Introduction to R
A. Di Bucchianico
Types of statistical software
• command-line software
– requires knowledge of syntax of commands
– reproducible results through scripts
– detailed analyses possible
• GUI-based software
– does not require knowledge of commands
– not reproducible actions
• hybrid types (both command-line and GUI)

Basic operations
• assignment operation: a <- 2+sqrt(5)
• help function:
– help(pnorm)
– help.search(“normal distribution”)
• probability functions:
– d (density): dgamma(x,n,)
– p (probability=cdf): pweibull(x,3,2)
– q (quantile): qnorm(0.95)
– r (random numbers): rexp(10,)

Data creation + I/O
• create
– vectors: c(1,2,3)
– matrices: matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6),2,3,byrow=T) (2=#rows)
– list
• patterns:
– “:” (1,2,3) = 1:3
– seq (1,2,3) = seq(1,3,by=1)
• working directories and files:
– setwd
– getwd
– attach
• read data
– from file: read.table(“file.txt”,header=TRUE)
– from web: read.data.url

Component extraction
•
•
•
•
•
d[r,]: rth row of object d
d[,c]: cth column of object d
d[r,c]: entry in row r and column c of object d
length(d): length of d
d[d<20]: extract all elements of d that are
smaller than 20
• d[“age”]: extract column “age” from object d

Plots
• plot: both 1D and 2D plots
• hist: histogram
• qqnorm: normal probability plot (“quantilequantile” plot)

Packages
• specialized functions available through
packages and libraries
• in Windows interface choose Packages ->
Load Packages
• examples of packages:
– qcc (quality control)
– survival

Functions
Analyses that have to be performed often
can be put in the form of functions
Example: simple <function(data,mean=0,alpha=0.05)
{hist(data),t.test(data,conf.level=alpha,mu=
mean,alternative=“two-sided”)}
simple(data,4) uses the default value 0.05
and test the null hypothesis mu=4.

Regression analysis
• general command: lm (linear model)
• requires data to be available in the form of
a data frame
– more general than matrix because columns need not
have same length)
– use command data.frame for conversion
• other types of regression also possible
(see also dedicated packages)
Introduction to R

Survival analysis
• through library Surv of survival
• Cox proportional hazards: coxph
