[R] appending similar data frames?

Dear R gang,

Can anyone help me sort out how to append one data frame to
another while adding a factor to distinguish which was the
original frame?

For example, I have two frames, x and y
> x  exp size
1   a   10
2   b    9
3   c   10
4   d   12
5   e   11
 > y   exp size
1   a   13
2   b   15
3   c   12
4   d   20
5   e   15

and I'd like to create a new frame that looks like

   exp size set
1    a   10   x
2    b    9   x
3    c   10   x
4    d   12   x
5    e   11   x
6    a   13   y
7    b   15   y
8    c   12   y
9    d   20   y
10   e   15   y

I know that I can do something like
> new.frame <- data.frame(c(as.vector(x$exp), as.vector(y$exp)))
> new.frame$size <- c(as.vector(x$size), as.vector(y$size))
> new.frame$set <- c(rep('x',times=length(x$exp)),
rep('y',times=length(y$exp)))
> names(new.frame) <- c('exp','size','set')
Is there any generalized code out there that will do this sort of
thing for more complex data frames (still with the same structure
though)?  Or is there a simpler R idiom that does the same thing?

rbind(cbind(x,set=rep("x",NROW(x))),
      cbind(y,set=rep("y",NROW(x)))
      )

will do it.

As long as the names match exactly in the two original frames, you
should be able to do it using "rbind" and "cbind":

Specifically:

 rbind( cbind(x, 'x'), cbind(y, 'y') )

What the cbind's are doing is adding a column to the original
dataframes giving their name.  Then the rbind glues the two dataframes
together.

If the names don't match exactly, then you should rename things so
they do.

Here is the function that I wrote to accomplish this task.  It will appear
in the next version of the gregmisc library (due sometime January).

concat  <-  function(..., names=NULL)
  {
    tmp  <-  list(...)
    if(is.null(names)) names  <- names(tmp)
    if(is.null(names)) names  <- sapply( as.list(match.call()), deparse)[-1]

    if( any(
            sapply(tmp, is.matrix)
            |
            sapply(tmp, is.data.frame) ) )
      { 
        len  <-  sapply(tmp, function(x) c(dim(x),1)[1] )
        len[is.null(len)]  <-  1
        data <-  rbind( ... )
      }
    else
      {
        len  <- sapply(tmp,length)
        data  <-  unlist(tmp)
        
      }

    namelist  <- factor(rep(names, len), levels=names)
        
    return( data.frame( data, source=namelist) )
  }

You use it like:
> x  exp size
1   a   10
2   b    9
3   c   10
4   d   12
5   e   11> y  exp size
1   a   13
2   b   15
3   c   12
4   d   20
5   e   15> concat(x,y)   exp size source
1    a   10      x
2    b    9      x
3    c   10      x
4    d   12      x
5    e   11      x
6    a   13      y
7    b   15      y
8    c   12      y
9    d   20      y
10   e   15      y

[R] appending similar data frames?

As S-PLUS has a function concat() which does something different (like c,
strips names) could you use a different name?

[R] appending similar data frames?

I wasn't aware of the S-plus function 'concat'.  I'll rename my
function
'combine' (unless someone else has a better suggestion).
