We recommend to you install and use the latest version of R and RStudio IDE.
The common R data types for research are numeric, factor, and character.
Numeric
a <- c(-1, -3, 0, 5, 7, 8, 4, 6.3, 10)
- "<-" is assignment operator
- "c()" function combines values into a vector or list.
- We can get help about functions by using question mark and the name of the function, for example:
?c()
Factor
drink_vector <- (c('milk', 'water', 'juice'))
drink_vector
# [1] "milk" "water" "juice"
drink_factor <- factor(drink_vector)
drink_factor
# [1] milk water juice
# Levels: juice milk water
Character
d<-c('Hellow world', 'R is fun!')
d
# [1] "Hellow world" "R is fun!"
Create dataframe:
a <- c(1, 3, 5, 7)
b <- c(2, 4, 6, 8)
df<-data.frame(a, b)
df
Add a column with $ operator
df$new_column <- c(1, 2, 3, 4)
df
Add a column with cbind function
df <- cbind(df, new_new_column = c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'))
df
View df as table in RStudio
view(df)
Get names of dataframe
names(df)
Display the Structure of the dataframe
str(df)
Summary
summary(df)
