Hello,
Can we really make the assumption that the data is sorted. The original
example was not:
> I am working on a function to make a duplicated value unique. For example,
> the original vector would be like : a = c(2,1,1,3,3,3,4)
If we can make the assumption, here is a C++ based version:
nodup_cpp_assumingsorted <- cxxfunction( signature( x_ = "numeric" ), '
// since we modify x, we need to make a copy
NumericVector x = clone<NumericVector>(x_);
int n = x.size() ;
double current, previous = x[0] ;
int index ;
for( int i=1; i<n; i++){
current = x[i] ;
if( current == previous ){
x[i] = current + (++index) / 100.0 ;
} else {
index = 0 ;
}
previous = current ;
}
return x ;
', plugin = "Rcpp" )
with these results:
> x <- sort( sample( 1:100000, size = 300000, replace = TRUE ) )
> system.time( nodup3( x ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.090 0.004 0.094
> system.time( nodup3a( x ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.036 0.005 0.040
> system.time( nodup4( x ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.025 0.004 0.029
> system.time( nodup_cpp_assumingsorted( x) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.003 0.001 0.004
Now, if we don't make the assumption that the data is sorted, here is
another C++ based version:
require( inline )
require( Rcpp )
nodup_cpp <- cxxfunction( signature( x_ = "numeric" ), '
// since we modify x, we need to make a copy
NumericVector x = clone<NumericVector>(x_);
typedef std::map<double,int> imap ;
typedef imap::value_type pair ;
imap index ;
int n = x.size() ;
double current, previous = x[0] ;
index.insert( pair( previous, 0 ) );
imap::iterator it = index.begin() ;
for( int i=1; i<n; i++){
current = x[i] ;
if( current == previous ){
x[i] = current + ( ++(it->second) / 100.0 ) ;
} else {
it = index.find(current) ;
if( it == index.end() ){
it = index.insert(
current > previous ? it : index.begin(),
pair( current, 0 )
) ;
} else {
x[i] = current + ( ++(it->second) / 100.0 ) ;
}
previous = current ;
}
}
return x ;
', plugin = "Rcpp" )
which gives me this :
> x <- sample( 1:100000, size = 300000, replace = TRUE )
>
> system.time( nodup_cpp( x ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.111 0.002 0.113
> system.time( nodup3( sort( x ) ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.162 0.011 0.172
> system.time( nodup3a( sort( x ) ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.099 0.009 0.109
> system.time( nodup4( sort( x ) ) )
utilisateur système écoulé
0.089 0.004 0.094
so nodup4 is still faster, but the values are not in the right order:
> x <- c( 2, 1, 1, 2 )
> nodup4( sort( x ) )
[1] 1.00 1.01 2.00 2.01
> nodup_cpp( x )
[1] 2.00 1.00 1.01 2.01
