A palindrome is a word or any value that is being read in the same way from right to left as in left to right. For example, 12321, 514212415, ABCDEDCBA, etc. To check palindrome in R, we can create a function using stri_reverse function of stringi package as shown in the below examples.Example1library(stringi) palindrome

The default direction of Y-axis title using ggplot2 in R is vertical and we can change to horizontal. For this purpose, we can use theme function of ggplot2 package. We would need to use the argument of theme function as axis.title.y=element_text(angle=0)) and this will write the Y-axis title to horizontal but the position will be changed to top.Example Live DemoConsider the below data frame −x

If we have a list that contains numeric elements and we want to check whether the elements are greater than a certain value then as.numeric function can be used. The output of the function will be in 0/1 format where 0 represents FALSE and 1 represents TRUE. For example, if we have a list called LIST then to check whether elements in LIST are greater than 2 can be done as as.numeric(LIST>2).Example1 Live DemoList15)Output[1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0Example2 Live DemoList22)Output[1] 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0

To create a bar chart based on two groups, we can use geom_bar function of ggplot2 package with position argument that defines the position of the groups. For example, if we have a data frame called df that contains two categorical variable x1 and x2 and the one response variable y then the bar chart can be created by using the below command −ggplot(df,aes(x1,y,fill=x2))+geom_bar(position=position_dodge(),stat="identity")Example Live DemoConsider the below data frame &minusGender

In general, most commonly used rounding is rounding to nearest 10 or nearest 100 but sometimes we actually want to remove the values after a value instead of rounding. For example, removing values after 2 decimal places, this is the type of situation where we need to round to next 10 instead of nearest 10. This can be done with the help of floor function as shown in the below examples.Example1 Live Demox1

To extract the factor levels from factor column, we can simply use levels function. For example, if we have a data frame called df that contains a factor column defined with x then the levels of factor levels in x can be extracted by using the command levels(df$x). This extraction is helpful if we have a large number of levels.Example1 Live DemoConsider the below data frame −x1

How to use column index instead of column name while using group_by of dplyr in R?

When we use group_by function of dplyr package, we need to pass the column name(s) that are categorical in nature. If we want to use the index of the same column(s) then group_by_at function needs to be used, where we can pass the column index as the argument.Example1 Live DemoConsider the below data frame −x1 1 A 2 2 B 6 3 C 5 4 D 7Example2 Live Demoy1

To find the sum of row, columns, and total in a matrix can be simply done by using the functions rowSums, colSums, and sum respectively. The row sums, column sums, and total are mostly used comparative analysis tools such as analysis of variance, chi−square testing etc.Example1 Live DemoM1

How to find the number of unique values in a vector by excluding missing values in R?

If there exist missing values in an R vector then it is counted as a unique value in the vector, therefore the extraction of unique values cannot be done directly. For this purpose, we need to use unique with na.omit function. For example. If we have a vector called x with missing values then the extraction of unique values can be done as length(unique(na.omit(x))).Example1 Live Demox1

How to multiply all values in a list by a number in R?

To multiply all values in a list by a number, we can use lapply function. Inside the lapply function we would need to supply multiplication sign that is * with the list name and the number by which we want to multiple all the list values. For example, if we have a list called LIST and we want to multiply each value in LIST by 2 then it can be done by using the command lapply(LIST,"*",2).Example1 Live DemoList1
