I have a tibble/dataframe that looks like this:
hc_inpatient_sum hc_ambulant_sum hc_inpatient_mean hc_ambulant_mean
5 2 5.5 2.2
My desired output is:
my_names sum mean
hc_inpatient 5 5.5
hc_ambulant 2 2.2
I get what I want using the following code. However, it seems pretty complicated. I guess that the same result could be obtained using less complicated code.
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
my_data <- tibble(hc_inpatient_sum = 5, hc_ambulant_sum = 2, hc_inpatient_mean = 5.5,
hc_ambulant_mean = 2.2)
res <- my_data %>%
pivot_longer(cols = everything(), names_to = "my_names", values_to = "my_values") %>%
separate(my_names, into = c("my_names", "stats"), sep = "_(?=[^_]+$)") %>%
pivot_wider(names_from = "stats", values_from = "my_values")
Is there a more direct way to get the same result using tidyr::pivot_longer?
Alternatively I could do something like this...
res2 <- pivot_longer(my_data, cols = everything(),
names_to = c(".value", "stats"),
names_pattern = "(.*)_(.*)") %>%
t()
colnames(res2) <- res2["stats",]
res2 <- as_tibble(res2[-1,], rownames = "my_names") %>%
mutate_at(vars(-my_names), as.double)
... but that is even more awkward.
