The number of words in a sentence could be used for text analysis, therefore, we are required to count them. This can be for a single sentence or for multiple sentences. We can find the number of words in a sentence or in multiple sentences using strsplit with sapply.ExampleConsider the ... Read More

While creating plots using ggplot2, the plot area is of square shape but we can change our plot area by setting plot.margin in theme function. This is helpful when we want to decrease the plot area and also when the data points are less.ExampleConsider the below data frame −> set.seed(1) ... Read More

Generally, a list in R contains a large number of elements and each element can be of different type which is a great thing about lists. Since we can store type of data as a list element therefore storage and selection to different type of data becomes easier. And we ... Read More

Dealing with big data frames is not an easy task therefore we might want to split that into some smaller data frames. These smaller data frames can be extracted from the big one based on some criteria such as for levels of a factor variable or with some other conditions. ... Read More

Most of the times the explanatory variables are not linearly related to the response variable and we need to find the best model for our data. In this type of situations, we move on to polynomial models to check whether they will be helpful in determining the accuracy of the ... Read More

Since no one is perfect, people might forget to add all columns that are necessary for the analysis but this problem can be solved. If a column is missing in our data frame and we came to know about it later then it can be added easily with the help ... Read More

While doing the analysis, we might come across with data that is not required and we want to delete it. This data can be a whole row or multiple rows. For example, if a row contains values greater than, less than or equal to a certain threshold then it might ... Read More

Sometimes when we read data in R, the missing values are recorded as blank spaces and it is difficult to replace them with any value. The reason behind this is we need to know how many spaces we have used in place of missing values. If we know that then ... Read More

Correlation matrix helps us to determine the direction and strength of linear relationship among multiple variables at a time. Therefore, it becomes easy to decide which variables should be used in the linear model and which ones could be dropped. We can find the correlation matrix by simply using cor ... Read More

Ordering columns might be required when we want to manipulate the data. Manipulation can have several reasons such as cross verification, visualisation, etc. We should also be careful when we change anything in the original data because that might affect our processing. To change the order of columns we can ... Read More
