Descrierea cursului

Intermediate R is the next stop on your journey in mastering the R programming language. In this R training, you will learn about conditional statements, loops, and functions to power your own R scripts. Next, make your R code more efficient and readable using the apply functions. Finally, the utilities chapter gets you up to speed with regular expressions in R, data structure manipulations, and times and dates. This course will allow you to take the next step in advancing your overall knowledge and capabilities while programming in R.The videos contain live transcripts you can reveal by clicking "Show transcript" at the bottom left of the videos. The course glossary can be found on the right in the resources section. To obtain CPE credits you need to complete the course and reach a score of 70% on the qualified assessment.

Introduction to R

1

Conditionals and Control Flow

In this chapter, you'll learn about relational operators for comparing R objects, and logical operators like "and" and "or" for combining TRUE and FALSE values. Then, you'll use this knowledge to build conditional statements.

Relational Operators

Greater and less than

Compare vectors

Compare matrices

Logical Operators

& and | (2)

Reverse the result: !

Blend it all together

Conditional Statements

The if statement

Add an else

Customize further: else if

Else if 2.0

Take control!

Loops

Loops can come in handy on numerous occasions. While loops are like repeated if statements, the for loop is designed to iterate over all elements in a sequence. Learn about them in this chapter.

Write a while loop

Throw in more conditionals

Stop the while loop: break

Build a while loop from scratch

Loop over a vector

Loop over a list

Loop over a matrix

Mix it up with control flow

Next, you break it

Build a for loop from scratch

The apply family

Whenever you're using a for loop, you may want to revise your code to see whether you can use the lapply function instead. Learn all about this intuitive way of applying a function over a list or a vector, and how to use its variants, sapply and vapply.

Use lapply with a built-in R function

Use lapply with your own function

lapply and anonymous functions

Use lapply with additional arguments

Apply functions that return NULL

How to use sapply

sapply with your own function

sapply with function returning vector

sapply can't simplify, now what?

sapply with functions that return NULL

Reverse engineering sapply

Use vapply (2)
