If we have multiples data frames of same size stored in a list and we believe that these data frames have similar characteristic then we can create a single data frame. This can be done with the help of do.call. For example, if we have a list defined with the name List containing data frames with equal number of rows with their names then a single data frame can be created do.call(rbind,unname(List)).Exampledf1

Sometimes all the columns in a data frame have similar data characteristics representing a particular variable. For example, having a data frame containing five columns each with heights of people. To convert this type of data frame into a vector we can use as.vector function along with the as.matrix function. The as.matrix will read the data frame columns so that the array of values can be created.Example1y1

To find the extremes of a data frame column that is numeric can be done with the help of min and max function but if we want to get the same in single line code then range function can be used. If there are some infinity values in the column then range.default function will be used as shown in the below example.Exampley1

To find the least number of arguments a function expects while using in R can be done with the help of the syntax: length(formals(“function_name”)). For example, to find the number of arguments expected by mutate function of dplyr package can be calculated by using the command length(formals(mutate)) but we need to make sure that the package is loaded.Exampleslibrary(ggplot2) length(formals(ggplot))Output[1] 4 length(formals(boxplot)) [1] 2 length(formals(qnorm)) [1] 5 length(formals(rnorm)) [1] 3 length(formals(rpois)) [1] 2 length(formals(runif)) [1] 3 length(formals(punif)) [1] 5 length(formals(plot)) [1] 3 length(formals(pbinom)) [1] 5 length(formals(qbinom)) [1] 5 length(formals(hist)) [1] 2 length(formals(data)) [1] 7 length(formals(matrix)) [1] 5 length(formals(list)) [1] 0 length(formals(data.frame)) ...

If we have two plots generated by using ggplot2 and arranged in a list then we can create them using ggarrange function. For example, if we have two objects p1 and p2 that are stored in the list called named as LIST then those plots can be created in the plot window by using the command ggarrange(plotlist=LIST,widths=c(2,1),labels=c("Scatter","Hist"))ExampleConsider the below data frame −set.seed(21) x

A sparse matrix is a type of matrix that has most of the elements equal to zero but there is no restriction for the number of zero elements. As a general criterion the number of non−zero elements are expected to be equal to the number of rows or number of columns. To create a sparse matrix in R, we can use sparseMatrix function of Matrix package.Example1i

Sometimes we want to convert a column of an R data frame to binary column using 0 and 1, it is especially done in situations where we have some NAs in the column of the data frame and the other values can be converted to 1 due to some characteristics. To replace NA with 0 and other values to 1, we can use ifelse function.Example1y1
