如何使这个R矩阵填充函数更快?

6
前不久我写了一个函数来填充时间序列矩阵中的 NA 值,以符合所需的规格,并且在一些大小约为 50000 行、350 列的矩阵上偶尔使用。矩阵可以包含数字或字符值。主要问题是修复矩阵很慢,我想评估一些专家如何更快地完成这项任务。
我猜想转到 rcpp 或并行运算可能会有所帮助,但我认为这可能是我的设计而不是 R 本身效率低下。通常我会在 R 中向量化所有内容,但由于缺失值没有遵循任何模式,我没有找到其他方法,只能逐行处理矩阵。
此函数需要被调用,以便它可以向前传递缺失值,并且可以快速调用以仅使用最新已知值来填充最新值。
以下是一个示例矩阵:
testMatrix <- structure(c(NA, NA, NA, 29.98, 66.89, NA, -12.78, -11.65, NA, 
 4.03, NA, NA, NA, 29.98, 66.89, NA, -12.78, -11.65, NA, NA, NA, 
 NA, NA, 29.98, 66.89, NA, -12.78, NA, NA, 4.76, NA, NA, NA, NA, 
 66.89, NA, -12.78, NA, NA, 4.76, NA, NA, NA, 29.98, 66.89, NA, 
 -12.78, NA, NA, 4.76, NA, NA, NA, 29.98, 66.89, NA, -12.78, NA, 
 NA, 4.39, NA, NA, NA, 29.98, 66.89, NA, -10.72, -11.65, NA, 4.39, 
 NA, NA, NA, 29.98, 50.65, NA, -10.72, -11.65, NA, 4.39, NA, NA, 
 4.72, NA, 50.65, NA, -10.72, -38.61, 45.3, NA), .Dim = c(10L, 
 9L), .Dimnames = list(c("ID_a", "ID_b", "ID_c", "ID_d", "ID_e", 
 "ID_f", "ID_g", "ID_h", "ID_i", "ID_j"), c("2010-09-30", "2010-10-31",

print(testMatrix)

这是我目前使用的函数:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# GetMatrixWithBlanksFilled
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Arguments:
# inputMatrix --- A matrix with gaps in the time series rows
# fillGapMax  --- The max number of columns to carry a number
#                 forward if there are no more values in the
#                 time series row.
#
# Returns:
# A matrix with gaps filled.

GetMatrixWithBlanksFilled <- function(inputMatrix, fillGapMax = 6, forwardLooking = TRUE) {

    if("DEBUG_ON" %in% ls(globalenv())){browser()}

    cntRow <- nrow(inputMatrix)
    cntCol <- ncol(inputMatrix)

    # 
    if (forwardLooking) {
        for (i in 1:cntRow) {
            # Store the location of the first non NA element in the row
            firstValueCol <- (1:cntCol)[!is.na(inputMatrix[i,])][1]
            if (!(is.na(firstValueCol))) {
                if (!(firstValueCol == cntCol)) {
                    nextValueCol <- firstValueCol
                    # If there is a a value number in the row and it's not at the end of the time
                    # series, start iterating through the row while there are more NA values and
                    # more data values and not at the end of the row continue.
                    while ((sum(as.numeric(is.na(inputMatrix[i,nextValueCol:cntCol]))))>0 && (sum(as.numeric(!is.na(inputMatrix[i,nextValueCol:cntCol]))))>0 && !(nextValueCol == cntCol)) {
                        # Find the next NA element
                        nextNaCol <- (nextValueCol:cntCol)[is.na(inputMatrix[i,nextValueCol:cntCol])][1]
                        # Find the next value element
                        nextValueCol <- (nextNaCol:cntCol)[!is.na(inputMatrix[i,nextNaCol:cntCol])][1]
                        # If there is another value element then fill up all NA elements in between with the last known value
                        if (!is.na(nextValueCol)) {
                            inputMatrix[i,nextNaCol:(nextValueCol-1)] <- inputMatrix[i,(nextNaCol-1)]
                        } else {
                            # If there is no other value element then fill up all NA elements up to the max number supplied
                            # with the last known value unless it's close to the end of the row then just fill up to the end.
                            inputMatrix[i,nextNaCol:min(nextNaCol+fillGapMax,cntCol)] <- inputMatrix[i,(nextNaCol-1)]
                            nextValueCol <- cntCol
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    } else {
        for (i in 1:cntRow) {
            if (is.na(inputMatrix[i,ncol(inputMatrix)])) {
                tempRow <- inputMatrix[i,max(1,length(inputMatrix[i,])-fillGapMax):length(inputMatrix[i,])]
                if (length(tempRow[!is.na(tempRow)])>0) {
                    lastNonNaLocation <- (length(tempRow):1)[!is.na(tempRow)][length(tempRow[!is.na(tempRow)])]
                    inputMatrix[i,(ncol(inputMatrix)-lastNonNaLocation+2):ncol(inputMatrix)] <- tempRow[!is.na(tempRow)][length(tempRow[!is.na(tempRow)])]
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return(inputMatrix)
}

我会这样调用它:

这个例子运行速度很快,但是有没有办法让它在处理大矩阵时更快?

> n <- 38
> m <- 5000
> bigM <- matrix(rep(testMatrix,n*m),m*nrow(testMatrix),n*ncol(testMatrix),FALSE)
> system.time(output <- GetMatrixWithBlanksFilled(bigM,fillGapMax=12,forwardLooking=TRUE))
   user  system elapsed 
  86.47    0.06   87.24

这个虚拟数据集中有很多只有NA的行和完全填充的行,但正常的行大约需要15-20分钟。
更新:
关于Charles关于na.locf未完全反映上述逻辑的评论:下面是最终函数如何排除输入检查等的简化版本:
FillGaps <- function( dataMatrix, fillGapMax ) {

    require("zoo")

    numRow <- nrow(dataMatrix) 
    numCol <- ncol(dataMatrix) 

    iteration <- (numCol-fillGapMax)

    if(length(iteration)>0) {
        for (i in iteration:1) {
            tempMatrix <- dataMatrix[,i:(i+fillGapMax),drop=FALSE]
            tempMatrix <- t(zoo::na.locf(t(tempMatrix), na.rm=FALSE, maxgap=fillGapMax))
            dataMatrix[,i:(i+fillGapMax)] <- tempMatrix
        }
    }

    return(dataMatrix)
}

这似乎是需要本地代码加速器的情况--如果该方法有名称,请尝试在CRAN中找到它;如果没有或者没有找到,您应该使用C或Fortran实现并从R中运行(虽然很容易--请参见R-ext)。或者使用Rcpp进行更轻松的转换。 - mbq

我可能错了,但我认为这是在zoo包中实现的:使用na.locf函数。

对于您提供的示例矩阵,首先我们应该转置它,在调用na函数后,我们会“重新转置”结果矩阵。例如:

使用na.locf可以提高性能,效果如下:
>  system.time(output <- GetMatrixWithBlanksFilled(bigM,fillGapMax=12,forwardLooking=TRUE))
   user  system elapsed 
 79.238   0.540  80.398 
> system.time(output <- t(na.locf(t(bigM), na.rm=FALSE, maxgap=12)))
   user  system elapsed 
 17.129   0.267  17.513 

谢谢,我忘记了na.locf,尽管之前用过几次。即使写了这个函数一段时间了。现在运行得很好。看看rcpp版本与na.locf相比可能会有趣,但我猜效果不会更好。 - Hansi
请注意,na.locf的maxgap与我对您的fillGapMax的理解略有不同。如果长度超过maxgap,na.locf将根本不会填补间隙,而我认为您的fillGapMax是将被填补的间隙的最大量。 - Charles
是的,Charles,我注意到了。如果我将maxgap设置为足够高的数字以链接时间序列,则仍然可以达到主要目的。虽然通过切换方法可能会有一些系列掉落,但这没关系,因为至少在最后,如果maxgap比最后一个值的NA更远,则会填充结尾。而速度的提高比保持时间序列可行性的尝试更重要。 - Hansi
