Calculate the Mean, Median, and Mode in R

Calculating measures of central tendency, such as the mean, median, and mode, is a fundamental task in data analysis. Here's how to compute these metrics in R:

1. Mean:

The mean or average of a set of values is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values.

# Create a vector
data <- c(2, 4, 6, 8, 10)

# Calculate the mean
mean_value <- mean(data)
print(mean_value)  # Outputs: 6

2. Median:

The median is the middle value of a set when it's ordered. If there's an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values.

# Calculate the median
median_value <- median(data)
print(median_value)  # Outputs: 6

3. Mode:

R does not have a built-in function to calculate the mode, but it's easy to compute using a custom function. The mode is the value(s) that appear most frequently in a data set.

# Calculate the mode
mode_function <- function(x) {
  uniqv <- unique(x)
  uniqv[which.max(tabulate(match(x, uniqv)))]
}

data2 <- c(2, 4, 4, 6, 8, 8)

mode_value <- mode_function(data2)
print(mode_value)  # Outputs: 4

Note: The above function returns only one mode. If the data has multiple modes (i.e., it's multimodal), the function will return one of them. If you need all modes, you'd need a more elaborate function or a package like modeest.

Bonus: Using `modeest` package for Mode

If you deal with more complex datasets and need a more robust way to calculate mode, consider using the modeest package.

First, install and load the package:

install.packages("modeest")
library(modeest)

Now, use the mlv function to find the mode:

mode_value <- mlv(data2, method = "mfv")
print(mode_value)

Conclusion:

Calculating mean and median in R is straightforward with built-in functions. Mode requires a custom function or an external package, but it's manageable. These measures provide valuable insights into the distribution and central tendency of your data.

R code for finding mean, median, mode:

Overview: Provide a general introduction to calculating mean, median, and mode in R.

Code:

# Sample data
data <- c(4, 7, 1, 9, 2, 5, 9, 3, 7, 5)

# Calculating mean, median, and mode
mean_value <- mean(data)
median_value <- median(data)
mode_values <- table(data)
mode <- as.numeric(names(mode_values)[mode_values == max(mode_values)])

# Printing results
print(paste("Mean:", mean_value))
print(paste("Median:", median_value))
print(paste("Mode:", mode))

Using mean() function in R:

Overview: Demonstrate the use of the mean() function for calculating the mean in R.

Code:

# Using mean() function in R
data <- c(4, 7, 1, 9, 2, 5, 9, 3, 7, 5)

# Calculating mean
mean_value <- mean(data)

# Printing result
print(paste("Mean:", mean_value))

Finding median in R programming:

Overview: Showcase how to find the median in R using the median() function.

Code:

# Finding median in R
data <- c(4, 7, 1, 9, 2, 5, 9, 3, 7, 5)

# Calculating median
median_value <- median(data)

# Printing result
print(paste("Median:", median_value))
