R help - Sep 2021 - tidyverse: grouped summaries (with summerize)

Rich,

Did I miss something? The summarise() command is telling you that  you had not
implicitly grouped the data and it made a guess. The canonical way is:

... %>% group_by(year, month, day, hour) %>% summarise(...)


You decide which fields to group by, sometimes including others so they are in
the output.

Subject: [R] tidyverse: grouped summaries (with summerize)

I changed the data files so the date-times are in five separate columns:
year, month, day, hour, and minute; for example, year,month,day,hour,min,cfs
2016,03,03,12,00,149000
2016,03,03,12,10,150000
2016,03,03,12,20,151000
2016,03,03,12,30,156000
2016,03,03,12,40,154000
2016,03,03,12,50,150000
2016,03,03,13,00,153000
2016,03,03,13,10,156000
2016,03,03,13,20,154000

The script is based on the example (on page 59 of 'R for Data Science'):
library('tidyverse')
disc <- read.csv('../data/water/disc.dat', header = TRUE, sep =
',', stringsAsFactors = FALSE) disc$year <- as.integer(disc$year)
disc$month <- as.integer(disc$month) disc$day <- as.integer(disc$day)
disc$hour <- as.integer(disc$hour) disc$min <- as.integer(disc$min)
disc$cfs <- as.double(disc$cfs, length = 6)

# use dplyr to filter() by year, month, day; summarize() to get monthly # means,
sds disc_by_month <- group_by(disc, year, month) summarize(disc_by_month, vol
= mean(cfs, na.rm = TRUE))

but my syntax is off because the results are:
> source('disc.R')
`summarise()` has grouped output by 'year'. You can override using the
`.groups` argument.

  6  2016     3     3    12    50 150000
  7  2016     3     3    13     0 153000
  8  2016     3     3    13    10 156000
  9  2016     3     3    13    20 154000
10  2016     3     3    13    30 155000
# ? with 590,930 more rows

I have the same results if I use as.numeric rather than as.integer and
as.double. What am I doing incorrectly?

TIA,

Rich

Avi,

Probably not.

After sending the message I saw the example using %>% and didn't realize
that it made a difference from the previous example.

That's what I thought I did. I'll rewrite the script and work toward the
output I need.

Thanks,

Rich
