Module # 1: Assignment #1: Getting Started with R Programming Your first assignment

  • In your blog, write a 2–3 paragraph report describing:
    • Any issues you encountered during installation.
    • How you resolved them (if applicable).
    • Your system details (OS version, R version, RStudio version).

    I installed R and RStudio a little over a year ago without any issues, and I am currently using version 2024.12.0 Build 467. I have successfully used RStudio in multiple previous classes and have not experienced any problems while using the software.

    The PC I use for RStudio runs Windows 11 Home, version 24H2, and has a Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, a 4070ti Super GPU, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. These specs have allowed RStudio to run smoothly and reliably for my coursework.

    



  • On your blog, post one paragraph summarizing:
    • What an R vector is.
    • Why vectors are fundamental to data analysis in R.

    An R vector is the most basic data structure in R, representing an ordered collection of elements of the same data type, such as numeric, character, or logical values, that can be accessed and manipulated together. Vectors are fundamental to data analysis in R because nearly all data objects, including data frames, matrices, and lists, are built from vectors, and most R operations are vectorized, allowing calculations to be performed efficiently on entire datasets without explicit loops. This design makes data manipulation, statistical analysis, and visualization faster, clearer, and more expressive, which is why mastering vectors is essential for anyone working with data in R.

 The following data was collected by the local hospital. This data set contains 5 variables based on the observation of 10 patients. In addition to the measurements of the patients checking in to the hospital that night, this data provides the patients' histories regarding the frequency of their visits to the hospital in the last 12 months. This data displays the measurement of blood pressure, first assessment by a general doctor (bad=1, good =0) titled "first," the second assessment by an external doctor (called "second"), and the last row provides the head of the emergency unit's decision regarding immediate care for the patient based on the values 0 or 1 (low = 0, high =1). The names of your variables are as follows: "Freq","bloodp","first”, " second”, ”finaldecision” The rows  1.    "0.6","103","bad","low","low” 2.     "0.3","87","bad","low"...

Assignment #10: Building Your Own R Package

The Friedman package is designed to help users clean, analyze, and model airline delay data. It is intended for students and analysts working with transportation datasets who want a simple and reusable way to explore delay patterns and trends. The package will include key functions such as clean_delay_data() for preparing datasets, summarize_delays() for calculating summary statistics, plot_delay_trends() for visualizing delay patterns, and predict_delays() for building basic predictive models. These functions support a complete workflow from data preparation to analysis. The DESCRIPTION file was structured to clearly define the package and its dependencies. The version 0.0.0.9000 indicates the package is still in development. The Authors@R field identifies the creator, while Depends specifies the required R version. The Imports field includes packages like dplyr and rlang for data manipulation. The CC0 license was chosen to allow open academic use, and the URL and BugReports fields li...
