After we choose the correct server and computer system, After we choose the correct server and computer system, we will get something like below. we will get something like below.
What we want is here!

2. Get familiar with R (Sorry about using chinese version)
File; Edit; Others; Package; Help function
Basic introduction of R, such as Version…
Working place, where we write code, see the verbal or numerial r
esults
3. Input data and read data from file3. Input data and read data from file
Basic proc:Basic proc: x<x<-function() -function() x=data name; <- assignment; function()=the mx=data name; <- assignment; function()=the m
ethods for reading dataethods for reading data
Function():Function(): c() for example, x<-c(1,2,3,4,5) c() for example, x<-c(1,2,3,4,5) read.table() read.table() scan()scan() Read data using Rcmdr packageRead data using Rcmdr package
Examples: Read data with Rcmdr package
Load package from package
option
Rcmdr
Rcmdr windows (right windows below)
Rcmdr-Data-Inport data (Thanks god, Rcmdr is in English!)
File can be read by Rcmdr includes txt,spss,mintab,stata,excel….
For example: open the excel file contains the data, select the data you want to input and copy it by right click and copy or ctl+c.
Then switch back to Rcmdr windows and choose data i
nput from txt & clipboard
Data name
1.Variable name in first line or not
2. NA
How the data are separated(Tabs here for
excel)
All setting looks fine
now
Read the data
The R code for what we did
Output window? Do not show graphic
results
General information of
the data
An example show how t-test results displayed in output windows
T test R code
Results form the t-test
Lot’s functions
here, such as make graph, load statistics
package
R code for box plot
If we make graph (box plot for example)
Graph result shows in R graphics window (right windows)
View data and edit
your data
View data window shows the data
View data and edit data after data input
Edit data in the data edit windows
4. Commonly used R code4. Commonly used R code ls()ls() show all the available data (objects) show all the available data (objects) in the work space or memoryin the work space or memory rm()rm() delete data, remove objects delete data, remove objects ? ? get online help about *** get online help about *** lm()lm() fit a simple regression and look at it fit a simple regression and look at it resid()resid() residuals from one model residuals from one model fitted()fitted() fits from one model fits from one model plot()plot() scatter plot scatter plot
5. Something needs to be kept in mind
Capital letter matters: v≠V
Data (Objects) are vector or matrix
Some examples
VCL and vcl are different dat
a objects
Commends: don’t use capital letter at all is a good idea
Use ls() show the data in workspac
e
Use “?ls” to learn more about ls() fuct
ion
Online help(don’t need
internet connection
in fact)
Use ?lm learn more about lm()
There are lot’s components in lm()
Details about all those components
A simple example (without data input part)A simple example (without data input part)
Step 1:Read and built
a new data with name f
Use f to view the data f in workspace
Data from fertilization data of Liu (2006), and we know there should have a simple linear relationship between ln and density.
Density=log(sperm/egg density) ln=log(fertilized egg/unfertilized egg).
So the model will be ln=a+b*density+error
Use fm<-lm(ln~density,data=f) to build up the linear model
fm<-lm(ln~density,data=f)
Assign fm as the linear model
Model is basedon ln and density,
use ln as dependentand density as variable
There ln and density come from
Use fm to view fm
Shows what’s
fm
Use summary(fm) to see more details
Details of fm, including df, SE, t value and P
Use plot(fitted(fm),resid(fm),xlab="fitted",ylab="residual",main="residual vs fUse plot(fitted(fm),resid(fm),xlab="fitted",ylab="residual",main="residual vs fits") check residual vs fits. Graph shown on the right side windowits") check residual vs fits. Graph shown on the right side window
Here xlab(),ylab(),main() are R codes to give x,y and the whole graph labels.
