Sometimes column values in an R data frame have single quote associated with them and to perform the analysis we need to remove that quote. Therefore, to remove single quote from string column, we can use gsub function by defining the single quote and replacing it with blank(not space) as shown in the below examples.Consider the below data frame −Examplex1

To sort a matrix column independently in increasing order means that ordering each column of the data frame in increasing order, therefore, sorting of values in one column does not affect the sorting in other columns. This can be done with the help of apply function along with the sort function as shown in the below examples.ExampleM1

To save an xtable file locally, obviously we first need to create the xtable and then use the print function for saving the file. Therefore, we require xtable package loaded in R environment and the data set that we want to save as an xtable file. In the below example, we have used iris data in base R for this purpose. Take a look at the example to understand how it works.Loading xtable package −library(xtable)Considering iris data −Exampledata(iris) head(iris, 20)OutputSepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width   Species 1  5.1           3.5         1.4     ...

To display a line in segment of a plot, we can use geom_segment function of ggplot2 package where we need to pass the initial and the ending values for both the axes. For example, if we have data frame called df that contains x and y then a scatterplot with a line segment can be created by using the below command −ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()+ geom_segment(aes(x=xstart,xend=xlast,y=ystart,yend=ylast))Consider the below data frame −Examplex

If we have a data frame called df that contains four columns say x, y, z, and a then the two factor interaction columns will be xy, xz, xa, yz, ya, za. To find how many two factor interaction variables can be created using data frame columns, we can make use of combn function as shown in the below examples.Consider the below data frame −Examplex1

To extract only factor column names from an R data frame, we can use names function with Filter by selecting only factor columns using as.factor. For example, if we have a data frame called df that contains some factor columns then the extraction of names of these factor columns can be done by using names(Filter(is.factor,df)).Consider the below data frame −Examplex1

A qqplot is the plot of quantiles that helps to understand whether the supplied data comes from the specified distribution, mostly it is used to check whether the data follows normal distribution or not. If we want to create the qqplot with confidence interval then qqPlot function of car package can be used as shown in the below example.Consider the below data frame −Examplex

By default, the space between bars is equal irrespective of the number of bars in the plot. If we want to have different space between bars then space arguments need to be used inside the barplot function but the first value does not make an impact because the first space is fixed between Y-axis and the first bar. For example, if we have a vector x that contains three values then the barplot with different space between bars can be created by using the below command −barplot(x,space=c(0.5,0.1,0.5))Examplex

Most of the times the date data is available only in date format and there is not information about the quarter of the year. The quarter of the year is required when we want compare the quarters or do some time series analysis. For the conversion of date into quarter and year can be done by using as.yearqtr function from zoo package as shown in the below examples.Examplelibrary(zoo) as.yearqtr("2021-01-19", format="%Y-%m-%d")Output[1] "2021 Q1"as.yearqtr("2021-04-19", format="%Y-%m-%d")[1] "2021 Q2"as.yearqtr(c("2021-04-19", "2020-05-24", "2020-11-09"), format="%Y-%m-%d")[1] "2021 Q2" "2020 Q2" "2020 Q4" Examplex1
