I did a quick benchmark to show that uncount() is a lot faster than expand()
# for the pipe
library(magrittr)
# create some test data
df_test <-
tibble::tibble(
letter = letters,
row_count = sample(1:10, size = 26, replace = TRUE)
)
# benchmark
bench <- microbenchmark::microbenchmark(
expand = df_test %>%
dplyr::group_by(letter) %>%
tidyr::expand(row_count = seq(1:row_count)),
uncount = df_test %>%
tidyr::uncount(row_count)
)
# plot the benchmark
ggplot2::autoplot(bench)
