Merging specific lists of lists together in R












0















I have a list of lists of lists of lists (I know, a lot of lists, in total around 6000 DataFrames).
The first list specifies the startmonth (January through December), the second one specifies the year (2002 - 2018), the third one contains the different sectors (for example Discretionary or Consumer Staples, in total 10) and the last one the quantile (1 through 5).

To be more clear: sector_prtf[["StartMonth"]][["Year"]][["Sector"]][["Quantile"]]

Here is an example of how the DataFrames look:



sector_prtf[[1]][[1]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-01-31 0.2278331 1 Consumer Discretionary

sector_prtf[[1]][[1]][[2]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-01-31 0.09700046 1 Consumer Staples

sector_prtf[[1]][[2]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2003-01-31 -0.1081433 1 Consumer Discretionary

sector_prtf[[2]][[1]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-02-28 0.3596547 1 Consumer Discretionary


The goal is to merge the lists together in a way that the sectors are together with the quantile and the corresponding startdate.



              Growth quantile                 Sector
2002-01-31 0.2278331 1 Consumer Discretionary
Growth quantile Sector
2003-01-31 -0.1081433 1 Consumer Discretionary
Growth quantile Sector
2004-01-30 0.6446954 1 Consumer Discretionary
.
.
.
Growth quantile Sector
2017-01-31 0.1824898 1 Consumer Discretionary


Like I mentioned this should be done for every sector and every startdate.



I tried to merge the lists together by performing simple rbinds:



merged_sector <- lapply(sector_prtf, function(a) lapply(a, function(b) lapply(b, function(c) do.call("rbind", c))))
merged_sector <- lapply(merged_sector, function(a) lapply(a, function(b) do.call("rbind", b)))
merged_sector <- lapply(merged_sector, function(a) do.call("rbind", a))
merged_sector <- do.call("rbind", merged_sector)


After that the merged lists look like:

2013-01-312 3.652037e-01 3 Consumer Discretionary
.

My idea was now to filter the merged DF by sector and quantile, but the dates are a huge problem (unique rownames).

Is there maybe a simpler way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

    Can you show a small example with dput and update the post so that it is reproducible

  • Putting raw data on other sites that we need to download isn't helpful. See how to make a good reproducible. It doesn't have to be your real data, just something we can copy/paste from the question to make it easier to help.

  • How did you even get this setup? JSON parse?

  • I was given an excel file, with nine different sheets containing stock prices, Price to book, price earnings etc. I had to create a ranking for each stock every year based on those sheets and create an object from those containing the stock prices. Calculate log ret, % growth and again combine them (in the corresponing quantile group) to a portfolio. I ended up with this because I wantet to split not only for quantile, but also for start month and sector

I have a list of lists of lists of lists (I know, a lot of lists, in total around 6000 DataFrames).
The first list specifies the startmonth (January through December), the second one specifies the year (2002 - 2018), the third one contains the different sectors (for example Discretionary or Consumer Staples, in total 10) and the last one the quantile (1 through 5).

To be more clear: sector_prtf[["StartMonth"]][["Year"]][["Sector"]][["Quantile"]]

Here is an example of how the DataFrames look:



sector_prtf[[1]][[1]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-01-31 0.2278331 1 Consumer Discretionary

sector_prtf[[1]][[1]][[2]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-01-31 0.09700046 1 Consumer Staples

sector_prtf[[1]][[2]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2003-01-31 -0.1081433 1 Consumer Discretionary

sector_prtf[[2]][[1]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-02-28 0.3596547 1 Consumer Discretionary


The goal is to merge the lists together in a way that the sectors are together with the quantile and the corresponding startdate.



              Growth quantile                 Sector

.
.
.
Growth quantile Sector
2017-01-31 0.1824898 1 Consumer Discretionary


Like I mentioned this should be done for every sector and every startdate.



I tried to merge the lists together by performing simple rbinds:



merged_sector <- lapply(sector_prtf, function(a) lapply(a, function(b) lapply(b, function(c) do.call("rbind", c))))
merged_sector <- lapply(merged_sector, function(a) lapply(a, function(b) do.call("rbind", b)))
merged_sector <- lapply(merged_sector, function(a) do.call("rbind", a))
merged_sector <- do.call("rbind", merged_sector)


After that the merged lists look like:

My idea was now to filter the merged DF by sector and quantile, but the dates are a huge problem (unique rownames).

Is there maybe a simpler way to solve this problem?

    Can you show a small example with dput and update the post so that it is reproducible

  • Putting raw data on other sites that we need to download isn't helpful. See how to make a good reproducible. It doesn't have to be your real data, just something we can copy/paste from the question to make it easier to help.

  • How did you even get this setup? JSON parse?

  • I was given an excel file, with nine different sheets containing stock prices, Price to book, price earnings etc. I had to create a ranking for each stock every year based on those sheets and create an object from those containing the stock prices. Calculate log ret, % growth and again combine them (in the corresponing quantile group) to a portfolio. I ended up with this because I wantet to split not only for quantile, but also for start month and sector

I have a list of lists of lists of lists (I know, a lot of lists, in total around 6000 DataFrames).
The first list specifies the startmonth (January through December), the second one specifies the year (2002 - 2018), the third one contains the different sectors (for example Discretionary or Consumer Staples, in total 10) and the last one the quantile (1 through 5).

To be more clear: sector_prtf[["StartMonth"]][["Year"]][["Sector"]][["Quantile"]]

Here is an example of how the DataFrames look:



sector_prtf[[1]][[1]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-01-31 0.2278331 1 Consumer Discretionary

sector_prtf[[1]][[1]][[2]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-01-31 0.09700046 1 Consumer Staples

sector_prtf[[1]][[2]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2003-01-31 -0.1081433 1 Consumer Discretionary

sector_prtf[[2]][[1]][[1]][[1]]
Growth quantile Sector
2002-02-28 0.3596547 1 Consumer Discretionary


The goal is to merge the lists together in a way that the sectors are together with the quantile and the corresponding startdate.



              Growth quantile                 Sector
2002-01-31 0.2278331 1 Consumer Discretionary
Growth quantile Sector
2003-01-31 -0.1081433 1 Consumer Discretionary
Growth quantile Sector
2004-01-30 0.6446954 1 Consumer Discretionary
.
.
.
Growth quantile Sector
2017-01-31 0.1824898 1 Consumer Discretionary


Like I mentioned this should be done for every sector and every startdate.



I tried to merge the lists together by performing simple rbinds:



merged_sector <- lapply(sector_prtf, function(a) lapply(a, function(b) lapply(b, function(c) do.call("rbind", c))))
merged_sector <- lapply(merged_sector, function(a) lapply(a, function(b) do.call("rbind", b)))
merged_sector <- lapply(merged_sector, function(a) do.call("rbind", a))
merged_sector <- do.call("rbind", merged_sector)


After that the merged lists look like:

2013-01-312 3.652037e-01 3 Consumer Discretionary
.
.

My idea was now to filter the merged DF by sector and quantile, but the dates are a huge problem (unique rownames).

Is there maybe a simpler way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

    Can you show a small example with dput and update the post so that it is reproducible

  • Putting raw data on other sites that we need to download isn't helpful. See how to make a good reproducible. It doesn't have to be your real data, just something we can copy/paste from the question to make it easier to help.

  • I was given an excel file, with nine different sheets containing stock prices, Price to book, price earnings etc. I had to create a ranking for each stock every year based on those sheets and create an object from those containing the stock prices. Calculate log ret, % growth and again combine them (in the corresponing quantile group) to a portfolio. I ended up with this because I wantet to split not only for quantile, but also for start month and sector

I wrote a recursive Reduce which should do what you want. So please read ?Reduce carefully.



Assuming your list of lists is named ll:



rReduce <- function(x) {
y <- Reduce("rbind", x)
if (is.list(y)) {
return(rReduce(y))
} else {
return(x)
}
}

res <- rReduce(ll)
print(res)
# Growth quantile Sector
#2002-01-31 0.227833070 1 Consumer Discretionary
#2002-01-311 0.097000461 1 Consumer Staples
#2002-01-312 -0.078767963 1 Energy
#2002-01-313 0.009642536 1 Financials
#2002-01-314 0.239390716 1 Health Care
#2002-01-315 0.062034987 1 Industrials
#2002-01-316 -0.084393011 1 Information Technology
#...


This is equivalent to



Reduce("rbind", Reduce("rbind", Reduce("rbind", ll)))


if I am not mistaken. Now, you still have the date issue in the rownames, but that is easily solve by something like:



res$Date <- as.Date(substr(rownames(res), 1, 10))
rownames(res) <- NULL
print(res)
# Growth quantile Sector Date
#1 0.227833070 1 Consumer Discretionary 2002-01-31
#2 0.097000461 1 Consumer Staples 2002-01-31
#3 -0.078767963 1 Energy 2002-01-31
#4 0.009642536 1 Financials 2002-01-31
#5 0.239390716 1 Health Care 2002-01-31

I wrote a recursive Reduce which should do what you want. So please read ?Reduce carefully.



Assuming your list of lists is named ll:



rReduce <- function(x) {
y <- Reduce("rbind", x)
if (is.list(y)) {
return(rReduce(y))
} else {
return(x)
}
}

res <- rReduce(ll)
print(res)
# Growth quantile Sector
#2002-01-31 0.227833070 1 Consumer Discretionary
#2002-01-311 0.097000461 1 Consumer Staples
#2002-01-312 -0.078767963 1 Energy
#2002-01-313 0.009642536 1 Financials
#2002-01-314 0.239390716 1 Health Care
#2002-01-315 0.062034987 1 Industrials
#2002-01-316 -0.084393011 1 Information Technology
#...


This is equivalent to



Reduce("rbind", Reduce("rbind", Reduce("rbind", ll)))


if I am not mistaken. Now, you still have the date issue in the rownames, but that is easily solve by something like:



res$Date <- as.Date(substr(rownames(res), 1, 10))
rownames(res) <- NULL
print(res)
# Growth quantile Sector Date
#1 0.227833070 1 Consumer Discretionary 2002-01-31
#2 0.097000461 1 Consumer Staples 2002-01-31
#3 -0.078767963 1 Energy 2002-01-31
#4 0.009642536 1 Financials 2002-01-31
#5 0.239390716 1 Health Care 2002-01-31
#6 0.062034987 1 Industrials 2002-01-31

I wrote a recursive Reduce which should do what you want. So please read ?Reduce carefully.



Assuming your list of lists is named ll:



rReduce <- function(x) {
y <- Reduce("rbind", x)
if (is.list(y)) {
return(rReduce(y))
} else {
return(x)
}
}

res <- rReduce(ll)
print(res)
# Growth quantile Sector
#2002-01-31 0.227833070 1 Consumer Discretionary
#2002-01-311 0.097000461 1 Consumer Staples
#2002-01-312 -0.078767963 1 Energy
#2002-01-313 0.009642536 1 Financials
#2002-01-314 0.239390716 1 Health Care
#2002-01-315 0.062034987 1 Industrials
#2002-01-316 -0.084393011 1 Information Technology
#...


This is equivalent to



Reduce("rbind", Reduce("rbind", Reduce("rbind", ll)))


if I am not mistaken. Now, you still have the date issue in the rownames, but that is easily solve by something like:



res$Date <- as.Date(substr(rownames(res), 1, 10))
rownames(res) <- NULL
print(res)
# Growth quantile Sector Date
#1 0.227833070 1 Consumer Discretionary 2002-01-31
#2 0.097000461 1 Consumer Staples 2002-01-31
#3 -0.078767963 1 Energy 2002-01-31
#4 0.009642536 1 Financials 2002-01-31
#5 0.239390716 1 Health Care 2002-01-31
#6 0.062034987 1 Industrials 2002-01-31
#7 -0.084393011 1 Information Technology 2002-01-31
#8 0.017074760 1 Materials 2002-01-31


The data used in the above is:
