To find the number of characters in character vector elements or the elements in a character column of an R data frame, we can use nchar function. Therefore, if we want to remove rows that has elements of size less than 3 we would need to use the same function ... Read More

The mutate function of dplyr package in R can help us to add a new column to a data frame and the benefit of using mutate is that we can decide the position of the new column during the addition. For example, if we have a data frame called df ... Read More

When we apply a function using apply family, by default the output is not in the form of a data frame. If we want to preserve the original data frame structure then we need to set the application of the apply family by setting it to the original data frame ... Read More

By combining rows means that we want to concatenate rows of matrices but create separate columns as in the original matrices. For example, if we have two matrices say M1 and M2 as shown below −M1 1 2 3 3 2 1 M2 2 3 5 1 2 3Then ... Read More
