Module # 2 Introduction to basic R functions and Data Structures

 assignment2 <- c(16, 18, 14, 22, 27, 17, 19, 17, 17, 22, 20, 22)

myMean <- function(assignment2) { return(sum(assignment2)/length(assignment2)) }


result <- myMean(assignment2)

result

[1] 19.41667 


Explanation: 

The 'myMean' function takes a vector of numbers as input and calculates the mean by dividing the sum of the numbers by the length of the vector. 

The function works correctly because it follows the formula for calculating the mean, which is the sum of all values divided by the number of values.

  In this example, I've created two scatter plots, one for mpg vs. hp and another for mpg vs. wt, using mtcars and arranged them in a grid using the grid.arrange function.  My opinion on Few's recommendations.  Simplicity:   Few emphasize simplicity to avoid overwhelming the audience. The scatter plots are relatively simple, displaying two variables at a time (mpg vs. hp, mpg vs. wt). This simplicity aids in easy interpretation without unnecessary complexity. Clarity: Is a key principle in Few's recommendations. The use of grid arrangement helps in comparing the two scatter plots side by side, making it easier for viewers to identify patterns and differences between the variables. Accuracy: This is crucial, and Few often advocate for accurate representation of data. The scatter plots accurately represent the relationship between variables, allowing viewers to make informed observations about the distribution and correlation. Color Usage: Few often advise agai...

Module # 8 Input/Output, string manipulation and plyr package

 Exploring Gender Patterns and Academic Performance: The 'I' Factor Introduction: In a quest to uncover intriguing patterns within student demographics and academic achievements, we delved into a dataset revealing noteworthy insights. Specifically, our analysis focused on students whose names contain the letter 'i'. What emerged from this exploration was a fascinating correlation between the presence of the letter 'i' in a student's name, their gender, and academic performance. Gender Disparities: Our examination revealed a predominant association between the letter 'i' and female names. Of the students with 'i' in their name, a substantial majority were females.  Academic Excellence Among 'I'-Named Females: Diving deeper into the academic performance of students with 'i' in their names, a striking trend unfolded. Among these individuals, seven females secured the highest accolade – an 'A' grade. This impressive achiev...
