, 1. Off we go!
1.1. Credit and license
1.2. Goal and scope
1.3. Format
1.4. Caveats
Not important
2. Getting started with R
2.1. Typing commands
Typing a command: ctrl + enter OR command + enter R will execute
the command
[1] = answer on the first question
2.1.1. Be very careful to avoid typos
There is no autocorrect in R, so type exactly what you mean
2.1.2. R is (a bit) flexible with spacing
R ignores redundant spacing (exception: do not insert spaces in the middle
of a word)
2.2. Doing simple calculations
Addition is an operation and + is an (arithmetic) operator
5
, 2.2.1. Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing
Raising x to the nth power: the act on multiplying a number x by itself n
times
o x-squared: x ^ 2 OR x ** 2
o x-cubed: x ^ 3 OR x ** 3
2.2.3. Doing calculations in the right order
Order of operations: brackets – exponents – division & multiplication –
addition - subtraction
2.3. Storing a number as a variable
Variable: label for (a) certain piece(s) of information, for example: ‘sales’
Value, for example: ‘350’
Assignment operator, for example: ‘<-‘ (left form) OR ‘->’ (right form)
OR ‘=’ (left direction)
o Do not insert spaces in the middle of an operator
o R can overwrite new values for a variable
2.4. Doing calculations using variables
R can calculate with variables and overwrite variables:
6
, 2.5. Storing many numbers as a vector
Vector: variable that can store multiple values
2.5.1. Creating a vector
c( ): combine function with a comma-separated list
For example, sales.by.month is a vector of 12 elements
2.5.2. Getting information out of a vector
By using [ ] we get information out of a vector, for example:
sales.by.month [2] gives us information about February but the output is
[1] because that is the first thing we asked
We can use this to create new variables
2.5.3. Altering the elements of a vector
To change the elements of a vector you can assign the whole vector again
with the combine function OR
