<h1>Minitutorial 1</h1>
<p>With the aim to provide an example of a complete workflow and to show some useful <em>techniques</em> and <em>functions</em> when <strong>programming in R</strong> (including how to get the most out of the <strong>documentation</strong>), I have created this <em>R script</em>.</p>
<p>I hope someone find it useful.</p>
<h2>Using the local help</h2>
<p>Let's type:</p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p>The help.search function will open a web page at your default web browser when running this script using <strong>knitr</strong>. This is expected.<br/>
Sometimes though, I received an error:<br/>
<strong>Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at …</strong><br/>
I'm still trying to figure out how to keep this from happening.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<pre><code class="r">?help.search;
</code></pre>
<pre><code>## starting httpd help server ... done
</code></pre>
<p>We see the function <strong>help.search()</strong> can take several <em>parameters</em>. </p>
<p>We will use by now only the arguments <em>pattern</em> and <em>package</em>.</p>
<pre><code class="r">help.search("remove objects", package = "base")
</code></pre>
<p>The help page returns: </p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>base::rm</strong> Remove Objects from a Specified Environment </p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<p>If we go to the end of the help page we'll see the following example: </p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>rm</strong>(<strong>list</strong> = <strong>ls</strong>()) </p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<p>So, list is one of the arguments of the <strong>rm()</strong> AKA <strong>remove()</strong> function. </p>
<p>In order to see what the function <strong>ls()</strong> does, type:</p>
<pre><code class="r">?ls();
</code></pre>
<h3>Run examples:</h3>
<p>You can also run the existing examples for a particular function by using the <strong>example()</strong> function.</p>
<pre><code class="r">example(rm)
</code></pre>
<pre><code>##
## rm> tmp <- 1:4
##
## rm> ## work with tmp and cleanup
## rm> rm(tmp)
##
## rm> ## Not run:
## rm> ##D ## remove (almost) everything in the working environment.
## rm> ##D ## You will get no warning, so don't do this unless you are really sure.
## rm> ##D rm(list = ls())
## rm> ## End(Not run)
## rm>
## rm>
</code></pre>
<h2>Vignettes</h2>
<p>A “vignette” is a special type of <strong>documentation</strong> that several but not all packages have included. </p>
<p>When it exists, is the most important source of help for dealing with a particular package. </p>
<p>You can browse all the vignettes you have at your local R installation the following way: </p>
<h3>Browse local vignnetes:</h3>
<pre><code class="r">browseVignettes(all = T)
</code></pre>
<p>The <strong>browseVignettes()</strong> function opens your default web browser and displays a list of the available vignettes at your computer and hyperlinks to open them. </p>
<h3>Review local vignette:</h3>
<p>For viewing the vignette for a particular library you can use the <strong>vignette()</strong> function, or via the the <strong>browseVignettes()</strong>:</p>
<pre><code class="r">vignette("Sweave")
</code></pre>
<p>This will open (usually) a <strong>.pdf</strong> or an <strong>.html</strong> file with the required vignette.</p>
<h3>Review local vignette:</h3>
<pre><code class="r">browseVignettes("knitr")
</code></pre>
<h2>The Rdocumentation page</h2>
<p>A very nice tool for searching and reading the documentation has been built by the rdocumentation.org. </p>
<p>From the web page:</p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p>Rdocumentation is a tool that helps you easily find and browse the documentation of all current and some past packages on CRAN.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<pre><code class="r"># Uncomment if you want to go to the web page
browseURL("http://www.rdocumentation.org/")
</code></pre>
<h3>The Rdocumentation package:</h3>
<p>There is also a package for using the “rdocumentation” tool inside R. </p>
<p>It can be found on GitHub.</p>
<pre><code class="r"># Uncomment if you want to go to the web page
browseURL("https://github.com/Data-Camp/Rdocumentation")
</code></pre>
<p>So let's install it:</p>
<h3>Installing from GitHub:</h3>
<pre><code class="r">library(devtools)
</code></pre>
<pre><code>## WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.
##
## Please download and install Rtools 3.1 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools().
##
## Attaching package: 'devtools'
##
## The following objects are masked from 'package:utils':
##
## ?, help
##
## The following object is masked from 'package:base':
##
## system.file
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="r">install_github("Rdocumentation", "Data-Camp")
</code></pre>
<pre><code>## Installing github repo Rdocumentation/master from Data-Camp
## Downloading master.zip from https://github.com/Data-Camp/Rdocumentation/archive/master.zip
## Installing package from C:\Users\Diego\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpoT2xvG/master.zip
## Installing Rdocumentation
## "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-31~1.0/bin/x64/R" --vanilla CMD INSTALL \
## "C:\Users\Diego\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpoT2xvG\devtools864179c63a8\Rdocumentation-master" \
## --library="C:/Users/Diego/Documents/R/win-library/3.1" --install-tests
</code></pre>
<h3>Using the Rdocumentation package</h3>
<pre><code class="r">library(Rdocumentation)
</code></pre>
<pre><code>##
## Attaching package: 'Rdocumentation'
##
## The following objects are masked from 'package:devtools':
##
## ?, help
##
## The following objects are masked from 'package:utils':
##
## ?, help
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="r">?rm
</code></pre>
<p>Note Rdocumentation masks the help, so you are redirected to the Rdocumentation web page for reading the help. </p>
<p>I found it very handy, mostly due the way the help is displayed, because let's face it, the local R documentation is plain, ugly, and difficult to read.</p>
<p>Now that you know this option exists, let's keep using the local help for the rest of this mini-tutorial.</p>
<h3>Unloading a library from a session:</h3>
<pre><code class="r">detach("package:Rdocumentation", unload = TRUE)
</code></pre>
