R Language: Data types and structures

-

To make the best of the R language, you'll need a strong understanding of the basic data types and data structures and how to operate on those. Very Important to understand because these are the things you will manipulate on a day-to-day basis in R. Everything in R is an object.

R language
The basic data types 
  • logical (e.g., TRUE, FALSE)
  • integer (e.g,, 2L, as.integer(3))
  • numeric (real or decimal) (e.g, 2, 2.0, pi)
  • complex (e.g, 1 + 0i, 1 + 4i)
  • character (e.g, "a", "swc")
The basic data structures in R
  • vector
  • list
  • matrix
  • data frame
  • factors
  • tables
Vector in R
A vector is the most common and basic data structure in R and is pretty much the workhorse of R. 
Vectors can be of two types:
  • atomic vectors
  • lists

Python Dictionary Vs List With Examples

Dictionary and List we use interchangeably in Python to store values. For beginners, both look the same. In reality, they both differ. I want to share some key differences between Python Dictionary and List . Python Dictionary Vs List Top Differences. Values in lists are accessed by means of integers called indices, which indicate where in the list a given value is found. Dictionaries access values by means of integers, strings, or other Python objects called keys , which indicate where in the dictionary a given value is found.  In other words, both lists and dictionaries provide indexed access to arbitrary values, but the set of items that can be used as dictionary indices is much larger than, and contains, the set of items that can be used as list indices.  Also, the mechanism that dictionaries use to provide indexed access is quite different from that used by lists. Both lists and dictionaries can store objects of any type. Values stored in a list are implicitly ordered by their p

5 HBase Vs. RDBMS Top Functional Differences

HBASE in the Big data context has a lot of benefits over RDBMS. Clear difference makes you feel great why you need HBASE in Hadoop or Bigdata platform. Let us check one by one quickly. HBASE Vs. RDBMS HBase handles a large amount of data that is store in a distributed manner in the column-oriented format while RDBMS is systematic storage of a database that cannot support a random manner for accessing the database. RDBMS strictly follow Codd's 12 rules with fixed schemas and row-oriented manner of database and also follow ACID properties, while HBase follows BASE properties and implement complex queries. Secondary indexes, complex inner and outer joins, count, sum, sort, group, and data of page and table can easily be accessible by RDBMS. From small to medium storage application there is the use of RDBMS that provide the solution with MySQL and PostgreSQL whose size increase with concurrency and performance. Codd's rules always need to keep in mind while extending the size of th

The Internet and the vast amount of data are inspiration CEOs of big corporations started to use Machine learning. It is to provide a better experience to users. Let us take Amazon, online retail that uses   Machine learning.  The algorithm's purpose is to generate revenue. Based on user search data, the ML application provides information or insights. The other example is the advertising platform where Google is a leader in this line. Where it shows ads based on the user movements while surfing the web. These are just a few, but there are many in reality. Machine Learning 1. Evolution of TensorFlow 2. Machine Learning Frameworks 1. Torch The torch is the first framework developed in 2002 by Ronan Collobert. Initially, IBM and Facebook have shown much interest. The interface language is Lua. The primary focus is matrix calculations. It is suitable for developing neural networks. 2. Theano It is developed in 2010 by the University of Montreal. It is highly reliable to process graphs
