• Function(data, options)

Even quit is a function

• q()

So is help

help(read.table)

Provides the help page for the FUNCTION ‘read.table’

help.search(“t test”)

Searches for help pages that might relate to the phrase ‘t test’

NOTE: quotes are needed for search strings, they are not needed when referring to data objects or function names.

There is a short cut for help,

? shows the help page on a function name, same as help(function)

?read.table

?? searches for help pages on functions, same as help.search(‘phrase’)

??“t test”

Information is usually returned from a function, by default this is printed to screen

read.table(‘data.tsv’)

This can always be stored, we call what it is stored in an ‘object’

mydata

here mydata is an object of type dataframe

Reminder:

• Vector: a list of numbers, equivalent to a column in a table
• Data Frame = a collection of vectors. Equivalent to a table

Hint:

• Up/Down arrow keys can be use to cycle through previous commands

Circular plots are useful to represent complicated informations. They are used in 2 specific cases: when you have long axis and numerous categories, and when you want to show relationships between elements. The circos gallery displays several examples of circular plots, what gives a nice overview of the possibilities. Circos is the most famous

Since you can create Power BI custom visuals using R, that means you'll be able to design a custom R-based chart, and make it available to people using Excel — even if they don't know how to use R themselves. There also many pre-defined custom visuals available, including some familiar R charts like decision trees, calendar heatmaps, and hexbin scatterplots.

For more details on how you'll be able to use custom R visuals in Excel, check out the blog post linked below.
