Assignment #1



This is a first little test of what is possible in this blogging software. I enjoy WordPress more but unfortunately; I seem to be taking both of your classes at the same time which means for my own sanity I must use two different platforms to separate the classes properly in my mind. I'm sure it will be easier on you guys too.

I have also done the github stuff:


I think this will be an enjoyable semester and I honestly look forward to the challenge of this and my other classes. I nearly died last week to ketoacidosis; it was really close. The chance I get to sit here and do this after working a shift is something I don't take for granted anymore so let's continue.

Here is the console window of RStudio:

There were no issues installing, the links lead right where I needed to go, I downloaded R 4.5.2 for windows, my operating system is using 25H2 which is windows 11, and my R Studio version is 2026.01.0-392. 

I was also tasked with describing a vector, basically they are variables. They can store data values, but only one type at a time otherwise you will just cause bugs. A number vector should only contain numbers if it wishes to not recognize the entire string as characters for example. Vectors are fundamental to data analysis in R because they allow for us to perform statistical operations and create models. They are the foundational building blocks that allow for R to be useful, what is a programming language without its way to store information. 

I believe I have satisfied all of the week 1 requirements. It is rather late, but this was due to my poor planning and won't happen again. I look forward dearly to this semester, and also to the things I will be gifted the opportunity to learn in this class.

Week 4: Programming Structure in R

  Week 4: Programming Structure in R      This week was interesting, I'm currently taking visual analytics, predictive analytics, and data text mining so they're all really bleeding into each other quite beautifully. Visiting box plots and histograms is always enlightening in terms of what they can generally reveal about a particular dataset.  With this information at the front of our minds: (Raw data) My code followed by the output:      Frequency here is just taken to mean number of people that falls within that range. There are 2 people under 50 for instance. It can be said from the boxplot that most fall within the 60-120 range for blood pressure, with some ranging to 200 and going as low as 10 it appears. The histogram confirms that most fall within what would be termed a reasonable range, that is 50-150, but the data is skewed by the 4 people that fall in the 0-50 and 150-250 ranges.       From the raw data we can also se...

  Assignment Blog 2; Fixing myMean     To begin, we must first see what the problems are, and sometimes they're highlighted by the error message which is as follows: The error message shows that the code is not working as intended because "assignment" is not found. This helps us easily flag our issues within the code. First "someData" is not a variable that has been established so it cannot be referenced in this program, and sum(assignment) is missing the 2 that it very much needs to be the variable that has values stored. A corrected version of the above code is shown here: As you can see above, fixing the variable names allowed for the program to properly reference what it needed to, in order to function as intended. The average output is correct, double checked with a calculator just to be sure, with the mean score on assignment 2 being 19.25.
