Suppose that I have a this list of associations
data = {<|"axis" -> x, "model" -> a, "p1" -> 1, "p2" -> 2|>,
<|"axis" -> x, "model" -> b, "p1" -> 3, "p2" -> 4|>,
<|"axis" -> y, "model" -> a, "p1" -> 5, "p2" -> 6|>,
<|"axis" -> y, "model" -> b, "p1" -> 7, "p2" -> 8|>}
and I group the data into a nested association form:
grouped = GroupBy[data,
{Key["axis"] -> KeyDrop["axis"],
Key["model"] -> KeyDrop["model"]},
First]
<|x -> <|a -> <|"p1" -> 1, "p2" -> 2|>,
b -> <|"p1" -> 3, "p2" -> 4|> |>,
y -> <|a -> <|"p1" -> 5, "p2" -> 6|>,
b -> <|"p1" -> 7, "p2" -> 8|> |> |>
How could you reverse this operation?
I have found a way to reverse it but it is very convoluted:
grouped //
AssociationMap[
Function[{rule1},
Keys[rule1] -> (AssociationMap[
Function[{rule2},
Keys[rule2] ->
Prepend[Values@rule2, {"axis" -> Keys[rule1],
"model" -> Keys[rule2]}]], Values[rule1]])]] //
Query[Values, Values] //
Flatten
I am looking for a more readable way to do this. Ideally one would use something like MatAt but as far as I know one cannot access values from higher levels on nested associations like this.
Answer
This looks a little simpler:
Catenate @ MapIndexed[
Append[#,Thread[{"axis", "model"} -> Replace[#2, Key[x_] :> x, {1}] ]] &,
grouped,
{2}
]
(*
{
<|"p1" -> 1, "p2" -> 2, "axis" -> x, "model" -> a|>,
<|"p1" -> 3, "p2" -> 4, "axis" -> x, "model" -> b|>,
<|"p1" -> 5, "p2" -> 6, "axis" -> y, "model" -> a|>,
<|"p1" -> 7, "p2" -> 8, "axis" -> y, "model" -> b|>
}
*)
I didn't care about the order of keys, but if it matters, it can be easily fixed too.
EDIT
Generalization by WReach:
ungroup[keys_][assocs_] :=
With[{l = {Length@keys}},
Level[
MapIndexed[<|Thread[keys -> #2[[All, 1]]], #|> &, assocs, l],
l
]
]
This can be used as:
ungroup[{"axis", "model"}][grouped]
And in this particular case, yields the same result, but can be used also for more (or less) deep nesting.
