如何将变量名传递给R函数

我知道在不同场景中已经解释了几次，但我很难消化这个。

以下代码可以正常工作，只要它不在函数内部（见下文）。

df$season <- as.character(df$season) 
      temp <- model.matrix( ~ season - 1, data=df) 
      df <- cbind(df,temp)

在：

head(df[c(1,2)])
    datetime season
1 2011-01-01      1
2 2011-01-01      1
3 2011-01-01      1
4 2011-01-01      1
5 2011-01-01      1
6 2011-01-01      1

在：

> head(df[c(1,2,13:16)])
    datetime season season1 season2 season3 season4
1 2011-01-01      1       1       0       0       0
2 2011-01-01      1       1       0       0       0
3 2011-01-01      1       1       0       0       0
4 2011-01-01      1       1       0       0       0
5 2011-01-01      1       1       0       0       0
6 2011-01-01      1       1       0       0       0

但是，当我尝试将其包装在多用途函数中时：

binarize <- function(data, myvar) { 
  data$myvar <- as.character(data$myvar) 
  temp <- model.matrix( ~ myvar - 1, data=data) 
  data <- cbind(data,temp) 
}

它会抛出错误，无疑是因为它无法评估myvar或数据（或两者？）： $<-.data.frame中出错（*tmp*，“myvar”，值=字符（0））：   替换有0行，数据有10886

我尝试过使用eval（substitute（）），但仍然无法正常工作。我理想的最终状态是你从数据帧和变量开始，让函数将所选变量的所有值映射到单独的二进制列，并将其附加到原始数据帧。同样，当它不在一个函数中时，它可以完美地运行。

这是dput数据，如果它有助于重现。

> dput(head(df,50))

你真的不应该在函数内使用data$column，data[[column]]更安全。但我认为你可以将功能更改为这样的功能。不确定它是否能为您提供正确的结果，但它会完成评估。

binarize <- function(data, myvar) { 
    form <- substitute( ~ x - 1, list(x = as.name(myvar))) 
    temp <- model.matrix(eval(form), data = data) 
    cbind(data, temp)
}

甚至可能更简单

binarize <- function(data, myvar) {
    form <- as.formula(paste("~", myvar, "- 1"))
    temp <- model.matrix(form, data = data) 
    cbind(data, temp)
}

在任何一种情况下，都需要使用myvar变量的字符串调用该函数，即

binarize(df, "season")
