Why is `1 == \"1\"` true? Why is `-1 < FALSE` true? Why is `\"one\" < 2` false?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nThese comparisons are carried out by operator-functions (==, <), which coerce their arguments to a common type. In the examples above, these types will be character, double and character: 1 will be coerced to \"1\", FALSE is represented as 0 and 2 turns into \"2\" (and numbers precede letters in lexicographic order (may depend on locale)).\n\n</details>\n\n## Exercises 4/5\n\n4. Why is the default missing value, NA, a logical vector? What’s special about logical vectors?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nThe presence of missing values shouldn’t affect the type of an object. Recall that there is a type-hierarchy for coercion from character → double → integer → logical. When combining `NA`s with other atomic types, the `NA`s will be coerced to integer (`NA_integer_`), double (`NA_real_`) or character (`NA_character_`) and not the other way round. If `NA` were a character and added to a set of other values all of these would be coerced to character as well.\n</details>\n\n## Exercises 5/5\n\n5. Precisely what do `is.atomic()`, `is.numeric()`, and `is.vector()` test for?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\n\n* `is.atomic()` tests if an object is an atomic vector or is `NULL` (!). Atomic vectors are objects of type logical, integer, double, complex, character or raw.\n* `is.numeric()` tests if an object has type integer or double and is not of class `factor`, `Date`, `POSIXt` or `difftime`.\n* `is.vector()` tests if an object is a vector or an expression and has no attributes, apart from names. Vectors are atomic vectors or lists.\n \n</details>\n\n\n## Attributes\n\nAttributes are name-value pairs that attach metadata to an object (vector).\n\n* **Name-value pairs**: attributes have a name and a value\n* **Metadata**: not data itself, but data about the data\n \n## Getting and Setting\n\nThree functions:\n\n1. retrieve and modify single attributes with `attr()`\n2. retrieve en masse with `attributes()`\n3. set en masse with `structure()`\n\n## Single attribute\n\nUse `attr()`\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# some object\na <- c(1, 2, 3)\n\n# set attribute\nattr(x = a, which = \"attribute_name\") <- \"some attribute\"\n\n# get attribute\nattr(a, \"attribute_name\")\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] \"some attribute\"\n```\n\n\n:::\n:::\n\n\n## Multiple attributes\n\n`structure()`: set multiple attributes, `attributes()`: get multiple attributes\n\n:::: columns\n::: column\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\na <- 1:3\nattr(a, \"x\") <- \"abcdef\"\nattr(a, \"x\")\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] \"abcdef\"\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nattr(a, \"y\") <- 4:6\nstr(attributes(a))\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> List of 2\n#> $ x: chr \"abcdef\"\n#> $ y: int [1:3] 4 5 6\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nb <- structure(\n 1:3, \n x = \"abcdef\",\n y = 4:6\n)\nidentical(a, b)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] TRUE\n```\n\n\n:::\n:::\n\n:::\n\n::: column\n \n:::\n::::\n\n\n## Why\n\nThree particularly important attributes: \n\n1. **names** - a character vector giving each element a name\n2. **dimension** - (or dim) turns vectors into matrices and arrays \n3. **class** - powers the S3 object system (we'll learn more about this in chapter 13)\n\nMost attributes are lost by most operations.

List all the ways that a list differs from an atomic vector.\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\n\n* Atomic vectors are always homogeneous (all elements must be of the same type). Lists may be heterogeneous (the elements can be of different types) as described in the introduction of the vectors chapter.\n* Atomic vectors point to one address in memory, while lists contain a separate reference for each element. (This was described in the list sections of the vectors and the names and values chapters.)\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nlobstr::ref(1:2)\n#> [1:0x7fcd936f6e80] <int>\nlobstr::ref(list(1:2, 2))\n#> █ [1:0x7fcd93d53048] <list> \n#> ├─[2:0x7fcd91377e40] <int> \n#> └─[3:0x7fcd93b41eb0] <dbl>\n```\n:::\n\n\n\n* Subsetting with out-of-bounds and NA values leads to different output.

Compare and contrast `c()` and `unlist()` when combining a date and date-time into a single vector.\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nDate and date-time objects are both built upon doubles. While dates store the number of days since the reference date 1970-01-01 (also known as “the Epoch”) in days, date-time-objects (POSIXct) store the time difference to this date in seconds.\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ndate <- as.Date(\"1970-01-02\")\ndttm_ct <- as.POSIXct(\"1970-01-01 01:00\", tz = \"UTC\")\n\n# Internal representations\nunclass(date)\n#> [1] 1\nunclass(dttm_ct)\n#> [1] 3600\n#> attr(,\"tzone\")\n#> [1] \"UTC\"\n```\n:::\n\n\nAs the c() generic only dispatches on its first argument, combining date and date-time objects via c() could lead to surprising results in older R versions (pre R 4.0.0):\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# Output in R version 3.6.2\nc(date, dttm_ct) # equal to c.Date(date, dttm_ct) \n#> [1] \"1970-01-02\" \"1979-11-10\"\nc(dttm_ct, date) # equal to c.POSIXct(date, dttm_ct)\n#> [1] \"1970-01-01 02:00:00 CET\" \"1970-01-01 01:00:01 CET\"\n```\n:::\n\n\nIn the first statement above c.Date() is executed, which incorrectly treats the underlying double of dttm_ct (3600) as days instead of seconds. Conversely, when c.POSIXct() is called on a date, one day is counted as one second only.\n\nWe can highlight these mechanics by the following code:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# Output in R version 3.6.2\nunclass(c(date, dttm_ct)) # internal representation\n#> [1] 1 3600\ndate + 3599\n#> \"1979-11-10\"\n```\n:::\n\n\nAs of R 4.0.0 these issues have been resolved and both methods now convert their input first into POSIXct and Date, respectively.\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nc(dttm_ct, date)\n#> [1] \"1970-01-01 01:00:00 UTC\" \"1970-01-02 00:00:00 UTC\"\nunclass(c(dttm_ct, date))\n#> [1] 3600 86400\n\nc(date, dttm_ct)\n#> [1] \"1970-01-02\" \"1970-01-01\"\nunclass(c(date, dttm_ct))\n#> [1] 1 0\n```\n:::\n\n\nHowever, as c() strips the time zone (and other attributes) of POSIXct objects, some caution is still recommended.\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n(dttm_ct <- as.POSIXct(\"1970-01-01 01:00\", tz = \"HST\"))\n#> [1] \"1970-01-01 01:00:00 HST\"\nattributes(c(dttm_ct))\n#> $class\n#> [1] \"POSIXct\" \"POSIXt\"\n```\n:::\n\n\nA package that deals with these kinds of problems in more depth and provides a structural solution for them is the {vctrs} package9 which is also used throughout the tidyverse.10\n\nLet’s look at unlist(), which operates on list input.\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# Attributes are stripped\nunlist(list(date, dttm_ct)) \n#> [1] 1 39600\n```\n:::\n\n\nWe see again that dates and date-times are internally stored as doubles. Unfortunately, this is all we are left with, when unlist strips the attributes of the list.\n\nTo summarise: c() coerces types and strips time zones. Errors may have occurred in older R versions because of inappropriate method dispatch/immature methods. unlist() strips attributes.\n</details>\n\n\n## Data frames and tibbles\n\n \n\nCredit: [Advanced R](https://adv-r.hadley.nz/index.html) by Hadley Wickham\n\n## Data frame\n\nA data frame is a:\n\n- Named list of vectors (i.e., column names)\n- Attributes:\n - (column) `names`\n - `row.names`\n - Class: \"data frame\"\n\n## Data frame, examples 1/2:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# Construct\ndf <- data.frame(\n col1 = c(1, 2, 3), # named atomic vector\n col2 = c(\"un\", \"deux\", \"trois\") # another named atomic vector\n # ,stringsAsFactors = FALSE # default for versions after R 4.1\n)\n# Inspect\ndf\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> col1 col2\n#> 1 1 un\n#> 2 2 deux\n#> 3 3 trois\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# Deconstruct\n# - type\ntypeof(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] \"list\"\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\n# - attributes\nattributes(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> $names\n#> [1] \"col1\" \"col2\"\n#> \n#> $class\n#> [1] \"data.frame\"\n#> \n#> $row.names\n#> [1] 1 2 3\n```\n\n\n:::\n:::\n\n\n\n## Data frame, examples 2/2:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nrownames(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] \"1\" \"2\" \"3\"\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ncolnames(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] \"col1\" \"col2\"\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nnames(df) # Same as colnames(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] \"col1\" \"col2\"\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nnrow(df) \n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] 3\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nncol(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] 2\n```\n\n\n:::\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nlength(df) # Same as ncol(df)\n```\n\n::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}\n\n```\n#> [1] 2\n```\n\n\n:::\n:::\n\n\nUnlike other lists, the length of each vector must be the same (i.e. as many vector elements as rows in the data frame).\n\n## Tibble\n\nCreated to relieve some of the frustrations and pain points created by data frames, tibbles are data frames that are:\n\n- Lazy (do less)\n- Surly (complain more)\n\n## Lazy\n\nTibbles do not:\n\n- Coerce strings\n- Transform non-syntactic names\n- Recycle vectors of length greater than 1\n\n## !

When you subset columns with `df[, vars]`, you will get a vector if vars selects one variable, otherwise you’ll get a data frame, unless you always remember to use `df[, vars, drop = FALSE]`.\n2. When you attempt to extract a single column with `df$x` and there is no column `x`, a data frame will instead select any variable that starts with `x`. If no variable starts with `x`, `df$x` will return NULL.\n\nTibbles tweak these behaviours so that a [ always returns a tibble, and a $ doesn’t do partial matching and warns if it can’t find a variable (*this is what makes tibbles surly*).\n\n## Tibles: Testing\n\nWhether data frame: `is.data.frame()`. Note: both data frame and tibble are data frames.\n\nWhether tibble: `tibble::is_tibble`. Note: only tibbles are tibbles.

Can you have a data frame with zero rows? What about zero columns?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nYes, you can create these data frames easily; either during creation or via subsetting. Even both dimensions can be zero. Create a 0-row, 0-column, or an empty data frame directly:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ndata.frame(a = integer(), b = logical())\n#> [1] a b\n#> <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)\n\ndata.frame(row.names = 1:3) # or data.frame()[1:3, ]\n#> data frame with 0 columns and 3 rows\n\ndata.frame()\n#> data frame with 0 columns and 0 rows\n```\n:::\n\n\nCreate similar data frames via subsetting the respective dimension with either 0, `NULL`, `FALSE` or a valid 0-length atomic (`logical(0)`, `character(0)`, `integer(0)`, `double(0)`). Negative integer sequences would also work. The following example uses a zero:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nmtcars[0, ]\n#> [1] mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb\n#> <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)\n\nmtcars[ , 0] # or mtcars[0]\n#> data frame with 0 columns and 32 rows\n\nmtcars[0, 0]\n#> data frame with 0 columns and 0 rows\n```\n:::\n\n\n\n</details>\n\n## Exercises 2/4\n\n2. What happens if you attempt to set rownames that are not unique?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nMatrices can have duplicated row names, so this does not cause problems.\n\nData frames, however, require unique rownames and you get different results depending on how you attempt to set them. If you set them directly or via `row.names()`, you get an error:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ndata.frame(row.names = c(\"x\", \"y\", \"y\"))\n#> Error in data.frame(row.names = c(\"x\", \"y\", \"y\")): duplicate row.names: y\n\ndf <- data.frame(x = 1:3)\nrow.names(df) <- c(\"x\", \"y\", \"y\")\n#> Warning: non-unique value when setting 'row.names': 'y'\n#> Error in `.rowNamesDF<-`(x, value = value): duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed\n```\n:::\n\n\nIf you use subsetting, `[` automatically deduplicates:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\nrow.names(df) <- c(\"x\", \"y\", \"z\")\ndf[c(1, 1, 1), , drop = FALSE]\n#> x\n#> x 1\n#> x.1 1\n#> x.2 1\n```\n:::\n\n\n</details>\n\n## Exercises 3/4\n\n3. If `df` is a data frame, what can you say about `t(df)`, and `t(t(df))`? Perform some experiments, making sure to try different column types.\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nBoth of `t(df)` and `t(t(df))` will return matrices:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ndf <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y = letters[1:3])\nis.matrix(df)\n#> [1] FALSE\nis.matrix(t(df))\n#> [1] TRUE\nis.matrix(t(t(df)))\n#> [1] TRUE\n```\n:::\n\n\nThe dimensions will respect the typical transposition rules:\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ndim(df)\n#> [1] 3 2\ndim(t(df))\n#> [1] 2 3\ndim(t(t(df)))\n#> [1] 3 2\n```\n:::\n\n\nBecause the output is a matrix, every column is coerced to the same type.

What does `as.matrix()` do when applied to a data frame with columns of different types? How does it differ from `data.matrix()`?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nThe type of the result of as.matrix depends on the types of the input columns (see `?as.matrix`):\n\n> The method for data frames will return a character matrix if there is only atomic columns and any non-(numeric/logical/complex) column, applying as.vector to factors and format to other non-character columns. Otherwise the usual coercion hierarchy (logical < integer < double < complex) will be used, e.g. all-logical data frames will be coerced to a logical matrix, mixed logical-integer will give an integer matrix, etc.\n\nOn the other hand, `data.matrix` will always return a numeric matrix (see `?data.matrix()`).\n\n> Return the matrix obtained by converting all the variables in a data frame to numeric mode and then binding them together as the columns of a matrix. Factors and ordered factors are replaced by their internal codes. […] Character columns are first converted to factors and then to integers.\n\nWe can illustrate and compare the mechanics of these functions using a concrete example. `as.matrix()` makes it possible to retrieve most of the original information from the data frame but leaves us with characters. To retrieve all information from `data.matrix()`’s output, we would need a lookup table for each column.\n\n\n::: {.cell}\n\n```{.r .cell-code}\ndf_coltypes <- data.frame(\n a = c(\"a\", \"b\"),\n b =

What are the four common types of atomic vectors? What are the two rare types?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nThe four common types of atomic vector are logical, integer, double and character. The two rarer types are complex and raw.\n</details>\n\n## Chapter Quiz 2/5\n\n2. What are attributes? How do you get them and set them?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nAttributes allow you to associate arbitrary additional metadata to any object. You can get and set individual attributes with `attr(x, \"y\")` and `attr(x, \"y\") <- value`; or you can get and set all attributes at once with `attributes()`.\n</details>\n\n## Chapter Quiz 3/5\n\n3. How is a list different from an atomic vector? How is a matrix different from a data frame?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nThe elements of a list can be any type (even a list); the elements of an atomic vector are all of the same type. Similarly, every element of a matrix must be the same type; in a data frame, different columns can have different types.\n</details>\n\n## Chapter Quiz 4/5\n\n4. Can you have a list that is a matrix? Can a data frame have a column that is a matrix?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nYou can make a list-array by assigning dimensions to a list. You can make a matrix a column of a data frame with `df$x <- matrix()`, or by using `I()` when creating a new data frame `data.frame(x = I(matrix()))`.\n</details>\n\n## Chapter Quiz 5/5\n\n5. How do tibbles behave differently from data frames?\n\n<details><summary>Answer(s)</summary>\nTibbles have an enhanced print method, never coerce strings to factors, and provide stricter subsetting methods.\n</details>\n", 6 "supporting": [], 7 "filters": [ 8 "rmarkdown/pagebreak.lua" 9 ], 10 "includes": { 11 "include-after-body": [ 12 "\n<script>\n // htmlwidgets need to know to resize themselves when slides are shown/hidden.\n // Fire the \"slideenter\" event (handled by htmlwidgets.js) when the current\n // slide changes (different for each slide format).\n (function () {\n // dispatch for htmlwidgets\n function fireSlideEnter() {\n const event = window.document.createEvent(\"Event\");\n event.initEvent(\"slideenter\", true, true);\n window.document.dispatchEvent(event);\n }\n\n function fireSlideChanged(previousSlide, currentSlide) {\n fireSlideEnter();\n\n // dispatch for shiny\n if (window.jQuery) {\n if (previousSlide) {\n window.jQuery(previousSlide).trigger(\"hidden\");\n }\n if (currentSlide) {\n window.jQuery(currentSlide).trigger(\"shown\");\n }\n }\n }\n\n // hookup for slidy\n if (window.w3c_slidy) {\n window.w3c_slidy.add_observer(function (slide_num) {\n // slide_num starts at position 1\n fireSlideChanged(null, w3c_slidy.slides[slide_num - 1]);\n });\n }\n\n })();\n</script>\n\n" 13 ] 14 }, 15 "engineDependencies": {}, 16 "preserve": {}, 17 "postProcess": true 18 } 19 }
