To create a grouped boxplot in R, we can use the ggplot2 library’s aes() and geom_boxplot() functions. The aes() function maps the continuous and categorical variables to visual properties of a plot. The geom_boxplot() function creates a boxplot. There is a difference between a standard boxplot and a grouped boxplot. A standard boxplot provides a … Read more
For data exploration, quickly inspecting the data, verifying the structure, or debugging large datasets, we need some kind of tool that helps prevent excessive data flooding in the console. That’s where head() and tail() generic functions come into play. head() function The head() function displays the first n parts of the vector, matrix, table, or … Read more

For understanding the central tendency of your input dataset, you need to calculate the basic summaries like mean, median, and mode. It gives you the data distribution, which tells you whether it is symmetrical or skewed. Mean Mean means the arithmetic average of a number in mathematics.
