If we want to save a list to a text file then first step would be converting that list to a data frame then write.table function can be used for saving. For example, if we have a list defined as LIST and it has elements each containing 50 values then ... Read More

In European countries, a comma is used to separate the integral part of a number from the decimal part. Thus, we might want to create data or perform calculations with comma as decimal separator. In R, we can do this by just using the code options(OutDec=", "). Once we will ... Read More

The probability density distribution is the synonym of probability density function. It is a function that defines the density of a continuous random variable. In R, we can use density function to create a probability density distribution from a set of observations.Example Live Demox1

If we have a categorical column that has two or more categories and a numerical column then we might want to divide the one category numerical value from other category numerical value. This can be done by using divide sign / but we need to use the proper subset of ... Read More

To find the correlation of groups, we can use cor function but it cannot be directly used.For this purpose, we first need to set they key for group column of data table object. For example, if we have a data.table DT with one numerical column defined as x and one ... Read More

The upper triangular matrix can be replaced with lower triangular matrix by transposing the whole matrix and extracting upper triangular matrix from it then storing it in the original matrix. For example, if we have a matrix M then upper triangular matrix of M can be replaced with lower triangular ... Read More

If we have duplicate rows in an R data frame then we can remove them by using unique function with data frame object name. And if we want to order the data frame with duplicate rows based on a numerical column then firstly unique rows should be found then order ... Read More

We can create table of frequencies of a vector element by using table function and the ordering can be done by using sort function. If we want to order the frequencies in decreasing order then decreasing argument can be used. For example, if we have a vector x then the ... Read More

SVM is a supervised machine learning algorithm which can be used for both classification or regression challenges but mostly we use it for classification. The classification using svm can be done for two or more categories as well. In R, we can use simply use svm function of e1071 package.ExampleConsider ... Read More

The truncation means removing the number of decimal places but not rounding. For example, if we have a value 5.1742145 then truncating to one decimal place will be 5.1 and rounding will be 5.2. In R, we can do this by using trunc function as shown in the below examples.Example Live ... Read More
