how are you sir
i want (ggplot ) for clusters for example bar plots of clusters
thanks
Hey Ahmed,
I’m fine and you? 🙂
Thank you for the topic suggestion! Are you looking for something like this? https://statisticsglobe.com/draw-stacked-barplot-in-r

Joachim
Hi Joachim,
Hope you are well.
Your tutorials are very helpful for understanding R programming for people without any background of the same.
I’m hardcore biologist and wish to do data analyses and statistical analyses using R. However, I’m having trouble in finding reference for arranging my data (data frame) for certain packages (e.g.: vegan, microbiome, phyloseq, etc.)
Can you help with these?
Regards,
Shruti
Hey Shruti,
I’m fine, and you? 🙂
First of all, thanks a lot for the very kind words! Glad to hear that you like the Statistics Globe tutorials!
Regarding your question: I’m not a biologist, so I have never worked with these packages. However, could you explain how your data should be modified? Maybe we can still find a solution.
Regards
Joachim
Thank you so much for your reply.
I deal with with environmental samples and I use molecular methods to draw certain inferences based on data that I get (metagenomic) and relating it to various environmental factors such temperature, pH, etc and sometimes intra-comparison within the samples. There are packages in R (Bioconductor actually) like the ones I mentioned which are widely used and a re known to help create and obtain different interpretations. And my major query is that for each of these packages, for R to read the file, the data has to be arranged in a particular way, so how do we know it or is there a way where changes in the script would make file readable
-Regards,
Shruti
The required data format depends on the functions and packages you are using. First, I would have a look at the help documentation of the function you want to use (i.e. write a ? in front of the function name and execute it in the RStudio console). This should give you an idea on how to format your data.
Once you know the required format, you can use the search function on Statistics Globe. I have created many tutorials on data manipulation already. Some tutorials that might be useful to manipulate your data:
https://statisticsglobe.com/reshape-data-frame-from-wide-to-long-format-in-r
https://statisticsglobe.com/r-order-data-frame-rows-according-to-vector
https://statisticsglobe.com/add-column-to-data-frame-in-r
If you don’t find a solution, you may post your question to the Statistics Globe Facebook group. In this group, people can ask questions about R programming and statistics. By posting there, others can contribute as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/statisticsglobe
I hope that helps!
Joachim
Thank you so much for your reply. I would surely try this and see if it works.
-Regards,
Shruti
You are very welcome Shruti! I hope you’ll find a solution soon 🙂
Regards
Joachim
Yes, thank you. I hope to find a solution soon too ☺😇

Shruti
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos, they have been incredibly helpful throughout the project that I’m conducting at the moment. I only started learning R a couple of months ago but I feel like I’ve come a long way thanks to your videos. Whenever I face a problem, I type it into youtube and the first thing that turns up is a clear video by you explaining exactly how to do it! Really appreciate all the hard work you have put into statistics globe, it is the best R resource I’ve used!
Wow, thank you so much Lasith! This is a wonderful feedback, and I’m very happy to hear that my videos helped to improve your R programming skills!
Good luck with your further learning progress! 🙂

Hi, I have a question about sensitivity analysis in R, i fitted multinomial logit model, we have equations like this:
consider this equation for example,
V1 = ASC1 +a1×Inc+b1×HS+c1×Cld+e1×Dri+ f1×Edu+ g1×Loc+h1×HD+m1×Rnt
for example , V1 is the utility for having one car in the households, we have V0=0 as a base category to compare each category with this reference.
we have also V2, V3, V4 for having 2,3,4 or more cars,
we estimated a1,b1,c1, and so on by the multinomial logit model, now I want to test the change in household income; we want to test both a 25% decrease (reflecting a possible economic downturn) and a 25% increase; and see the effects on the predicted number of cars, I know I should use the equations resulting of the model and predict function in R , but i do not know how?
Best Regards
Hey Samin,
Unfortunately, I’m not an expert for sensitivity analysis. However, I have created a quick example on how to use the predict function, so hopefully this is helpful to you:
In addition, you may ask your question in the Statistics Globe Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/statisticsglobe

Hello,
I have built a package in R (with the name MSB), but I forgot to run the dependencies of this package first. So, I need to remove this package and reinstall it again.
When I write the CMD commands it gives the following error:
> R CMD REMOVE MSB
Error: unexpected symbol in “R CMD”
Can you please help me with this problem?
Hey Sarah,
Usually, you should be able to simply use the install.packages function to re-install a package. Have you already tried that?
Regards,
Joachim
hey sir im a statistics student a researcher and im doing a research on bringing an accuracy in classification in machine learning so i need some help in R can i contact you personally ?

Hey Navya,
Thank you very much for the kind comment, glad you like the tutorials on Statistics Globe!
Sure, what is your specific question?
Regards,
Joachim
Hello, Joachim.
I am sorry to bother you with this question. I know it’s off topic, but I wanted to try at least. So I have this code in R:
my_pmatch <- function(q, size, lower.tail=TRUE){
if(!(floor(size) == size) | size < 1){
stop("size must be a whole number")}else{
for(i in 1:q){
if(q < 0){
return(0)} else {
return(print(my_pmatch (1,size)))}}}}
I want it to implement the p-series function for a Matching size distribution and return an answer for any numeric q. If you could give me any hints as to what is wrong with it, I would really appreciate it. If don't want to answer me, then no problem, I will understand. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day.
Hi Cecilia,
Thank you for your kind message. I just had a look at your function, and for me, it looks strange that you call your own function within this function (i.e. this line of code: return(print(my_pmatch(1,size)))).
Could you please explain what you are trying to do in this line?
Regards,
Joachim
Hello, Joachim.
Thank you for answering my comment. What I was trying to do with that line is for the code to return a numeric answer, using the p series in a Matching (size) distribution. I though that this line will command R to return a numeric answer, following the conditions above the line. I don’t know if I am explaining myself correctly. Thank you for reading my comments and for your help. Have a great day.
Hi again,
Thank you for the clarifications. I’m afraid it is not possible in the way you are trying to do this. The first part of your function looks fine to me, but this last line should be modified.
Unfortunately, I’m not an expert on p series in matching distributions, so I cannot help you in more detail. However, I have recently created a Facebook discussion group where people can ask questions about R programming and statistics. Could you post your question there? This way, others can contribute/read as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/statisticsglobe

Joachim
Thank you for answering my last comment, and thank you for all your help and for recommending me the Facebook page. I will check it out. Have a great day.
You are very welcome Ana, I hope the Facebook group was helpful!

Hi , could you help please
Write three R functions called “Test1.R.Function()”, “Test2.R.Function()”, “Test3.R.Function()”, to perform the simulation study presented in section 4 “4 A Simulation Study” of the paper “Stavros_2004.pdf”. Repeat the simulation study as conducted and presented in section 4 for each test with only N = 1000 repetitions. Compare your results with the simulation results presented in tables:
Table I(a) and Table I(b) for Test 1
Table II(a) and Table II(b) for Test 2
Table III(a) and Table III(b) for Test 3
