R xts 和 data.table

Question

我可以将 data.table 转换为 xts 对象，就像处理 data.frame 一样：

> df = data.frame(x = c("a", "b", "c", "d"), v = rnorm(4))
> dt = data.table(x = c("a", "b", "c", "d"), v = rnorm(4))
> xts(df, as.POSIXlt(c("2011-01-01 15:30:00", "2011-01-02 15:30:00", "2011-01-03 15:50:50", "2011-01-04 15:30:00")))
                    x   v           
2011-01-01 15:30:00 "a" "-1.2232283"
2011-01-02 15:30:00 "b" "-0.1654551"
2011-01-03 15:50:50 "c" "-0.4456202"
2011-01-04 15:30:00 "d" "-0.9416562"
> xts(dt, as.POSIXlt(c("2011-01-01 15:30:00", "2011-01-02 15:30:00", "2011-01-03 15:50:50", "2011-01-04 15:30:00")))
                    x   v           
2011-01-01 15:30:00 "a" " 1.3089579"
2011-01-02 15:30:00 "b" "-1.7681071"
2011-01-03 15:50:50 "c" "-1.4375100"
2011-01-04 15:30:00 "d" "-0.2467274"

将 data.table 与 xts 一起使用是否存在任何问题？

Answer 1

只是为了解决一个悬而未决的问题。

正如文森特在评论中指出的那样，这没有问题。

它包含在 data.table 1.9.5 中。下面是类似的内容：

as.data.table.xts <- function(x, keep.rownames = TRUE){
  stopifnot(requireNamespace("xts") || !missing(x) || xts::is.xts(x))
  r = setDT(as.data.frame(x), keep.rownames = keep.rownames)
  if(!keep.rownames) return(r[])
  setnames(r,"rn","index")
  setkeyv(r,"index")[]
}

as.xts.data.table <- function(x){
  stopifnot(requireNamespace("xts") || !missing(x) || is.data.table(x) || any(class(x[[1]] %in% c("POSIXct","Date"))))
  colsNumeric = sapply(x, is.numeric)[-1] # exclude first col, xts index
  if(any(!colsNumeric)){
    warning(paste("Following columns are not numeric and will be omitted:",paste(names(colsNumeric)[!colsNumeric],collapse=", ")))
  }
  r = setDF(x[,.SD,.SDcols=names(colsNumeric)[colsNumeric]])
  rownames(r) <- x[[1]]
  xts::as.xts(r)
}

Answer 2

由于 quantmod，通常有 xts 符号嵌入在所有列名称中。 （例如“SPY.Open”、“SPY.High”等）。因此，这是 Jan 的 as.data.table.xts 的替代方案，它将符号放在单独的列中，这在 data.table 中更自然（因为您在进行任何分析之前，可能会重新绑定其中的一些）。

as.data.table.xts <- function(x, ...) {
  cn <- colnames(x)
  sscn <- strsplit(cn, "\\.")  
  indexClass(x) <- c('POSIXct', 'POSIXt') #coerce index to POSIXct
  DT <- data.table(time=index(x), coredata(x))
  #DT <- data.table(IDateTime(index(x)), coredata(x))

  ## If there is a Symbol embedded in the colnames, strip it out and make it a 
  ## column
  if (all(sapply(sscn, "[", 1) == sscn[[1]][1])) {
    Symbol <- sscn[[1]][1]
    setnames(DT, names(DT)[-1], sub(paste0(Symbol, "."), "", cn))
    DT <- DT[, Symbol:=Symbol]
    setkey(DT, Symbol, time)[]
  } else {
    setkey(DT, time)[]
  }
}
