upsample: Upsampling of rows in a data frame

In groupdata2: Creating Groups from Data

Upsampling of rows in a data frame

Description

\Sexpr[results=rd, stage=render]{lifecycle::badge("maturing")}

Uses random upsampling to fix the group sizes to the largest group in the data frame.

Wraps balance().

Usage

upsample(
  data,
  cat_col,
  id_col = NULL,
  id_method = "n_ids",
  mark_new_rows = FALSE,
  new_rows_col_name = ".new_row"
)

Arguments

data	data.frame. Can be grouped, in which case the function is applied group-wise.
cat_col	Name of categorical variable to balance by. (Character)
id_col	Name of factor with IDs. (Character) IDs are considered entities, e.g. allowing us to add or remove all rows for an ID. How this is used is up to the `id_method`. E.g. If we have measured a participant multiple times and want make sure that we keep all these measurements. Then we would either remove/add all measurements for the participant or leave in all measurements for the participant. N.B. When `data` is a grouped data.frame (see dplyr::group_by()), IDs that appear in multiple groupings are considered separate entities within those groupings.
id_method	Method for balancing the IDs. (Character) "n_ids", "n_rows_c", "distributed", or "nested". n_ids (default) Balances on ID level only. It makes sure there are the same number of IDs for each category. This might lead to a different number of rows between categories. n_rows_c Attempts to level the number of rows per category, while only removing/adding entire IDs. This is done in 2 steps: If a category needs to add all its rows one or more times, the data is repeated. Iteratively, the ID with the number of rows closest to the lacking/excessive number of rows is added/removed. This happens until adding/removing the closest ID would lead to a size further from the target size than the current size. If multiple IDs are closest, one is randomly sampled. distributed Distributes the lacking/excess rows equally between the IDs. If the number to distribute can not be equally divided, some IDs will have 1 row more/less than the others. nested Calls balance() on each category with IDs as cat_col. I.e. if size is "min", IDs will have the size of the smallest ID in their category.
mark_new_rows	Add column with 1s for added rows, and 0s for original rows. (Logical)
new_rows_col_name	Name of column marking new rows. Defaults to ".new_row".

Details

Without `id_col`

Upsampling is done with replacement for added rows, while the original data remains intact.

With `id_col`

See `id_method` description.

Value

data.frame with added rows. Ordered by potential grouping variables, `cat_col` and (potentially) `id_col`.

Examples

# Attach packages
library(groupdata2)

# Create data frame
df <- data.frame(
  "participant" = factor(c(1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5)),
  "diagnosis" = factor(c(0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)),
  "trial" = c(1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4),
  "score" = sample(c(1:100), 13)
)

# Using upsample()
upsample(df, cat_col = "diagnosis")

# Using upsample() with id_method "n_ids"
# With column specifying added rows
upsample(df,
  cat_col = "diagnosis",
  id_col = "participant",
  id_method = "n_ids",
  mark_new_rows = TRUE
)

# Using upsample() with id_method "n_rows_c"
# With column specifying added rows
upsample(df,
  cat_col = "diagnosis",
  id_col = "participant",
  id_method = "n_rows_c",
  mark_new_rows = TRUE
)

# Using upsample() with id_method "distributed"
# With column specifying added rows
upsample(df,
  cat_col = "diagnosis",
  id_col = "participant",
  id_method = "distributed",
  mark_new_rows = TRUE
)

# Using upsample() with id_method "nested"
# With column specifying added rows
upsample(df,
  cat_col = "diagnosis",
  id_col = "participant",
  id_method = "nested",
  mark_new_rows = TRUE
