Viewing and Summarizing Data
Exploring and understanding your data is a crucial first step before any analysis. In R, you can quickly gain insights by using simple functions to view the first or last few rows, check the overall size of your data frame, and generate summary statistics for each column. These tools help you verify that your data has been imported correctly and let you spot potential issues or patterns early on. Suppose you have a data frame called data_summary; you can use several R functions to examine it efficiently.
1234567891011121314151617181920# Create a sample data frame for demonstration # This data frame contains information about students and their scores data_summary <- data.frame( Name = c("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David", "Eva", "Frank", "Grace", "Hannah"), Age = c(23, 25, 22, 24, 23, 26, 22, 25), Score = c(88, 92, 85, 90, 87, 95, 82, 89), Passed = c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE) ) # View the first 6 rows of the data frame head(data_summary) # View the last 6 rows of the data frame tail(data_summary) # Check the number of rows and columns dim(data_summary) # Get summary statistics for each column summary(data_summary)
Each of these functions provides a different perspective on your data. The head(data_summary) function displays the first six rows, giving you a quick look at how your data starts. Use tail(data_summary) to see the last six rows, which is helpful for checking the data's end or confirming proper import of all records. To understand the overall structure, dim(data_summary) returns a vector with two numbers: the number of rows and columns in your data frame. This helps you confirm the expected dimensions. Finally, summary(data_summary) generates summary statistics for each column; for numeric columns, it shows measures such as minimum, maximum, mean, and quartiles, while for categorical columns, it provides counts for each category. Using these functions together allows you to confidently begin exploring and understanding your dataset.
