LIS 4370 R Programming: Building my Own R Package

Recently I have started building my own R Package as a part of a project with my professor, Dr. Friedman. The project involves visual analytics of proteins and requires we build our own R package. The project is still in the very early stages, so the package is also still…

LIS 4370 R Programming: Visualization in R

One of the best parts of R is the ease at which visualizations of data can be created. Beyond the base library there are many packages that make visualization a powerful tool, such as lattice and ggplot2. For a while now I have been learning ggplot2 and I have become…

LIS 4370 R Programming: Input and Output

One of the most important aspects to any program is the ability to take in data, and after doing its process, saving the data. This is generally done through the input and output libraries of a programming language. In JAVA, it is done with the java.io library. In the R…

LIS 4370 R Programming: More Matrices!

Matrices and working with matrices can be fun. While a lot of data science could be done without doing crazy math with matrices, there is a lot of complex and interesting analysis that is difficult without the use of them. Thus it is good to get plenty of practice using…

LIS 4370 R Programming: Matrices

This week we reviewed matrices. To be honest, when I first started learning R, I thought that this data structure was not very useful, the data frame can be used for a lot more data. However recently in LIS 4761 Intro to Data and Text Mining, I have been learning…

LIS 4370 R Programming: Data Frames in R

This week I learned more about data frames in R. For this post I was given hypothetical sample election polling data. The data was originally in vectors, so I have kept it in that way. For this assignment I created an R Script which you can find on my GitHub…
