What are some examples of data sets with missing values in R?
Instructors/educators often need to teach missing value imputation to their students; hence they require datasets that contains some missing values or they need to create one. We also have some data sets with missing values available in R such as airquality data in base R and food data in VIM package. There could be many other packages that contain data sets with missing values but it would take a lot of time to explore them. Thus, we have shared the example of airquality and some data sets from VIM package.Example 1head(airquality, 20)Output Ozone Solar.R Wind Temp Month Day 1 41 ...
Read MoreHow to concatenate string vectors separated with hyphen in R?
The concatenation of string vectors will create combination of the values in the vectors thus, we can use them for interaction between/among the vectors. In R, we can use expand.grid along with apply to create such type of combinations as shown in the below examples.Example 1x1
Read MoreHow to match the names of a vector in sequence with string vector values in another vector having same values in R?
If we want to match the names of a vector in sequence with string vector values in another vector having same values then pmatch function can be used. The pmatch function means pattern match hence it matches all the corresponding values and returns the index of the values. Check out the below examples to understand how it works.Examplex1
Read MoreHow to set the Y-axis tick marks using ggplot2 in R?
The default value of Y-axis tick marks using ggplot2 are taken by R using the provided data but we can set it by using scale_y_continuous function of ggplot2 package. For example, if we want to have values starting from 1 to 10 with a gap of 1 then we can use scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(1,10,by=1)).ExampleConsider the below data frame: x
Read MoreHow to add a rank column in base R of a data frame?
Ranking of a variable has many objectives such as defining order based on hierarchy but in data science, we use it mainly for analyzing non-parametric data. The ranking of a variable in an R data frame can be done by using rank function. For example, if we have a data frame df that contains column x then rank of values in x can be found as rank(df$x).ExampleConsider the below data frame: x1
Read MoreHow to find the absolute maximum of a matrix with sign if it contains negative values in R?
If we have positive as well as negative values in a matrix then the maximum of the matrix will be a positive number but if we want to ignore the sign then a number represented with negative sign can also be the maximum. If we want to get the maximum with its sign then which.max function can be used in R. Check out the below examples to understand how to do it.ExampleM1
Read MoreHow to create a column with the serial number of values in character column of an R data frame?
A group column in an R data frame have duplicate values and we might want to create a column with the serial number based on the values such as first value of the first group gets 1, the same value gets 2 when occurred second time in the same column and so on. This can be done by using ave function as shown in the below examples.ExampleConsider the below data frame −S.No
Read MoreHow to find the mean of three-dimensional array in R?
A three-dimensional array can have matrices of different size and they are not necessarily to be square or rectangular. Also, all the elements in an array are of same data type. If we want to find the mean of a three-dimensional array then apply function can be used where we need to refer the columns and rows of the array elements using combination function.ExampleA1 apply(A1,c(1,2),mean) [,1] [,2] [1,] 5 7 [2,] 6 8ExampleA2
Read MoreHow to create a rectangle inside boxplot in base R?
To create a rectangle inside boxplot in base R, we can use rect function after creating the boxplot. The rect function has many arguments but for the creation of a rectangle only first four are necessary and these are defined as xleft - a vector (or scalar) of left x positions, ybottom - a vector (or scalar) of bottom y positions, xright - a vector (or scalar) of right x positions and ytop - a vector (or scalar) of top y positions.Examplex
Read MoreHow to create a table of sums of a discrete variable for two categorical variables in an R data frame?
If we want to create a table of sums of a discrete variable for two categorical variables then xtabs function can be used. The output will be a contingency table or cross tabulation table which looks like a matrix. For example, if we have a data frame df with two categorical column x and y and a count column freq then the table of sums for freq can be created by using xtabs(freq~x+y,data=df1).ExampleConsider the below data frame −x1
