How to create a subset of rows or columns of a matrix in R?
A matrix can have multiple rows and columns like a data frame. As in data frames, we sometimes require to take subsets, the same might be required with matrices. But subsetting matrices data is quite simple as compared to subsetting a data frame.ExampleConsider the below matrix −> M M [, 1] [, 2] [, 3] [, 4] [, 5] [1, ] 1 6 11 16 21 [2, ] 2 7 12 17 22 [3, ] 3 8 13 18 23 [4, ] 4 9 14 19 24 [5, ] 5 10 15 20 25Subsetting columns of matrix M −> M[, ...
Read MoreHow to join two data frames based one factor column with different levels and the name of the columns in R using dplyr?
When there is a common factor with different levels, the joining of data frames is possible but the result will present all the levels with dplyr. We can make use of left_join function to join the two data frames but the size of the first data frame must be greater than the second data frame if they are not same.ExampleConsider the below data frames −> Class df1 df1 Class 1 Statistics 2 Maths 3 Chemistry 4 Physics 5 Economics 6 Political Science 7 Geography > Subject Age df2 df2 Subject Age 1 Maths 18 2 Chemistry 21 3 Physics 22 ...
Read MoreHow to select top or bottom n elements of a vector in R?
Selection of top or bottom elements can be done with the help of head and tail function in R. It is required when we want to understand the data in a vector or perform some calculation for partial data.ExampleConsider the below vectors, we will use head and tail to select top and bottom elements in these vectors by using positive and negative signs. These will have a different way to select the elements.> x x [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" [20] "t" "u" "v" "w" ...
Read MoreHow to access elements of nested lists in R?
Sometimes the lists are contained in another list but we want to access the nested list’s elements. Since these elements are part of a list then cannot be directly accessed, first we need to access the broader list and then the list that contains the element to reach the actual element.ExampleConsider the lists x1, x2, x3, x4, and x4 and the Total_List that contains these lists −> x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 Total_Lists Total_Lists [[1]] [[1]][[1]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 [[1]][[2]] [1] 6 7 8 9 10 [[1]][[3]] [1] 11 12 13 14 15 [[2]] [[2]][[1]] [1] "a" ...
Read MoreHow to increase the printing limit in R?
When we deal with large data then the problem of printing the data or output of the analysis arises. Due to this problem, it becomes difficult to have a look at our complete but it can be avoided. Before importing any large data or performing any calculation that may result in big output, we can change the limit of the printing by using max.print option.Example> set.seed(1) > sample(1:1000, 555555, replace=TRUE)Output[99681] 223 62 961 304 5 262 519 357 415 167 855 523 268 486 [99695] 370 916 703 179 813 833 177 154 72 789 924 918 486 647 [99709] ...
Read MoreHow to change the aspect ratio of a plot in ggplot2 in R?
The aspect ratio of a chart can be changed in ggplot2 and this will be useful if we want a smaller image of the chart. Sometimes, we don’t have large space where the chart will be pasted therefore this functionality becomes useful. Mostly, in research reports we see charts that are of small size, hence R becomes helpful to create charts that can be pasted in the desired space. This can be done with the help of theme function.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> set.seed(100) > x df library(ggplot2)Creating the plot with aspect ratio 4/3 −> ggplot(df, aes(x))+ + geom_bar()+ ...
Read MoreHow to deal with warning "removed n rows containing missing values" while using ggplot2 in R?
The warning “removed n rows containing missing values” occurs when we incorrectly specify the range of the values for X-axis or Y-axis. We can this range in ggplot function using scale_x_continuous(limits=c(?, ?)) for x axis and scale_y_continuous(limits=c(?, ?)) for y axis. If the range will be larger than the actual data range then there will be no warning otherwise, we will get the warning for the number of missing values.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> set.seed(2) > x y df library(ggplot2)Creating the plot with Y-axis limits from 0 to 5−> ggplot(df, aes(x, y))+ + geom_point()+ + scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0, 5)) Warning message: ...
Read MoreHow to create a bar chart using ggplot2 with facets that are in the order of the data in R?
Since visualization is an essential part of data analysis, we should make sure that the plots are created in a form that is easily readable for users. For this purpose, the facets in a bar chart helps us to understand the factor variable levels for another factor. To create such type of bar chart, we can use facet_grid function of ggplot2 package.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> set.seed(99) > y class quantity df library(ggplot2)Creating the plot with class on X-axis and y on Y-axis without any facet −> ggplot(df, aes(class, y))+ + geom_bar(stat="identity")OutputCreating the plot with class on X-axis, y ...
Read MoreHow to stop printing messages while loading a package in R?
There are some annoying messages we get while loading a package in R and they are not useful until and unless we are not loading a new package. Since these messages looks like outputs they might be confusing especially when we are analysing string data. Therefore, we must get rid of them.An example of message while loading BSDA package:>> library(BSDA)Loading required package − latticAttaching package − ‘BSDA’The following object is masked from ‘package:datasets’ −OrangeHere we have some messages while loading the package BSDA but we might not be interested in those messages if we are sure that package is installed ...
Read MorePython - Write multiple files data to master file
File handling is an important part of any web application.Python has several functions for creating, reading, updating, and deleting files.To write to an existing file, you must add a parameter to the open()function −"a" − Append − will append to the end of the file"w" − Write − will overwrite any existing contentExampleimport os # list the files in directory lis = os.listdir('D:\python' '\data_files\data_files') print(lis) tgt = os.listdir('D:\python' '\data_files\target_file') file_dir ='D:\python\data_files\data_files' out_file = r'D:\python\data_files\target_file\master.txt' ct = 0 print('target file :', tgt) try: # check for if file exists # if yes delete the file # otherwise ...
