Vectors in R are supposed to be of homogeneous data type. You can use a list as the container if there are mixed data types, such as numbers and strings. The list and data frame are closely related in R. The data frame is probably more useful because it reflects how we usually collect statistics. […]

A Gentle Introduction to Vectors in R
R is a language for programming with data. Unlike many other languages, the primitive data types in R are not scalars but vectors. Therefore, understanding how to deal with vectors is crucial to programming or reading the R code. In this post, you will learn about various vector operations in R. Specifically, you will know: […]
An Introduction to R
R is a programming language of its kind. It is a language for statistics, and its ecosystem has a lot of libraries for all kinds of statistical tasks. It is a language targeted the statisticians rather than computer scientists. Hence you will see some unorthodox patterns in the language. In this post, you will learn […]
