How to calculate mean value in R summarize statement based on a condition?


Coffee import data of several countries Problem background *Element *col has two categorical values: Import Quantity and Import Value item col has five categorical values: Coffee Green, Coffee Extracts, Coffee husks and skins, Coffee substitutes, and Roasted Coffee

Problem Statement I want to calculate the mean value for import quantity for each coffee item separately. I was trying to calculate the conditional mean but it's not working for me.

# Mean import quantity for coffee extracts for each country
mean_import_quantity <- import_data_cleaned %>%
    group_by(area) %>%
    drop_na() %>%
    summarize(mean_import_quantity=mean(...................))
new_sample <- structure(list(area = c("Afghanistan", "Afghanistan", "Afghanistan",

Solution

  • Before grouping by item to calculate the average value, you need to split the unit columns into two variables using pivot_wider().

    I renamed 1000 USD into k_usd because R can be weird if your column names starts with numbers or has spaces.

    The na.rm = TRUE parameter in mean() allows you to drop NA prior to compute the result (otherwise you will get NA)

    EDIT : To also group by area, you can add the variable to the group() function

    library(dplyr)
    library(tidyr)
    
    sample %>% 
      pivot_wider(names_from = unit, values_from = value) %>% 
      rename(k_usd = `1000 US$`) %>% 
      group_by(area, item) %>% 
      summarise(mean_tonnage = mean(tonnes, na.rm = T),
                mean_value = mean(k_usd, na.rm = T))
    

    Output of the mean summary :

    # A tibble: 30 x 4
    # Groups:   area [29]
       area                             item                             mean_tonnage mean_k_usd
