Introduction to R Programming - Summary

1. Data Types / Objects in R

- Numeric: Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14)

- Integer: Whole numbers (e.g., 10L)

- Character: Text data (e.g., 'Hello')

- Logical: TRUE or FALSE

- Complex: Numbers with imaginary parts (e.g., 4 + 2i)

- Raw: Byte-level data

Use class(), typeof(), is.numeric() etc. to check types.

2. Creating and Manipulating Factors

- Factors represent categorical data.

- Created with factor(): factor(c('low', 'medium', 'high'))

- Can be ordered: factor(..., ordered=TRUE)

- Useful in statistical modeling and grouping.

3. Creating and Manipulating Vectors

- Vectors are 1D homogeneous data structures.

- Created with c(), seq(), rep().

- Access via [index], modify via assignment.

- Supports vectorized operations.

4. Creating and Manipulating Matrices

- Matrices are 2D homogeneous data structures.

- Created with matrix(), rbind(), cbind().

- Access via [row, column].

- Supports transpose, multiplication, row/column sums.

5. Creating and Manipulating Lists

- Lists hold heterogeneous elements.

- Created with list().

- Access using $, [[ ]], or [ ].

- Can be nested; useful for complex data.

6. Creating and Manipulating Data Frames

- Data frames are 2D tabular structures with columns as vectors.

- Columns can be different data types.


- Created with data.frame().

- Access with df[row, col], df$colname.

- Use read.csv(), write.csv() to import/export.

7. Subsetting Matrices and Data Frames

- Extract specific rows, columns, or elements.

- Use [row, col], negative indexing, logical indexing.

- For data frames, use df[df$Age > 20, ] or subset() function.
