31  groupedHyperframe

The examples in Chapter 31 require that the search path contains the following namespaces,

library(groupedHyperframe)
library(survival)

31.1 Use groupedHyperframe as grouped_ppp() input

A curious reader may wonder, is it possible to create a grouped hyper data frame with one-and-only-one ppp-hypercolumn, from a grouped hyper data frame? Listing 31.1 creates a grouped hyper data frame lung_g2 which retains the \(x\)- and \(y\)-coords,

Listing 31.1: Example: lung_g2 retaining \(x\)- and \(y\)-coords
Code 
lung_g2 = wrobel_lung |>
  within.data.frame(expr = {
    dapi = NULL
  }) |>
  as.groupedHyperframe(group = ~ patient_id/image_id)
lung_g2

Can we convert the grouped hyper data frame lung_g2 into something similar to the grouped hyper data frame s (Section 3.1)? Unfortunately, such functionality is not planned for package groupedHyperframe (v0.3.0.20251020).
