If we have a character column in the data frame that contains string as well as numeric values and the first digit of the numeric values has some meaning that can help in data analysis then we can extract those first digits. For this purpose, we can use stri_extract_first function from stringi package.Example1Consider the below data frame −> x1 y1 df1 df1Output x1 y1 1 1 HT14L 2 2 HT14L 3 3 HT23L 4 4 HT14L 5 5 HT32L 6 6 HT32L 7 7 ...

Most of the times we need to deal with missing values in data science projects and these missing values can be occurred at any position. We might want to change the position of these missing values and send them to the end of the columns in the data frame. This can be done with the help of lapply function as shown in the below examples.Example1Consider the below data frame −> x1 x2 x3 df1 df1Output   x1 x2 x3 1  0  0  2 2  1  1  NA 3  1  NA 0 4  0  NA 2 5  1  NA 2 6  NA ...

To find the mean squared error for linear model, we can use predicted values of the model and find the error from dependent variable then take its square and the mean of the whole output. For example, if we have a linear model called M for a data frame df then we can find the mean squared error using the command mean((df$y-predict(M))^2).Example1Consider the below data frame −x1

To remove rows from the data frame that duplicate values greater than a certain number of times, we can create a subset for rows having duplicate values less than the certain number of times. For this purpose, we first need to extract the rows and then subset the data frame with the particular column as shown in the below examples.Example1Consider the below data frame −> x1 x2 df1 df1Output   x1 x2 1  0  0 2  0  0 3  1  0 4  0  1 5  0  0 6  1  1 7  0  1 8  1  1 9  1  2 10 0 ...

To find the count of a particular character in a string vector we can use nchar function along with gsub. For example, if we have a vector called x that contains string such India, Russia, Indonesia then we can find the number of times character i occurred then we can use the command nchar(gsub("[^i]","",x)) and the output will be 1 1 1 because first I’s in India and Indonesia will not be considered as they are in uppercase.Example1x1

To change the code “Yes” to 1, we can use ifelse function and set the Yes to 1 and others to 0. For example, if we have a data frame called df that contains a character column x which has Yes and No values then we can convert those values to 1 and 0 using the command ifelse(df$x=="Yes",1,0).Example1Consider the below data frame −Agree
