr and reshape packages by hadley.

library(plyr);
library(reshape);

# function to read a single file

readFile = function(i){

    .file = paste("Vote", i, ".csv", sep = "");
    .vote = read.csv(.file);
     names(.vote) = c('name', 'party', 'vote');
    .vote$id = paste("Vote", i, sep = "");
     return(.vote);
}

nFiles = 200;

# read all data files and store as data frame
vote = ldply(1:nFiles, readFile);

# reshape data to get to the required format
vote2 = cast(vote, name + party ~ id, value = 'vote')
