R programming

This post is a huge jump from the last two - this is not for beginners!! But if you've ever considered building a GUI in R, looked at some of the online documentation, gotten scared, and decided not to, read this!!! Ok here goes.

Dorian Auto GUI

Setup: I built this for a school project. The basic problem setup is from a class I'm taking on operations research using spreadsheets. There exists a car company named Dorian Auto that has the capability to produce 5 different car models - small car, medium car, large car, medium van, and large van. Each of these models require a fixed amount of steel and a fixed amount of labor to produce. Each car model also has a fixed profit associated with it - the payoff for producing one unit of that car model.

Classes and objects in R

Welcome back! In this blog post I'm going to try to tackle the concept of objects in R. R is said to be an “object oriented” language. I touched on this in my last post when we discussed the concatenate function c() and I'll go a bit beyond that this time. Speaking of the c() function, I'll begin this post by divulging the answer to the Challenge from last time.

Intro to R

Hello, and welcome to my blog. The goal of this is to introduce people to R in a way that is easy to grasp. It's command line interface can be pretty intimidating, so hopefully this can help ease you into it. Chances are, if you're reading this, you're a close friend of mine (I don't have much reputation on the internet yet), but no matter who you are, I welcome comments, questions, suggestions, etc.
