R is a statistical computing language. It has lots of libraries for uploading and cleaning data sets, running statistical procedures, and making graphs. You can also run `R` commands within a LaTeX document.

```r
# Comments start with hash signs, also known as number symbols (#).

# You can't make multi-line comments,
# but you can stack multiple comments like so.

# in Windows you can use CTRL-ENTER to execute a line.
# on Mac it is COMMAND-ENTER

# Data types and basic arithmetic
##################################################

# Now for the programming-oriented part of the tutorial.
# In this section you will meet the important data types of R:
# integers, numerics, characters, logicals, and factors.
# There are others, but these are the bare minimum you need to
# get started.

# INTEGERS
# Long-storage integers are written with L
5L          # 5
class(5L)   # "integer"
# (Try ?class for more information on the class() function.)
# In R, every single value, like 5L, is considered a vector of length 1
length(5L)  # 1
# You can have an integer vector with length > 1 too:
c(4L, 5L, 8L, 3L)          # 4 5 8 3
length(c(4L, 5L, 8L, 3L))  # 4
class(c(4L, 5L, 8L, 3L))   # "integer"

# NUMERICS
# A "numeric" is a double-precision floating-point number
5           # 5
class(5)    # "numeric"
# Again, everything in R is a vector;
# you can make a numeric vector with more than one element
c(3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1) # 3 3 3 2 2 1
# You can use scientific notation too
5e4         # 50000
6.02e23     # Avogadro's number
1.6e-35     # Planck length
# You can also have infinitely large or small numbers
class(Inf)  # "numeric"
class(-Inf) # "numeric"
# You might use "Inf", for example, in integrate(dnorm, 3, Inf);
# this obviates Z-score tables.

# BASIC ARITHMETIC
# You can do arithmetic with numbers
# Doing arithmetic on a mix of integers and numerics gives you another numeric
10L + 66L   # 76    # integer plus integer gives integer
53.2 - 4    # 49.2  # numeric minus numeric gives numeric
2.0 * 2L    # 4     # numeric times integer gives numeric
3L / 4      # 0.75  # integer over numeric gives numeric
3 %% 2      # 1     # the remainder of two numerics is another numeric
# Illegal arithmetic yields you a "not-a-number":
0 / 0       # NaN
class(NaN)  # "numeric"
# You can do arithmetic on two vectors with length greater than 1,
# so long as the larger vector's length is an integer multiple of the smaller
c(1, 2, 3) + c(1, 2, 3)     # 2 4 6
# Since a single number is a vector of length one, scalars are applied 
# elementwise to vectors
(4 * c(1, 2, 3) - 2) / 2    # 1 3 5
# Except for scalars, use caution when performing arithmetic on vectors with 
# different lengths. Although it can be done, 
c(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3) * c(1, 2)               # 1 4 3 2 2 6
# Matching lengths is better practice and easier to read most times
c(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3) * c(1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2)   # 1 4 3 2 2 6

# CHARACTERS
# There's no difference between strings and characters in R
"Horatio"           # "Horatio"
class("Horatio")    # "character"
class("H")          # "character"
# Those were both character vectors of length 1
# Here is a longer one:
c("alef", "bet", "gimmel", "dalet", "he")
# => "alef"   "bet"    "gimmel" "dalet"  "he"
length(c("Call","me","Ishmael")) # 3
# You can do regex operations on character vectors:
substr("Fortuna multis dat nimis, nulli satis.", 9, 15)  # "multis "
gsub('u', 'ø', "Fortuna multis dat nimis, nulli satis.") # "Fortøna møltis dat nimis, nølli satis."
# R has several built-in character vectors:
letters
# =>
#  [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s"
# [20] "t" "u" "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"
month.abb # "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" "May" "Jun" "Jul" "Aug" "Sep" "Oct" "Nov" "Dec"

# LOGICALS
# In R, a "logical" is a boolean
                
class(TRUE)     # "logical"
class(FALSE)    # "logical"
# Their behavior is normal
TRUE == TRUE    # TRUE
TRUE == FALSE   # FALSE
FALSE != FALSE  # FALSE
FALSE != TRUE   # TRUE
# Missing data (NA) is logical, too
class(NA)       # "logical"
# Use | and & for logic operations.
# OR
TRUE | FALSE    # TRUE
# AND
TRUE & FALSE    # FALSE
# Applying | and & to vectors returns elementwise logic operations
c(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE) | c(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE)   # TRUE TRUE FALSE
c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE) & c(FALSE, TRUE, TRUE)     # FALSE FALSE TRUE
# You can test if x is TRUE
isTRUE(TRUE)    # TRUE
# Here we get a logical vector with many elements:
c("Z", "o", "r", "r", "o") == "Zorro"   # FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
c("Z", "o", "r", "r", "o") == "Z"       # TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE

# FACTORS
# The factor class is for categorical data
# Factors can be ordered (like grade levels) or unordered (like colors)
factor(c("blue", "blue", "green", NA, "blue"))
#  blue blue green   <NA>   blue
# Levels: blue green
# The "levels" are the values the categorical data can take
# Note that missing data does not enter the levels
levels(factor(c("green", "green", "blue", NA, "blue"))) # "blue" "green"
# If a factor vector has length 1, its levels will have length 1, too
length(factor("green"))         # 1
length(levels(factor("green"))) # 1
# Factors are commonly seen in data frames, a data structure we will cover later
data(infert)             # "Infertility after Spontaneous and Induced Abortion"
levels(infert$education) # "0-5yrs"  "6-11yrs" "12+ yrs"

# NULL
# "NULL" is a weird one; use it to "blank out" a vector
class(NULL) # NULL
parakeet = c("beak", "feathers", "wings", "eyes")
parakeet # "beak"     "feathers" "wings"    "eyes"
parakeet <- NULL
parakeet # NULL

# TYPE COERCION
# Type-coercion is when you force a value to take on a different type
as.character(c(6, 8))   # "6" "8"
as.logical(c(1,0,1,1))  # TRUE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE
# If you put elements of different types into a vector, weird coercions happen:
c(TRUE, 4)          # 1 4
c("dog", TRUE, 4)   # "dog"  "TRUE" "4"
as.numeric("Bilbo")
# =>
# [1] NA
# Warning message:
# NAs introduced by coercion

# Also note: those were just the basic data types
# There are many more data types, such as for dates, time series, etc.



##################################################
# Variables, loops, if/else
##################################################

# A variable is like a box you store a value in for later use.
# We call this "assigning" the value to the variable.
# Having variables lets us write loops, functions, and if/else statements

# VARIABLES
# Lots of way to assign stuff:
x = 5       # this is possible
y <- "1"    # this is preferred traditionally
TRUE -> z   # this works but is weird
# Refer to the Internet for the behaviors and preferences about them.

# LOOPS
# We've got for loops
for (i in 1:4) {
	print(i)
}
# We've got while loops
a <- 10
while (a > 4) {
	cat(a, "...", sep = "")
	a <- a - 1
}
# Keep in mind that for and while loops run slowly in R
# Operations on entire vectors (i.e. a whole row, a whole column)
# or apply()-type functions (we'll discuss later) are preferred

# IF/ELSE
# Again, pretty standard
if (4 > 3) {
	print("4 is greater than 3")
} else {
	print("4 is not greater than 3")
}
# =>
# [1] "4 is greater than 3"

# FUNCTIONS
# Defined like so:
jiggle <- function(x) {
	x = x + rnorm(1, sd=.1) # add in a bit of (controlled) noise
	return(x)
}
# Called like any other R function:
jiggle(5)   # 5±ε. After set.seed(2716057), jiggle(5)==5.005043



###########################################################################
# Data structures: Vectors, matrices, data frames, and arrays
###########################################################################

# ONE-DIMENSIONAL

# Let's start from the very beginning, and with something you already know: vectors.
vec <- c(8, 9, 10, 11)
vec     #  8  9 10 11
# We ask for specific elements by subsetting with square brackets
# (Note that R starts counting from 1)
vec[1]          # 8
letters[18]     # "r"
LETTERS[13]     # "M"
month.name[9]   # "September"
c(6, 8, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9)[3] # 7
# We can also search for the indices of specific components,
which(vec %% 2 == 0) # 1 3
# grab just the first or last few entries in the vector,
head(vec, 1)    # 8
tail(vec, 2)    # 10 11
# or figure out if a certain value is in the vector
any(vec == 10)  # TRUE
# If an index "goes over" you'll get NA:
vec[6]      # NA
# You can find the length of your vector with length()
length(vec) # 4
# You can perform operations on entire vectors or subsets of vectors
vec * 4             # 32 36 40 44
vec[2:3] * 5        # 45 50
any(vec[2:3] == 8)  # FALSE
# and R has many built-in functions to summarize vectors
mean(vec)   # 9.5
var(vec)    # 1.666667
sd(vec)     # 1.290994
max(vec)    # 11
min(vec)    # 8
sum(vec)    # 38
# Some more nice built-ins:
5:15        # 5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15
seq(from = 0, to = 31337, by = 1337)
# =>

# TWO-DIMENSIONAL (ALL ONE CLASS)

# You can make a matrix out of entries all of the same type like so:
mat <- matrix(nrow = 3, ncol = 2, c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
mat
# =>
#      [,1] [,2]
# [1,]    1    4
# [2,]    2    5
# [3,]    3    6
# Unlike a vector, the class of a matrix is "matrix", no matter what's in it
class(mat)      # "matrix" "array"
# Ask for the first row
mat[1, ]        # 1 4
# Perform operation on the first column
3 * mat[, 1]    # 3 6 9
# Ask for a specific cell
mat[3, 2]       # 6

# Transpose the whole matrix
t(mat)
# =>
#      [,1] [,2] [,3]
# [1,]    1    2    3
# [2,]    4    5    6

# Matrix multiplication
mat %*% t(mat)
# =>
#      [,1] [,2] [,3]
# [1,]   17   22   27
# [2,]   22   29   36
# [3,]   27   36   45

# cbind() sticks vectors together column-wise to make a matrix
mat2 <- cbind(1:4, c("dog", "cat", "bird", "dog"))
mat2
# =>
#      [,1] [,2]
# [1,] "1"  "dog"
# [2,] "2"  "cat"
# [3,] "3"  "bird"
# [4,] "4"  "dog"
class(mat2) # matrix
# Again, note what happened!
# Because matrices must contain entries all of the same class,
# everything got converted to the character class
c(class(mat2[, 1]), class(mat2[, 2]))

# rbind() sticks vectors together row-wise to make a matrix
mat3 <- rbind(c(1, 2, 4, 5), c(6, 7, 0, 4))
mat3
# =>
#      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
# [1,]    1    2    4    5
# [2,]    6    7    0    4
# Ah, everything of the same class. No coercions. Much better.

# TWO-DIMENSIONAL (DIFFERENT CLASSES)

# For columns of different types, use a data frame
# This data structure is so useful for statistical programming,
# a version of it was added to Python in the package "pandas".

students <- data.frame(c("Cedric", "Fred", "George", "Cho", "Draco", "Ginny"),
                       c(       3,      2,        2,     1,       0,      -1),
                       c(     "H",    "G",      "G",   "R",     "S",     "G"))

# The data.frame() function used to convert character vectors to factor
# vectors by default; This has changed in R 4.0.0. If your R version is
# older, turn this off by setting stringsAsFactors = FALSE when you
# create the data.frame
?data.frame

# There are many twisty ways to subset data frames, all subtly unalike

# An augmented version of the data.frame structure is the data.table
# If you're working with huge or panel data, or need to merge a few data
# sets, data.table can be a good choice. Here's a whirlwind tour:
install.packages("data.table") # download the package from CRAN
require(data.table) # load it

students # note the slightly different print-out
# =>

# =>
#      name year house
# 1:   Fred    2     G

# data.table makes merging two data sets easy

# Finally, R has lists (of vectors)
list1 <- list(time = 1:40)

# You can get items in the list like so
list1$time # one way
list1[["time"]] # another way
list1[[1]] # yet another way
# =>
#  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33
# [34] 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
# You can subset list items like any other vector
list1$price[4]

# Lists are not the most efficient data structure to work with in R;
# unless you have a very good reason, you should stick to data.frames
# Lists are often returned by functions that perform linear regressions
