Introduction
R is case-sensitive (A and a)
 Each command on a new line
 Comment:
#R is a very cool language!

Initialize/set the variable
Use-> or <a<-3
3->b
Introduction to academic
studies
Vectors

Create a vector
x<-c(1,3)

See the result
x
print(x)
Introduction to academic studies
Sequence

Either‘: ‘ or seq()
Introduction to academic studies
Matrices
Use matrix()
a<-matrix(values,nrow=m,ncol=n)
Values should be listed columnvise
nrow= and ncol= can be skipped
Introduction to academic studies
Index
Positive index
x[1,6]
x[2:10]

Negative index
x[-(1:5)]
all except 1:5

Entire column or row
x[2,] entire column 2


Data frame
Vectors and matrices of the row length can be collected into
a data frame
•
Used to store the data of different types into a single
table
Use data.frame(object 1, object 2, … , object k)
Introduction to academic
studies
Data frame
Any object in the data frame can be retrieved by
dataframe$object

Writing your own functions


Function writing
must always end
with writing the
value which
should be
returned!
You may also
use
”return(value)” to
show what value
the function
should return
