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 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
|
||
c(1,2,3,1,2,3) * c(1,2,1,2,1,2)
|
||
|
||
# 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 childrens' grade levels) or unordered (like gender)
|
||
factor(c("female", "female", "male", NA, "female"))
|
||
# female female male <NA> female
|
||
# Levels: female male
|
||
# The "levels" are the values the categorical data can take
|
||
# Note that missing data does not enter the levels
|
||
levels(factor(c("male", "male", "female", NA, "female"))) # "female" "male"
|
||
# If a factor vector has length 1, its levels will have length 1, too
|
||
length(factor("male")) # 1
|
||
length(levels(factor("male"))) # 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
|

# [1] "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.
