Descriptive Analytics: Bivariate R Commands & Functions
Categorical Variable
Some main Functions
table() develops a table.
table(dataset$column) develops as frequency table for one variable.
table (dataset$column, dataset$column) develops cross-tabulation for two
variables.
prop.table(table) converts numbers inside a table to percentage (relative
frequency).
barplot() returns a bar plot.
Example:
Bar Chart:
t1 <- table(dataset$column, dataset$column)
t1
t2 <- prop.table(t1)
t2
barplot(t1,
xlab = "insert x axis name",
ylab = "insert y axis name",
legend = TRUE,
col = c("Gold", "Gold3", "Orange", "Orange3"),
beside = TRUE)
Quantitative Variables
Scatter Chart:
plot(dataset$column, dataset$column,
xlab = "insert x axis name", xlim=c(x1,x2),
ylab= "insert y axis name", ylim=c(x1,x2),
main = "insert main title",
col = "choose a color")

cov(dataset$column, dataset$column)
Correlation Coefficient
cor(dataset$column, dataset$column)
Returning Columns and Rows
head(dataset)
dataset[row,column] returns a single value.
dataset[row,] returns a row.
dataset[,column] returns a column.
dataset[c(rowx,rowy),] returns a more than one row.
dataset[,c(columnx,columny)] returns a more than one column.
dataset[c(rowx:rowy),] returns a range of rows.
dataset[,c(columnx:columny)] returns a range of columns.
dataset[dataset$column == “name of the item”] returns a specific value.
dataset[dataset$column >= “name of the item”] returns some specific
values.
