Perform a different simple custom function based on group
I have data with three groups and would like to perform a different custom function on each of the three groups. Rather than write three separate functions, and calling them all separately, I'm wondering whether I can easily wrap all three into one function with a 'group' parameter.
For example, say I want the mean for group A:
library(tidyverse)
data(iris)
iris$Group <- c(rep("A", 50), rep("B", 50), rep("C", 50))
f_a <- function(df){
out <- df %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarise(mean = mean(Sepal.Length))
return(out)
}
The median for group B
f_b <- function(df){
out <- df %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarise(median = median(Sepal.Length))
return(out)
}
And the standard deviation for group C
f_c <- function(df){
out <- df %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarise(sd= sd(Sepal.Length))
return(out)
}
Is there any way I can combine the above functions and run them according to a group parameter?? Like: fx(df, group = "A")
Which would produce the results of the above f_a function??
Keeping in mind that in my actual use context, I can't simply group_by(group) in the original function, since the actual functions are more complex. Thanks!!
