rowwise()
allows you to compute on a data frame a row-at-a-time.
This is most useful when a vectorised function doesn't exist.
Most dplyr verbs preserve row-wise grouping. The exception is summarise()
,
which return a grouped_df. You can explicitly ungroup with ungroup()
or as_tibble()
, or convert to a grouped_df with group_by()
.
# S3 method for class 'SingleCellExperiment'
rowwise(data, ...)
Input data frame.
<tidy-select
> Variables to be preserved
when calling summarise()
. This is typically a set of variables whose
combination uniquely identify each row.
NB: unlike group_by()
you can not create new variables here but
instead you can select multiple variables with (e.g.) everything()
.
A row-wise data frame with class rowwise_df
. Note that a
rowwise_df
is implicitly grouped by row, but is not a grouped_df
.
Because a rowwise has exactly one row per group it offers a small
convenience for working with list-columns. Normally, summarise()
and
mutate()
extract a groups worth of data with [
. But when you index
a list in this way, you get back another list. When you're working with
a rowwise
tibble, then dplyr will use [[
instead of [
to make your
life a little easier.
nest_by()
for a convenient way of creating rowwise data frames
with nested data.
