You need to install a package and then load it to be able to use it.

The functions we've been using, like str(), come built into R packages give you access to more functions. Packages in R are basically sets of additional functions that let you do more stuff in R. dplyr is a package for making data manipulation easier. Which countries in the data have life expectancies greater than 80? Data manipulation using dplyrīracket subsetting is handy, but it can be cumbersome and difficult to read, especially for complicated operations. For example: # Countries and years when populations were less than or equal to 100000 This is equivalent to doing gapminder or gapminder.įinally, you can set conditions for which data to return. gapminder$pop will give you a vector of all values in the pop column. To pull out single columns you can also use the $ sign. Gapminder # 500th row, 5th and 6th columns pop gdpPercap Afghanistanġ42 Levels: Afghanistan Albania Algeria Angola Argentina. (The '142 Levels' that appear mean this is a categorical variable and those are the categories.) gapminder # First row, first column. Data frames have two dimensions (rows and columns), so the subsetting follows a slightly different pattern: dataframe. The same approach can be applied to data frames. You can also specify a range of values, such as weights. Indexing begins at 1 in R, so weights will give you the first element of weights. For subsetting a vector, you place the brackets right next to the name of the object, and inside the brackets type the indices you want to extract. To pull out one or multiple values from an object, we'll often use square brackets.
