When we have repeated elements in an R vector and the vector size is large then we might want to know the distinct values in that vector. This will help us to understand the unique values we have in our vector, so that we can create the appropriate chart and perform the appropriate analysis using that vector. This can be done by using length function with unique.Examples> x1 x1Output[1] 2 5 5 3 2 4 3 3 1 4 5 4 5 3 3 1 1 2 5 1 3 2 4 1 3 1 5 4 2 5 5 ...

Often the data frames and matrices in R, we get have missing values and if we want to find the correlation matrix for those data frames and matrices, we stuck. It happens with almost everyone in Data Analysis but we can solve that problem by using na.omit while using the cor function to calculate the correlation matrix. Check out the examples below for that.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> x1 x2 x3 x4 df head(df, 20)Output x1     x2    x3    x4 1 2 2.6347839 4 2.577690 2 3 0.3082031 1 6.250998 3 1 0.3082031 3 7.786711 4 1 ...

Mostly, the bar plot is created with frequency or count on the Y-axis in any way, whether it is manual or by using any software or programming language but sometimes we want to use percentages. It can be done by using scales package in R, that gives us the option labels=percent_format() to change the labels to percentage.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> x df dfOutput x 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 1 5 2 6 4 7 4 8 4 9 2 10 3 11 3 12 4 13 3 14 4 15 4 16 1 17 3 18 ...

While doing the data analysis, often we have to deal with factor data and we might want to find the frequency or count of a level of factor and the other variable combination. This helps us to make comparison within and between factor levels. Therefore, we can add a new column as count to find the required frequency and it can be done by using group_by and mutate function of dplyr package.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> Group Rating df head(df, 20)Output   Group Rating 1    A    1 2    B    6 3    C    2 4 ...

When we draw a scatterplot, there might be some crucial points that we would want to display, hence we create a vertical or horizontal based on our objective. These vertical or horizontal lines can be drawn by using geom_vline or geom_hline function of ggplot2 but to add some value with them we can use geom_text function.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> x y df dfOutput      x          y 1 1.2474363 -0.15892165 2 1.7511870 -1.18938250 3 -1.3001612 -0.32313571 4 -1.4220049 1.52915756 5 0.4355646 0.18282983 6 0.3128323 0.16467130 7 1.5099580 1.15199751 8 -0.4907705 -1.98635182 9 -1.4249190 -0.73298079 ...

To replace a value in an R vector, we can use replace function. It is better to save the replacement with a new object, even if you name that new object same as the original, otherwise the replacements will not work with further analysis. As you can see in the object x5(in examples), when we replaced 5 with 3, the previous replacement of -1 with 0 returned as in original vector. Therefore, we should save it in a new object.Examples> x1 x1Output[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > replace(x1, x1==5, 10)Output[1] 1 2 3 4 ...

If we have summary data for a group variable then we might want to look at the errors or say differences between mean and standard deviations visually, therefore, we can create a bar plot with error bars of standard deviations. This can be done by using geom_errorbar function of ggplot2 package.ExampleConsider the below data frame −Group

When we create a plot and put a title above it, the alignment of the title is left-adjusted by default and that lies on the edge of the plot area. But sometimes, we want to display the title on the above side of the Y-axis labels, therefore, we can use theme function and set the hjust argument accordingly.ExampleConsider the below data frame −x

ExampleThere exists a possibility that one of the variables is recorded in an opposite manner and we want to create a scatterplot using that variable. Therefore, we would need to reverse that variable while plotting. Suppose that variable is an independent variable, hence it will be plotted on X-axis. Thus, to reverse the X-axis labels we can use scale_x_reverse function of ggplot2 package.Consider the below data frame −Examplex

Weighted mean is the average which is determined by finding the sum of the products of weights and the values then dividing this sum by the sum of total weights. If the weights are in proportion then the total sum of the weights should be 1. In base R, we have a function weighted.mean to find the weighted mean in which we just need to pass the vector of values and the vector of weights.Examplesx1
