Filtering Data with R: Choosing Between `filter()`, `subset()`, and `dplyr`
To filter the data and keep only rows where Brand is ‘5’, we can use the following R code:
df <- df %>% filter(Brand == "5") Or, if you want to achieve the same result using a subset function:
df_sub <- subset(df, Brand == "5") Here’s an example of how you could combine these steps into a single executable code block:
# sample data df <- structure(list(Week = 7:17, Category = c("2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2"), Brand = c("3", "3", "3", "3", "3", "3", "4", "4", "4", "5", "5"), Display = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), Sales = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 13.
Understanding Silhouette Plots for K-Means Clustering in Shiny: A Practical Guide for Large Datasets
Understanding Silhouette Plots for K-Means Clustering in Shiny Silhouette plots are a popular tool used to evaluate the quality of clustering algorithms, such as k-means. In this post, we’ll delve into the world of silhouette plots and explore why they’re not working as expected with large datasets.
Introduction to Silhouette Plots A silhouette plot is a graphical representation of the similarity between each data point and its assigned cluster. The plot consists of two axes: one for the first principal component (PC1) and another for the second PC2 (or the mean of each cluster).
