In most occasions, we do not need to create a data frame ourselves. … Continue reading Comparative Data Visualisation in R: an Example of Building a Data Frame from the Ground Up →

This is a very different approach from qualitative research, as the grounded theory is not very likely to be purely constructed by numbers. Thus, we sometimes need to fix our data in order to meet our theoretical … Continue reading Dummy variables in R – an example for logistic regression modeling →
