Fitting several regression models with dplyr
RDplyrR Problem Overview
I would like to fit a model for each hour(the factor variable) using dplyr, I'm getting an error, and i'm not quite sure what's wrong.
df.h <- data.frame(
hour = factor(rep(1:24, each = 21)),
price = runif(504, min = -10, max = 125),
wind = runif(504, min = 0, max = 2500),
temp = runif(504, min = - 10, max = 25)
)
df.h <- tbl_df(df.h)
df.h <- group_by(df.h, hour)
group_size(df.h) # checks out, 21 obs. for each factor variable
# different attempts:
reg.models <- do(df.h, formula = price ~ wind + temp)
reg.models <- do(df.h, .f = lm(price ~ wind + temp, data = df.h))
I've tried various variations, but I can't get it to work.
R Solutions
Solution 1 - R
The easiest way to do this, circa May 2015 is to use broom
. broom
contains three functions that deal with complex returned objects from statistical operations by groups: tidy
(which deals with coefficient vectors from statistical operations by groups), glance
(which deals with summary statistics from statistical operations by groups), and augment
(which deals with observation level results from statistical operations by groups).
Here is a demonstration of its use to extract the various results of linear regression by groups into tidy data_frame
s.

tidy
:library(dplyr) library(broom) df.h = data.frame( hour = factor(rep(1:24, each = 21)), price = runif(504, min = -10, max = 125), wind = runif(504, min = 0, max = 2500), temp = runif(504, min = - 10, max = 25) ) dfHour = df.h %>% group_by(hour) %>% do(fitHour = lm(price ~ wind + temp, data = .)) # get the coefficients by group in a tidy data_frame dfHourCoef = tidy(dfHour, fitHour) dfHourCoef
which gives,

Solution 2 - R
In dplyr 0.4, you can do:
df.h %>% do(model = lm(price ~ wind + temp, data = .))
Solution 3 - R
As of mid 2020 (and updated to fit dplyr
1.0+ as of 2022-04), tchakravarty's answer will fail. In order to circumvent the new approach of broom
and dpylr
seem to interact, the following combination of broom::tidy
, broom::augment
and broom::glance
can be used. We just have to use them in conjunvtion with nest_by()
and summarize()
(previously inside do()
and later unnest()
the tibble).

Solution 4 - R
from the documentation for do
:
.f
: a function to apply to each piece. The first unnamed argument supplied to .f will be a data frame.
So:
reg.models <- do(df.h,
.f=function(data){
lm(price ~ wind + temp, data=data)
})
Probably useful to also save which hour the model was fitted for:
reg.models <- do(df.h,
.f=function(data){
m <- lm(price ~ wind + temp, data=data)
m$hour <- unique(data$hour)
m
})
Solution 5 - R
I think you can use dplyr
in more proper way where you don't need to define function as in @fabians anwser.
results<-df.h %.%
group_by(hour) %.%
do(failwith(NULL, lm), formula = price ~ wind + temp)
or
results<-do(group_by(tbl_df(df.h), hour),
failwith(NULL, lm), formula = price ~ wind + temp)
EDIT:
Of course it also works without failwith
results<-df.h %.%
group_by(hour) %.%
do(lm, formula = price ~ wind + temp)
results<-do(group_by(tbl_df(df.h), hour),
lm, formula = price ~ wind + temp)
Solution 6 - R
I believe there's a more compact answer than loki's answer, which abandons the since replaced/superseded do()
:
library(dplyr)
library(broom)
library(tidyr)
h.lm <- df.h %>%
nest_by(hour) %>%
mutate(fitHour = list(lm(price ~ wind + temp, data = data))) %>%
summarise(tidy_out = list(tidy(fitHour)),
glance_out = list(glance(fitHour)),
augment_out = list(augment(fitHour))) %>%
ungroup()
h.lm
# # A tibble: 24 x 4
# hour tidy_out glance_out augment_out
# <fct> <list> <list> <list>
# 1 1 <tibble [3 × 5]> <tibble [1 × 12]> <tibble [21 × 9]>

# 10 10 <tibble [3 × 5]> <tibble [1 × 12]> <tibble [21 × 9]>
# # … with 14 more rows
similar to their answer, in order to access, simply unnest whichever component is desired:
unnest(select(h.lm, hour, tidy_out))

As of dplyr 1.0.0, group_split
gives a handy shortcut for this action:

A few revisions of the tidyverse late the do()
operator is superseded and we can fit one model per group with one line of code less.
