"Uncount" a data frame

Performs the opposite operation to dplyr::count(), duplicating rows according to a weighting variable (or expression).

uncount(data, weights, .remove = TRUE, .id = NULL)

Arguments

data	A data frame, tibble, or grouped tibble.
weights	A vector of weights. Evaluated in the context of data; supports quasiquotation.
.remove	If TRUE, and weights is a single
.id	Supply a string to create a new variable which gives a unique identifier for each created row.

Examples

df <- tibble(x = c("a", "b"), n = c(1, 2))
uncount(df, n)
#> # A tibble: 3 x 1
#>   x    
#>   <chr>
#> 1 a    
#> 2 b    
#> 3 b    
uncount(df, n, .id = "id")
#> # A tibble: 3 x 2
#>   x        id
#>   <chr> <int>
#> 1 a         1
#> 2 b         1
#> 3 b         2

# You can also use constants
uncount(df, 2)
#> # A tibble: 4 x 2
#>   x         n
#>   <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 a         1
#> 2 a         1
#> 3 b         2
#> 4 b         2

# Or expressions
uncount(df, 2 / n)
#> # A tibble: 3 x 2
#>   x         n
#>   <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 a         1
#> 2 a         1
#> 3 b         2
