Data Analysis & Data Science With R

This document discusses topics related to basic data management in R, including adding and removing variables, recoding variables, renaming variables, changing the order of columns, subsetting data frames, sorting data, and identifying unique and duplicated values. It provides an overview of functions and techniques for performing these common data management tasks in R, such as using expressions to add new columns, removing columns directly or with functions, recoding variables with cut() and pretty(), renaming with names() and rename(), subsetting with square brackets and subset(), and sorting data. Web links to video tutorials on related topics like subsetting are also included.

Topics

Adding column/variables

New columns defined through expresssions

Function transform

Removing

variables (columns)

Directly, e.g. invoices_2 <- invoices_1[-10]

Directly, e.g. df$column.to.remove <- NULL

Indirecty (by copying a data frame and specifiyng the


variables NOT to be removed)

With function remove.vars from package gdata

With function VarDrop from package DataCombine

Topics (cont.)

Recoding variables (values)

Recode with filter (subsetting)

Divide continuous variable x into factor with n levels:

cut(x, n)

Divides a continuous variable x into n intervals by


selecting n+1 equally spaced rounded values (pretty
breakpoints): pretty(x, n)

Renaming

variables (columns)

With function names

With function rename from package reshape

With function rename.vars from package gdata

Topics (cont.)
Change

order of the columns

When copy a data frame

With function MoveFront from package DataCombine

Subsetting

data frames

Using square brackets [ ]

With function which

With function subset

Sorting

data

Unique

and duplicated values

Data

sampling
