Import R Data

Abhimanyu Singh — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 08:30:46 -0500

It is often necessary to import sample textbook data into R before you start working on your homework.

Excel File

Quite frequently, the sample data is in Excel format, and needs to be imported into R prior to use. For this, we can use the function read.xls from the gdata package. It reads from an Excel spreadsheet and returns a data frame. The following shows how to load an Excel spreadsheet named "mydata.xls". This method requires Perl runtime to be present in the system.

> library(gdata)                   # load gdata package
> help(read.xls)                   # documentation
> mydata = read.xls("mydata.xls")  # read from first sheet

Alternatively, we can use the function loadWorkbook from the XLConnect package to read the entire workbook, and then load the worksheets with readWorksheet. The XLConnect package requires Java to be pre-installed.

> library(XLConnect) # load XLConnect package
> wk = loadWorkbook("mydata.xls")
> df = readWorksheet(wk, sheet="Sheet1")

Minitab File

If the data file is in Minitab Portable Worksheet format, it can be opened with the function read.mtp from the foreign package. It returns a list of components in the Minitab worksheet.

> library(foreign)                 # load the foreign package
> help(read.mtp)                   # documentation
> mydata = read.mtp("mydata.mtp")  # read from .mtp file

SPSS File

For the data files in SPSS format, it can be opened with the function read.spss also from the foreign package. There is a "to.data.frame" option for choosing whether a data frame is to be returned. By default, it returns a list of components instead.

> library(foreign) # load the foreign package
> help(read.spss) # documentation
> mydata = read.spss("myfile", to.data.frame=TRUE)

Table File

A data table can resides in a text file. The cells inside the table are separated by blank characters. Here is an example of a table with 4 rows and 3 columns.

100   a1   b1
200   a2   b2
300   a3   b3
400   a4   b4

Now copy and paste the table above in a file named "mydata.txt" with a text editor. Then load the data into the workspace with the function read.table.

> mydata = read.table("mydata.txt")  # read text file
> mydata                             # print data frame
   V1 V2 V3
1 100 a1 b1
2 200 a2 b2
3 300 a3 b3
4 400 a4 b4

For further detail of the function read.table, please consult the R documentation.

> help(read.table)

CSV File

The sample data can also be in comma separated values (CSV) format. Each cell inside such data file is separated by a special character, which usually is a comma, although other characters can be used as well.

The first row of the data file should contain the column names instead of the actual data. Here is a sample of the expected format.

Col1,Col2,Col3
100,a1,b1
200,a2,b2
300,a3,b3

After we copy and paste the data above in a file named "mydata.csv" with a text editor, we can read the data with the function read.csv.

> mydata = read.csv("mydata.csv")  # read csv file
> mydata
  Col1 Col2 Col3
1  100   a1   b1
2  200   a2   b2
3  300   a3   b3

In various European locales, as the comma character serves as the decimal point, the function read.csv2 should be used instead. For further detail of the read.csv and read.csv2 functions, please consult the R documentation.

> help(read.csv)

Working Directory

Finally, the code samples above assume the data files are located in the R working directory, which can be found with the function getwd.

> getwd() # get current working directory

You can select a different working directory with the function setwd(), and thus avoid entering the full path of the data files.

> setwd("") # set working directory

Note that the forward slash should be used as the path separator even on Windows platform.

> setwd("C:/MyDoc")

R googleVis examples

Rahul Nayak — Sun, 10 Dec 2017 06:13:42 -0600

It may take a little while to load all charts. Please be patient. All charts require an Internet connection.

These examples are taken from the googleVis demo. You can execute the demo via

library(googleVis)
demo(googleVis)

For more details about the charts and further examples see the helpfiles of the individual googleVis function and review the Google Charts API documentation and Terms of Service.

radar charts with ggplot2

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 23:01:28 -0500

ggradar allows you to build radar charts with ggplot2. This package is based on Paul Williamson’s code, with new aesthetics and compatibility with ggplot2 2.0.

It was inspired by d3radaR, an htmlwidget built by timelyportfolio.

Trelliscope: flexibly visualize large, complex data in great detail from within the R statistical programming environment.

Jit — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 04:22:49 -0600

Trelliscope provides a way to flexibly visualize large, complex data in great detail from within the R statistical programming environment. Trelliscope is a component in the DeltaRho environment.

For those familiar with Trellis Display, faceting in ggplot, or the notion of small multiples, Trelliscope provides a scalable way to break a set of data into pieces, apply a plot method to each piece, and then arrange those plots in a grid and interactively sort, filter, and query panels of the display based on metrics of interest. With Trelliscope, we are able to create multipanel displays on data with a very large number of subsets and view them in an interactive and meaningful way.

RAINBOWR: Reliable Association INference By Optimizing Weights with R (R package for SNP-set GWAS and multi-kernel mixed model)

Surabhi Chaudhary — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 23:27:37 -0600

RAINBOWR(Reliable Association INference By Optimizing Weights with R) is a package to perform several types of GWAS as follows.

Single-SNP GWAS with RGWAS.normal function
SNP-set (or gene set) GWAS with RGWAS.multisnp function (which tests multiple SNPs at the same time)
Check epistatic (SNP-set x SNP-set interaction) effects with RGWAS.epistasis (very slow and less reliable)

Introduction to phylogenies in R

Abhi — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 02:27:21 -0500

R phylogenetics is built on the contributed packages for phylogenetics in R, and there are many such packages. Let's begin today by installing a few critical packages, such as ape, phangorn, phytools, and geiger. To get the most recent CRAN version of these packages, you will need to have R 3.3.x installed on your computer!

Modern Statistics with R

LEGE — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 04:44:06 -0500

This is the online version of the second edition of Modern Statistics with R. It is free to use, and always will be. Printed copies are available from CRC Press.

Live online courses on statistics with R based on this book, led by the author, are offered regularly; see this page for more information and dates.

The past decades have transformed the world of statistical data analysis, with new methods, new types of data, and new computational tools. The aim of Modern Statistics with R is to introduce you to key parts of the modern statistical toolkit. It teaches you:

Data wrangling - importing, formatting, reshaping, merging, and filtering data in R.
Exploratory data analysis - using visualisations and multivariate techniques to explore datasets.
Statistical inference - modern methods for testing hypotheses and computing confidence intervals.
Predictive modelling - regression models and machine learning methods for prediction, classification, and forecasting.
Simulation - using simulation techniques for sample size computations and evaluations of statistical methods.
Ethics in statistics - ethical issues and good statistical practice.
R programming - writing code that is fast, readable, and (hopefully!) free from bugs.

The book includes plenty of examples and more than 200 exercises with worked solutions. The datasets used for the examples and the exercises can be downloaded here.
