Generally, if we extract a single column from an R data frame then it is extracted as a vector but we might want it in data frame form so that we can apply operations of a data frame on it. Therefore, we can use single square brackets for the extraction ... Read More

If we have repeated values in a vector that means we have ties in the vector, therefore, the indexes of values will help us to identify the positions of a particular value in the vector. We can use which function with min function to find the positions of minimum values ... Read More

To create predictive models, it is necessary to create three subsets of a data set for the purpose of training the model, testing the model and checking the validation of the model. These subsets are usually called train, test and validation. For this purpose, we can use different type of ... Read More

A histogram using weights represent the weighted distribution of the values. In R, we can use weighted.hist function of plotrix package to create this type of histogram and we just need the values and weights corresponding to each value. Since plotrix is not frequently used, we must make sure that ... Read More

To find the critical value for t test in R, we need to use qt function. This function requires level of significance and the sample size and returns the tabulated or critical value of t distribution. Below examples shows the calculation of critical value for different situations such as left-side ... Read More

Data analysis is a difficult task because it has so much variation in terms of the smaller objectives of a big project. One of the smallest tasks could be finding the minimum value in each row contained in a data frame. For this purpose, we cam use apply function and ... Read More

To perform the correlation test in R, we need to use cor.test function with two variables and it returns so many values such as test statistic value, degrees of freedom, the p-value, the confidence interval, and the correlation coefficient value. If we want to extract the correlation coefficient value from ... Read More

The binomial data has two parameters, the sample size and the number of successes. To find the 95% confidence interval we just need to use prop.test function in R but we need to make sure that we put correct argument to FALSE so that the confidence interval will be calculated ... Read More

When we have factor column that helps to differentiate between numerical column then we might want to find the maximum value for each of the factor levels. This will help us to compare the factor levels in terms of their maximum and if we want to do this by getting ... Read More

If we have a matrix that contains NA or Inf values and we want to take the subset of that matrix with finite values then only the rows that do not contain NA or Inf values will be the output. We can do this in R by using rowSums and ... Read More
