Big Data - Lab 2

The document discusses big data and data frames in R. It covers accessing data frames using logical AND/OR operators, control statements like if/else and for/while loops, and defining functions. Examples are provided for each topic to demonstrate how to work with data frames and write functions in R.

Big Data

Second Section
Agenda
1. Accessing Data Frames with logical And\OR
2. Control Statements
3. Functions
Data Frames
▪ A group or collection of Vectors
▪ Most of the time, when data is loaded, it will be organized in a data
frame

Example:
>DF <- data.frame (h=c(150,160), w=c(65,72))
>DF
h w
1 150 65
2 160 72
Data Frames
> x <- data.frame (var1 = sample(1:5), var2 = sample(6:10), var3 = sample(11:15))
>x

> x$var2[c(1,3)] = NA
>x
Data frames using Logical And/OR
> x[x$var1 <=3 & x$var3 >11 , ]

> x[x$var1 <=3 | x$var3 >11 , ]


Control Statements
A. if ... else ...
B. for loops
C. While loop
If … else …
If … else … examples
> y <-5 > x <- 3 > z <- 0
> if (y > 0) > if (x != 4) > if (z < 0)
{"y postive"} { x <- x+4; x} {"z negative"}
else else if (z > 0)
{"z positive"}
[1] "y postive" {x}
else
{"z is zero"}
[1] 7
[1] "z is zero"
for loops
▪ Loops are used in programming to repeat a specific block of code.
▪ A for loop is used to iterate over a vector in R programming.

> x <- 0
> for (i in 1:20)
{ x <- x + i}
>x

[1] 210
While
▪ While (condition) { expr_1 }

# While condition is true, repeatedly evaluate expr_1

> x <- 0
> While (x != 60) { x <- x + 1 }
>x

[1] 60
Function Definition
function.name <- function(arg1, arg2, ...)
{ computations on the arguments and some other code }

▪ Arguments can be assigned default values: arg_name = expression

▪ Return value is the last evaluated expression or can be set explicitly


with return().
Function Examples (1)
> square <- function(x = 10) {x * x}
> square()
[1] 100
> square(2)
[1] 4
Function Examples (2)
>intsum <- function(from=1, to=10)
{ sum <- 0 ; for (i in from:to) sum <- sum + i; sum;}
> intsum() # use default values
[1] 55
> intsum(3) # Evaluates sum from 3 to 10
[1] 52
> intsum(to=3) # Evaluates sum from 1 to 3
[1] 6
Return in Functions
> intsum <- function (from=1, to=10)
{ sum <- 0 ; for (i in from:to) sum <- sum + i; return(sum); }
> intsum()
[1] 55
> s <- intsum()
>s
[1] 55
Practice
• Create a Function that takes two arguments (x, y) and returns the “X”
to the power of “Y”
• Example: Pow(2,3) will return 8 ; default return value is 1.

Answer
Pow <- function(x=1,y=1)
{ z=1; for(i in 1:y) z<-z*x; return(z);}
