    Lecture 1: Basic Skill in R


    R-programming
    R programming is a programming language and software environment
    used for statistical computing and graphics. It provides a wide variety of
    statistical and graphical techniques, including linear and nonlinear
    modeling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, clustering, and
    more. R is widely used by statisticians, data scientists, and researchers
    for data analysis and visualization. It is an open-source language, which
    means it is freely available and can be extended by users through
    packages and libraries. R has a large and active community that
    contributes to its development and provides support through forums and
    online resources.
    Open R-Studio
    When You open Rstudio, you should see four
    Rstudio windows:

    1. Source window: Holds a collection of your


    code or “R script”.
    2. Console Window: This is the area that allow
    to instruct R what to do by executing
    commands. (However, after you close the
    session, command will be lost)
    3. Environment and history window: You can
    see objects in your working space and view
    your command history.
    4. Files, plots, packages, help window: You can
    view file directories, view plots and packages,
    and also access R help.
    Comments
    Recall when we used to
    add headings to our
    assignment in secondary
    school in order to
    remember?, Well, it is
    good practice to add
    comments to your R
    scripts as well
    Basic Numerical Operations in R
    ADDITION

    SUBTRACTION

    MULTIPLICATION

    DIVISION

    Addition:

    Let Simply add 1+2 in the Rscript.


    Type in the following code, highlight
    the code and and select ‘Run’

    Output

    R script Result Shown here
    Saving A Rscript
    Please Sva your Rscript!

    It is a good practice to save your R


    script so that you can continue where
    you left off just in case you need need to
    leave the session or if you want to come
    back to the code at a later time.

    Click ‘file’ save as’


    Saving A Rscript Con’t
    After clicking ‘file’ and ‘save’

    You will be taken to a window


    that will allow you select where
    to save the R-script and also how
    to name the Rscript

    We will call this Rscript


    STA1231

    Then, select ‘save’
