Systems requirements |
This tutorial is recorded on
Install R version 3.2.0 or higher. |
| [RStudio]
RStudio window |
Let us switch to RStudio. |
| Highlight the Source window | The window in the top left corner is the Source window.
It is used to edit a script and run it. |
| Highlight the Console window | The window in the bottom left corner is the Console window.
It is used to install packages or to run a particular command. |
| Highlight the Workspace window
Highlight Environment tab |
The upper right window is the Workspace window.
It stores all the variables used during execution of commands under the Environment tab. |
| Place cursor on the inside edges of all the windows.
Point to the four-headed arrow. |
Place your cursor on the inside edges of all the windows.
A four-headed arrow symbol appears. |
| Drag this to resize windows for better visibility. | You can drag this to resize your windows for better visibility. |
| Let us declare some variables. | |
| Type testSample <- c(1,2,3,4) in Console | In the Console, type testSample (capital S) space less than symbol followed by hyphen space c.
Now, in parentheses, type 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma 4. Press Enter to execute this line. |
| Highlight the testSample in Environment tab | You can see the variable testSample in the Environment window. |
| Highlight the Plots and Files window | The lower right window is the Plots and Files window. |
| Highlight the Files tab | The Files tab is used to keep track of Working Directories.
We will learn more about Working Directory later in this series. |
| Highlight the Plots tab | The Plots tab shows all the graphical output. |
| Let us plot the variable testSample. | |
| Type plot(testSample) in the Console window
Highlight the output plot |
In the Console, type plot testSample capital S in parentheses. Press Enter.
You can now see the plot in the Plots window. |
| Highlight the Environment tab | Let us look at the Environment window in the upper right corner. |
| Highlight testSample
Highlight broom-shaped icon in Environment |
We will clear this variable in this window.
At the top of the Environment window, click on the broom icon. |
| In Confirm Remove Objects window >> check Include hidden objects >> click on Yes | A Confirm Remove Objects window appears.
Ensure that the box Include hidden objects is checked and click on Yes. |
| Highlight Environment tab | Now, there is no variable in the Environment. |
| Click in the Plots window and click on the broom icon. | Click in the Plots window and click on the broom icon. |
| Point to Clear Plots text box. | A Clear Plots text box appears. |
| Point to Clear Plots text box. | The text reads, “Are you sure you want to clear all of the plots in the history?” |
| Click Yes. | Click Yes. |
| Type plot(testSample) in the Console window | Now, let us try plotting this variable again.
In the Console, again type plot testSample in parentheses as before. Press Enter. |
| Highlight the error in the Console window
Highlight broom-shaped icon in Environment |
No plot is generated.
Instead, we see: Error in plot(testSample) : object 'testSample' not found It means that the variable testSample has been removed from our Workspace. So, you should be careful with this broom icon in the Environment window. |
|
History tab Highlight the commands |
Next to Environment, the History tab stores all our actions.
Here, we can see the lines that have been executed so far. |
| Let us declare two variables, firstVar and secondVar, which will be used later. | |
| [Console]
Type firstVar <- 6 |
In the Console, type first capital V a r space less than symbol followed by hyphen space 6.
Press Enter. |
| [Console]
Type secondVar <- 8 |
Next, type second capital V a r space less than symbol followed by hyphen space 8.
Press Enter. |
| [RStudio]
Press Ctrl+L |
Our Console window is filled with the previous commands.
We need to clean the Console before moving on. Click in the Console window and press Ctrl+L together. |
| Highlight the broom-shaped icon at the right corner of the Console window | Clicking on the broom icon in the upper right corner of the Console will also clear it.
To see this icon, place the cursor under the maximizer button of the Console window. You will see a hand symbol and the text, Clear Console Ctrl+L. |

Packages in R |
R packages are
By default, R installs a set of packages |
| Let us switch back to RStudio. | |
| Click on the Environment tab again. | Now click on the Environment tab again. |
| [RStudio]
Type library() |
To see the list of R packages installed in your system, in the Console, type library parentheses.
Press Enter. |
| Tab R packages available opens in Source window | A tab named R packages available opens up in Source window. |
| Let us install a new package named MASS.
Please make sure that you are connected to the Internet. | |
| [Console]
Type install.packages("MASS") Highlight the red dot at the right corner of Console |
In the Console window, type install dot packages.
Now, MASS inside double quotes in parentheses. Press Enter. We will need to wait until R installs the package. |
| There is another way to install a package. Let us install another package named ggplot2. | |
| Click on the Tools button >>
Select the Install Packages option |
In the top menu bar of RStudio, click on the Tools button.
From the drop-down menu, select the Install Packages option. |
| In Packages, type ggplot2 | In the Packages field, type the name of the package ggplot2 |
| Check the box Install dependencies >> click on the Install button | Ensure that Install dependencies box is checked and click on the Install button. |
| [RStudio]
Type library(MASS) in the Console window |
To load a package, we use library function and provide the package name as an argument.
We will load the MASS package now. In the Console window, type library MASS in parentheses and press Enter. |
| Now we will use fractions function available in the MASS package. | |
| [RStudio]
Type f r a c t i o. Point to the fractions option. Press Enter to select. |
In the Console window, type f r a c t. RStudio shows the fractions option. Press Enter to select it. You can use this feature while typing commands. Only remember that R is case-sensitive. |
| [RStudio]
Type fractions(firstVar/secondVar) Highlight ¾ in the Console |
After fractions, type, in parentheses, firstVar division slash secondVar.
Press Enter. You can see the reduced fraction ¾ in the Console. |
| Type firstVar/secondVar in the Console
|
In the Console, we can also type firstVar division slash secondVar.
It gives the result in decimal form. |
| This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize. | |
