In today’s open lab, we didn’t cover a lot. We first looked at how to generate random samples with certain conditions. Then we did an easy example of linear regression in R. The purpose of this lab is to let attendants understand how randomness works in R and how to use linear regression model for […]

R Open Lab Fall 2018 – R Shiny
If you still haven’t got any idea of how amazing and powerful R can be, here is the time. In this open lab, I introduce my favourite part of R —- R shiny, which is a package to bulid interactive web app for data visualization, dashboard, map interaction and so on. I start from showing […]
R Open Lab Fall 2018 – Data manipulation
Today we covered the topic of data manipulation. We first reviewed the basic ways to subset data frames such as logical expression and subset function. Then, we looked at ways to combine, merge, and split data frames. Finally, we covered the usage of package plyr. Here is the link to our open lab’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/wbh0912/R-Open-Lab-Fall-2018 […]
R Open Lab Fall 2018 – Text data in R
R is also a powerful tool to deal with text data. This time we first clarified the concept between character and string by practicing some tricky examples and some basic ideas that we can play with our text data such as substring, combining and replacing. Then a txt file was introduced to let attendee play […]
R Open Lab Fall 2018 – More visualization
Today we will explore more about the advanced data visualization in R. First, we will review the basic graphical functions covered in the last open lab and learn how to use additional parameters to achieve different goals. Then, we will focus on the powerful package ggplot2. Here is the link to our open lab’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/wbh0912/R-Open-Lab-Fall-2018 If […]
R Open Lab Fall 2018 – Dataframe and basic visualization
This week we stepped into the most basic but important data structure called dataframe, several ways of constructing dataframes and importing dataframes are introduced. At the mean time, we reviewed the basic idea of extracting data by index/condition by giving some exercises to practice. Then, we focused on how to show the general picture of […]
R Open Lab Fall 2018 – Functions, environment, and apply
The topic of this week is functions, environment, and apply family in R. We first cover the method of defining your own function in R, then we bring in the concept of environment since they are relevant. At last, we go over the apply family. Recall that we learned loops as one of the basic […]
R Open Lab Fall 2018 – More Fundamentals
We reviewed a little bit about what is R and R Studio, how they work together and then continued the starter kit of R. First we talked about how to do calculation, commenting and assignment value to variables in R, then we also gave some tricky example to clarify those coding standards such as case […]
