It means assign. the right hand side of this symbol is assigned to the left hand side. Programmers prefer to use this than “=” as it is less confusing. It is a special meaning in the R programming, so that for instance you can assign an old data set to a new one, with a few changes. You can also assign the output from a plot, a t test, ANOVA, or a linear model to a named R object.
Start the line with a hash (#) in the Source Panel. A commented line is to help you understand the program, and is not a functioning line for R functions and calculations. Commenting is really useful as if you return to the program a few months later you will understand and remember what you were doing.
WE are planning that each module will take between 6 and 10 hours depending on your existing skills with the concepts and working with the programming language. However it is also a resource that you can dip into for particular aspects of agricultural research. How do I layout, collect data from and analyse a Randomised Complete Block Design experiment.
[code language=”r”]colour <- c(“blue”, “green,”red”, “yellow”)[/code]
[code= language=”r”]numbers <- c(2,3,4,5,6,7,8)[/code]
This can be seen as c for combine, and the items (numbers) are placed in brackets, separated by commas. If the items are text or characters we use quotes.
