How to save a plot as SVG created with ggplot2 in R?
There are multiple ways to save a plot created in R. Base R provides, metafile, bitmap, and postscript options to copy and save the plots created in R but we can also save the plots created with ggplot2 as an SVG file with the help of svglite package. The ggsave function of svglite package does this job easily and we can also define the height and width of the plot inside this function.Examplehead(ToothGrowth) len supp dose 1 4.2 VC 0.5 2 11.5 VC 0.5 3 7.3 VC 0.5 4 5.8 VC 0.5 5 6.4 VC 0.5 6 10.0 VC 0.5 library(ggplot2) library(svglite) ScatterPlotImage

Subsetting is not a difficult thing in R but if we make our code short then it is a little tedious task because we will have to introduce code between codes and that creates confusion. Therefore, we must be very careful while writing a code inside another code. To create a line with subsetting the data frame using ggplot function of ggplot2 can be done by using subset function.Exampleggplot(subset(df,x1 %in% c("Sample1","Sample2","Sample3")))+ + geom_line(aes(x2,x3,group=x1,colour=x1))Output
Read MoreHow to add or multiply each element of a matrix to the corresponding element of another matrix in R, if these matrices are stored as a list?
Basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are common for matrices and we often do that but if the matrices are stored as a list in R then these basic calculations are done differently as they are not direct objects. To add or multiply the matrices in a list, we can use Reduce function with the plus (+) or multiply (*) sign and the list name.ExampleMatrices_List

Finding row means help us to identity the average performance of a case if all the variables are of same nature and it is also an easy job. But if some of the columns have different type of data then we have to extract columns for which we want to find the row means. Therefore, we can create a new data frame with row means of the required columns using rowMeans function.Examplerow_means_3.4_cols_df
Read MoreHow to a split a continuous variable into multiple groups in R?
Splitting a continuous variable is required when we want to compare different levels of a categorical variable based on some characteristics of the continuous variable. For example, creating the salary groups from salary and then comparing those groups using analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis test. To split a continuous variable into multiple groups we can use cut2 function of Hmisc package −Exampledf$Salary_Group
Read MoreHow to find the mean of columns of an R data frame or a matrix?
If all the columns in an R data frame are numeric then it makes sense to find the mean for each of the columns. This calculation will help us to view how different the values of means are for each of the columns but to make sure that they are significantly different, we will need to run a hypothesis test. To find the column means of a data frame or a matrix we can use colMeans function.ExampleConsider the below data frame −set.seed(9) x1
Read MoreHow to find the total of frequency based on the values of a factor column in R?
Often, we have duplicate values in a factor column that means a factor column has many levels and each of these levels occur many times. In this situation, if we have a frequency column then we want to find the total of that frequency based on the values of a factor column and this can be done by using aggregate function.Example> Metal Quantity df2 head(df2, 10) Metal Quantity 1 Iron 43 2 Nickel 33 3 Lead 25 4 Zinc 24 5 Tin 27 6 Sodium 34 7 Silver ...
Read MoreHow to italicize boxplot label in R using ggplot2?
Like every other tool for statistical analysis R does not display the labels of a boxplot in italics, thus if we want to do this, we need to do it manually. In ggplot2, we have a function scale_x_discrete that can be used to change the default font to italic using expression function.Exampleggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_boxplot()+scale_x_discrete(labels=expression(italic(Female),italic(Male)))Output
Read MoreHow to replace missing values with median in an R data frame column?
To replace missing values with median, we can use the same trick that is used to replace missing values with mean. For example, if we have a data frame df that contain columns x and y where both of the columns contains some missing values then the missing values can be replaced with median as df$x[is.na(df$x)]
Read MoreHow to change the Y axis limit for boxplot created by using ggplot2 in R?
One of the most important aspects of a boxplot is Y-axis labels because these labels help us to understand the limit of the variable. Since R generate these labels automatically in a good way, we stick with that but we can change that using coord_cartesian function with ylim as shown in the below example.Exampleggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_boxplot()+coord_cartesian(ylim=c(290,400))Output
