# R Programming/Sample Session – Wikibooks, open books for an open world

This web page is an introduction to the R programming language. It reveals tips on how to carry out quite simple duties utilizing R. First you have to have R put in (see the Settings web page). When you use Home windows or Mac OS, the simplest answer is to make use of the R Graphical Consumer Interface (click on on its icon). When you use Linux, open a terminal and sort `R` on the command immediate.

Often whenever you open R, you see a message much like the next within the console:

```R model 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) -- "Feather Spray"

You possibly can kind your code after the angle bracket `>`.

R can be utilized as a easy calculator and we will carry out any easy computation.

```
> # Pattern Session
> # This can be a remark
>
> 2 # print a quantity
[1] 2
> 2+3 # carry out a easy calculation
[1] 5
> log(2) # pure log
[1] 0.6931472
```

We will additionally retailer numeric or string objects.

```> x <- 2 # retailer an object
> x # print this object
[1] 2
> (x <- 3) # retailer and print an object
[1] 3
>
> x <- "Hey" # retailer a string object
> x
[1] "Hey"
```

We will additionally retailer vectors.

```> Top <- c(168, 177, 177, 177, 178, 172, 165, 171, 178, 170) #retailer a vector
> Top  # print the vector
[1] 168 177 177 177 178 172 165 171 178 170
>
> Top[2] # Print the second part
[1] 177
> Top[2:5] # Print the second, the third, the 4th and fifth part
[1] 177 177 177 178
>
> (obs <- 1:10) # Outline a vector as a sequence (1 to 10)
[1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
>
> Weight <- c(88, 72, 85, 52, 71, 69, 61, 61, 51, 75)
>
> BMI <- Weight/((Top/100)^2)   # Performs a easy calculation utilizing vectors
> BMI
[1] 31.17914 22.98190 27.13141 16.59804 22.40879 23.32342 22.40588 20.86112
[9] 16.09645 25.95156
```

We will additionally describe the vector with size(), imply() and var().

```> size(Top)
[1] 10
> imply(Top) # Compute the pattern imply
[1] 173.3
> var(Top)
[1] 22.23333
```

We will additionally outline a matrix.

```> M <- cbind(obs,Top,Weight,BMI) # Create a matrix
> typeof(M) # Give the kind of the matrix
[1] "double"
> class(M)  # Give the category of an object
[1] "matrix"
> is.matrix(M) # Examine if   M is a matrix
[1] TRUE
> is.vector(M)  # M will not be a vector
[1] FALSE
> dim(M)    # Dimensions of a matrix
[1] 10  4
```

We will plot the info utilizing plot().

```
> plot(Top,Weight,ylab="Weight",xlab="Top",fundamental="Corpulence")
```

We will outline a dataframe.

```
> mydat <- information.body(M) # Creates a dataframe
> names(mydat) # Give the names of every variable
[1] "obs"    "Top" "Weight" "BMI"
> str(mydat)   # give the construction of your information
'information.body':   10 obs. of  4 variables:
\$ obs   : num  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
\$ Top: num  168 177 177 177 178 172 165 171 178 170
\$ Weight: num  88 72 85 52 71 69 61 61 51 75
\$ BMI   : num  31.2 23 27.1 16.6 22.4 ...
>
> View(mydat)  # Have a look at your information
>
> abstract(mydat)  # Descriptive Statistics
obs            Top          Weight           BMI
Min.   : 1.00   Min.   :165.0   Min.   :51.00   Min.   :16.10
1st Qu.: 3.25   1st Qu.:170.2   1st Qu.:61.00   1st Qu.:21.25
Median : 5.50   Median :174.5   Median :70.00   Median :22.70
Imply   : 5.50   Imply   :173.3   Imply   :68.50   Imply   :22.89
3rd Qu.: 7.75   3rd Qu.:177.0   3rd Qu.:74.25   3rd Qu.:25.29
Max.   :10.00   Max.   :178.0   Max.   :88.00   Max.   :31.18

```

It can save you an R session (all of the objects in reminiscence) and cargo the session.

```> save.picture(file="~/Paperwork/Logiciels/R/check.rda")
```

We will outline a working listing. Observe for Home windows customers : R makes use of slash (“/”) within the listing as a substitute of backslash (“”).

```> setwd("~/Desktop")            # Units working listing (character string enclosed in "...")
> getwd()                       # Returns present working listing
> dir() * Lists the content material of the working listing
```

There are some particular characters in R

• NA : Not Out there (i.e. lacking values)
• NaN : Not a Quantity (e.g. 0/0)
• Inf: Infinity
• -Inf : Minus Infinity.

As an example Zero divided by Zero offers a NaN however 1 divided by Zero offers

${displaystyle +infty }$

``` > 0/0
[1] NaN
> 1/0
[1] Inf
```

We will exit R utilizing q(). The no argument specifies that the R session will not be saved.
