But as long as you make your variables reasonably descriptive, this won’t be an issue. The first caveat is that if you call your variables certain function names, it will screw up those functions. You could have called it “fart” for all RStudio cares. We used the variable name “control_data,” but it doesn’t REALLY matter what you call it. Now if you run this code, you’ll see the variable “control_data” show up in the Workspace, which should also tell you it is numeric, which means it is 10 numbers in a vector. To do that, change the command to look like this:Ĭontrol_data = c(8, 9, 10, 6, 7, 8, 10, 8, 8, 8) Importantly, nothing appeared in the Workspace, which means we didn’t assign this vector of data to any variable. This is great, but you’ll also notice, nothing else happened. The blue shows your command and the black, after, shows the data. Into your script and running that line by highlighting and hitting Ctrl+Enter, you’ll see this in the console: > c(8, 9, 10, 6, 7, 8, 10, 8, 8, 8) 8 9 10 6 7 8 10 8 8 8 To enter that into R, you use the c() command, which concatenates things (like numbers) into a row, aka vector. If you counted chromosomes in 10 control cells, maybe you counted 8, 9, 10, 6, 7, 8, 10, 8, 8, 8 chromosomes. Perhaps the wild type number of chromosomes is 8. Let’s pretend we did an experiment where we counted the number of chromosomes in cells under two treatments, the control, where we would expect a relatively constant number of chromosomes, and a drug treatment, which increases chromosomal instability and causes aneuploidy (the wrong number of chromosomes). You might as well save the script somewhere now this should be intuitive enough to not require explaining. You’ll see it appear in the console, where things get run, after the prompt, looking like this: To run the code, highlight it then press Ctrl+Enter. It is important to clear your workspace before doing something new, so that old leftovers don’t contaminate the new project. This line of code removes anything left in the workspace. You should always do this at the beginning of any analysis. Now there will be a blank white editor window, which is where we’re going to put the code. I always find it easiest to learn by doing something, rather than just by seeing a list of possibilities, so here I’ll walk you through making some fake data, showing it in a boxplot, and doing a t-test to check for differences.įirst, when you open RStudio, you should create a new R script, with this button near the top left: So now you’re convinced that R is the language for you, you’ve downloaded R-Studio (from ) and opened it, and.what the hell do you do now?
