- Convert data. frame column format from character to factor
The complete conversion of every character variable to factor usually happens when reading in data, e g , with stringsAsFactors = TRUE, but this is useful when say, you've read data in with read_excel() from the readxl package and want to train a random forest model that doesn't accept character variables
- What is the significance of load factor in HashMap?
A load factor=1 hashmap with number of entries=capacity will statistically have significant amount of collisions (=when multiple keys are producing the same hash) When collision occurs the lookup time increases, as in one bucket there will be >1 matching entries, for which the key must be individually checked for equality
- Why use as. factor () instead of just factor () - Stack Overflow
‘factor(x, exclude = NULL)’ applied to a factor without ‘NA’s is a no-operation unless there are unused levels: in that case, a factor with the reduced level set is returned ‘as factor’ coerces its argument to a factor It is an abbreviated (sometimes faster) form of ‘factor’ Performance: as factor > factor when input is a factor The word "no-operation" is a bit ambiguous
- r - Convert factor to integer - Stack Overflow
Does anyone know of a way to coerce a factor into an integer? Using as character() will convert it to the correct character, but then I cannot immediately perform an operation on it, and as integer() or as numeric() will convert it to the number that system is storing that factor as, which is not helpful
- Variance Inflation Factor in Python - Stack Overflow
I'm trying to calculate the variance inflation factor (VIF) for each column in a simple dataset in python: a b c d 1 2 4 4 1 2 6 3 2 3 7 4 3 2 8 5 4 1 9 4 I have
- r - How to convert a factor to integer\numeric without loss of . . .
See the Warning section of ?factor: In particular, as numeric applied to a factor is meaningless, and may happen by implicit coercion To transform a factor f to approximately its original numeric values, as numeric(levels(f))[f] is recommended and slightly more efficient than as numeric(as character(f)) The FAQ on R has similar advice
- Pandas - make a column dtype object or Factor - Stack Overflow
In pandas, how can I convert a column of a DataFrame into dtype object? Or better yet, into a factor? (For those who speak R, in Python, how do I as factor()?) Also, what's the difference between
- r - How to convert integer to factor? - Stack Overflow
Thanks, erasmortg When I check with class it shows 'factor' I hope it is indeed a factor then Do not understand why typeof shows integer I also just tried str (df) and it shows that x is a factor
