Preface

My aim in writing this short book is to enable an average student like me to graph and chart the data in an understandable and analytically correct manner using R. I have a wild dream, that high school students to Post-Doctoral researchers of all fields will use R and that this book will help them learn the first steps, so I decided not to write extra and not to repeat what was already available on the internet/print. You may feel that the book is fast paced, Yes it is, it is meant to be read sitting before a PC and to enter the commands. Practice makes perfect and the best way to learn R is to work with it and ask questions when you don’t get the results. Very special thanks to the staff of NIPA for agreeing to publish this book in color. Hope this book on R will help you to start on a journey of discovery with R. Good Luck and God Bless, I hope that soon I will be able to see charts based on this book get published in research journals. One request please work on the code and try till you succeed. Don’t give up easily. For comments/suggestions/criticisms, please contact on email: [email protected]. Author

R Statistics 1

R is a software package / language / environment for statistical analysis and graphics. It Reads Any Type of Data *.txt, .csv, .dat, etc.), You can also scrape (collect) data from websites and execute SQL queries It Supports Large Data Sets. Reproducibility. R allows you to add comments to your scripts to make it clear to you and others on what you’re doing as data and analysis are separated in R. As R is fully free you can use the latest version on any / as many computers so you and your student can work on the same version. You can use R on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Unix.

R has a command line interface and that is a huge hurdle for many users, but believe us you will find that using a command line is also easy. However we strongly recommend the R Studio text editor for working with R scripts (http://www.rstudio.com/ide/ download). Note: R and few packages, with R Studio is available in the supplied DVD R Charting in less than 1-minute Ok let us start. Type or even better cut and paste the following text lines in a R > prompt.

Please do not include the symbol of R prompt > so Type or cut and paste from x symbol when you type the code. Please type / cut and paste carefully

> x < - c ( 11 3 , 11 7 , 2 3 5 , 2 5 2 , 2 6 3 , 2 7 1 , 2 9 0 , 3 0 0 , 3 2 1 , 340,999) # Now press the , After you press the the R prompt > will reappear >plot(x,type=”l”,col=”blue”,lty=1,lwd=3, xlab=”Plant Samples”, ylab=”Height in Cm”, main=”My first R Plot”) # After the R prompt reappears then type / cut and paste the second line and press the again.

You can type / cut and paste both the lines together and press the once

! Don’t include this > symbol when you type the code. Please type / cut and paste carefully. Type like this > x plot(x, type=“l”,col=“blue”,lty=1,lwd=3, xlab=“Plant Samples”,ylab= “Height in Cm”, main=“My first R Plot”) press the again # you can also do like this > x mydata edit(my.data) Code Explained: This command will open up a spreadsheet with the csv file arranged in it; you can do rudimentary editing in it DATA REQUIRED Second R Chart in less than 1-minute Cut and paste the following 3 lines at the R prompt > >my.dat=read.csv(file.choose()) press key now navigate using windows explorer to select the file 6_col_data.csv and select it now type my.dat at the command prompt and press key and R will respond by displaying the 6_col_data.csv with its proper headings. > my.dat Mysore

R Statistics 9

Now type the command > boxplot(my.dat,col=rainbow(6)) You will get the graph in the graphic window

Save the graph / copy, it as earlier discussed

R Statistics

To see the data structure visually type the command, as you have already read the 6_col_data.csv file you need not read it again, R will keep in memory the data file and the variable my.dat and you can recycle it. However they are given so that you can randomly create any graph at any time. my.data
