Now I want to do the same thing as in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16200815/summarize-a-data-table-with-unreliable-data
for both fields
fields <- c("country","language")
here is what I tried so far:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
dt[, .N, .SDcols=fields, by=eval(list("user",fields))]
Error in `[.data.table`(dt, , .N, .SDcols = fields, by =
eval(list("user", :
The items in the 'by' or 'keyby' list are length (1,2). Each must
be same length as rows in x or number of rows returned by i (10).
Calls: [ -> [.data.table
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
the idea is to do something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
dt.out <- dt[, .N, by=list(user,country)][,
list(country[which.max(N)], max(N)/sum(N)), by=user]
setnames(dt.out, c("V1", "V2"), paste0("country",c(".name",
".support")))
users <- users[dt.out]
user behavior country.name country.support
1: 3 TRUE 2 1.0
2: 4 FALSE 1 0.8
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
except that I do not want to have the literal "country" and
"language"
and that I am sure there is a way to avoid copying users in
users <- users[dt.out]
by a ":=" trick.
Thanks.
