Study Notes
Data Subsetting
data.frameobjects can be subsetted similarly to matrices- Subset rows by index: iris[c(1, 30, 50),]
- Subset columns by index: iris[, 1:3]
- Subset specific rows and columns: iris[c(1, 30, 50), 1:3]
- Use '-' to exclude specific elements: iris[-c(1, 30, 50),]
- Extract variables using '′followedbythevariablename:iris' followed by the variable name: iris′followedbythevariablename:irisSepal.Length
Subsetting by Conditions
- Create logical conditions using comparison operators:
==(equal to)!=(not equal to)>(greater than)<(less than)>=(greater than or equal to)<=(less than or equal to)
- Combine logical conditions using:
&(and)|(or)
- Subset rows based on logical conditions: iris[iris$Species == 'setosa',]
dplyr Package for Data Manipulation
select()function:- Select columns by their location: iris %>% select(1, 2, 5)
- Select columns by their name: iris %>% select(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Species)
- Exclude specific columns: iris %>% select(-1, -2, -5) or iris %>% select(-Sepal.Length, -Sepal.Width, -Species)
filter()function:- Subset rows based on conditions: iris %>% filter(Species == 'setosa')
- Combine multiple conditions: iris %>% filter((Species == 'setosa') & (Sepal.Length > 5))
%>%(pipe operator): Used to chain multiple dplyr operations
Exercise 2 Notes
- Create a subset of iris with the last two variables: iris %>% select(dim(iris)-1, dim(iris))
- Create a subset of iris with petal length greater than 6: iris %>% filter(Petal.Length > 6)
- Create a subset of iris with the two sepal variables and sepal width greater than 4: iris %>% select(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width) %>% filter(Sepal.Width > 4)
