Quick Intro to rpy

Plot with rpy

from rpy import *

x = range(0, 10)
y = [ 2*i for i in x ]

r.plot_default(x, y)

from rpy import *
import math

x = range(0, 10)
y1 = [ 2*i for i in x ]
y2 = [ math.log(i+1) for i in x ]

r.plot_default(x, y1, col="blue", type="o")
r.points(x, y2, col="red", type="o")

xlabels = [ "#%d" % (i,) for i in x ]
r.axis(1, at = x, label=xlabels, lwd=1, cex_axis=1.15)
r.title("My Plot")

R vs rpy

Description	R language	rpy (R Python Bindings)
Start command line	R	python
		from rpy import *
Quit Command line	q()	CTRL + D
Make x = (1, 2, ..., 20)	x <- 1:20	x = range(1, 21)
A weight vector of standard deviations.	w <- 1 + sqrt(x)/2	w= 1+sqrt(x)/2
Make a data frame of two columns, x and y, and look at it	dummy <- data.frame(x=x, y= x + rnorm(x)*w)	dummy = r.data_frame(x=x, y=x+w*r.rnorm(x))
	dummy	dummy
Fit a simple linear regression of y on x and look at the analysis	fm <- lm(y ~ x, data=dummy)	fm=r.lm(r("y~x"),data=dummy)
	summary(fm)	r.summary(fm)
Create a matrix	B <- matrix(c(1:12),4,3)	b=r.matrix(range(1,13),nrow=4,ncol=3)
Import R modules	require(scatterplot3d)	r.require('scatterplot3d')
Plot matrix using scatterplot3d	scatterplot3d(x = c(col(B)),y=c(row(B)),z=(c(B)))	r.scatterplot3d(x = r.c(r.col(b)), y=r.c(r.row(b)) , z=r.c(b))
Plot matrix using scatterplot3d with bars	scatterplot3d(x = c(col(B)),y=c(row(B)),z=(c(B)),type = "h", lwd = 5, pch = " ")	r.scatterplot3d(x = r.c(r.col(b)), y=r.c(r.row(b)) , z=r.c(b),type = "h", lwd = 5, pch = " ")
