How to collapse factor levels in an R data frame?
Sometimes the levels of a factor are not correctly recorded, for example, recording male with M in some places and with Mal in some places hence there are two levels for level male. Therefore, the number of levels increases if the factor levels are incorrectly recorded and we need to fix this issue because the analysis using these factor levels will be wrong. To convert the incorrect factor levels into the appropriate ones, we can use list function to define those levels.Example 1 Live DemoF
Read MoreHow to convert two columns of an R data frame to a named vector?
If two columns are of a form such that one column contains the name of the vector values and another column having the values of a vector then we might want to convert them into a vector. To do this, we can simply read the vectors with their data type and structure them with structure function.Example 1 Live Demox1
Read MoreHow to find the maximum using aggregate and get the output with all the columns in R?
When we use aggregate function to find maximum or any other value, the output of the aggregation does not provide all the columns that corresponds to the maximum value. Therefore, we need to merge the data frame obtained by using aggregate with the original data frame. In this way, we will get only those rows that are common between the new data frame and the original one.ExampleConsider the below data frame − Live Demoset.seed(99) x1

The value NULL is used to represent an object especially a list of length zero. If a list contains NULL then we might want to replace it with another value or remove it from the list if we do not have any replacement for it. To remove the NULL value from a list, we can use the negation of sapply with is.NULL.Examples Live Demox
Read MoreHow to subtract number of days from a date to get the previous date in R?
In our daily life, we might want to know what was the date before some number of days. This is also required in professional life, especially in those professions where we work on projects and have tight deadlines. To find the date before a certain number of days we can just use subtraction sign after reading the date with as.Date.Examplesas.Date("2001-01-01")-30 [1] "2000-12-02" as.Date("2020-06-30")-30 [1] "2020-05-31" as.Date("2020-06-30")-50 [1] "2020-05-11" as.Date("2020-06-30")-100 [1] "2020-03-22" as.Date("2020-06-30")-120 [1] "2020-03-02" as.Date("2020-06-30")-15 [1] "2020-06-15" as.Date("2020-06-30")-45 [1] "2020-05-16" as.Date("2020-06-30")-40 [1] "2020-05-21" as.Date("2020-12-25")-20 [1] "2020-12-05" as.Date("2020-12-25")-300 [1] "2020-02-29" as.Date("2020-12-25")-125 [1] "2020-08-22" as.Date("2020-12-25")-80 [1] "2020-10-06"We can also use / to ...
Read MoreHow to create permutations as a list in R?
The permutation is the combination with orders. For example, if we want to create a key for lock with a sequence of numbers then it must be order in some direction, otherwise, it will be difficult to remember and easy to unlock. We can find the permutation of some numbers or characters by using permn function of combinat package.Loading the combinat package −library(combinat)Examples that create list of permutations −permn(LETTERS[1:4]) [[1]] [1] "A" "B" "C" "D" [[2]] [1] "A" "B" "D" "C" [[3]] [1] "A" "D" "B" "C" [[4]] [1] "D" "A" "B" "C" [[5]] [1] "D" "A" "C" "B" [[6]] ...
Read MoreHow to write a long line for the X-label of a scatterplot in R using ggplot2?
When we create a plot in R, the variable names are automatically plotted as axes labels but sometimes we want to give a brief detail of the X-label or a Y-label. If that brief is not small so that the expression function can contain the length of the label then it becomes difficult but it can be done with the help of atop inside expression.ExampleConsider the below data frame − Live Demoset.seed(123) x
Read MoreHow to reverse a vector in R?
Sometimes the vector values are recorded in the reverse order in R, therefore, we need to again reverse those vectors to get the actual order we want. For example, a sequence of numbers might be recorded as 1 to 20 but we wanted it to be from 20 to 1. The reversing of order of the vector values can be easily done with the help of rev function.Examplesx1
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 −Example Live DemoConsider the below data frame −set.seed(2) ID
Read MoreHow to split a long string into a vector of substrings of equal sizes in R?
If a vector is recorded as a single string by mistake or the file that contains the data did not separated the string in an appropriate way then we might need to split in the correct form so that we can proceed with the further analysis. This might happen when the levels of a factor variable that have equal name length are not separated. In this case, we can split the string into a vector that contain substring of equal sizes by using substring function.ExamplesJust look at these examples to understand how substring function can help us to split the ...
