Assignment 1

Data

Load in the data you will need as follows:

data(vegdata1, vegdata2,  package = "edcpR")

Part 1

Extract the following values from the vegdata1 dataset:

Make sure

Store the column with name Elevation in a vector called my_vector.
Store the number in the 18th row and 6th column in an object called my_number.
Create a new vector my_vector_2 which contains both my_vector and my_number.
Calculate the mean of the 12th column and store it in my_mean.
What kind of class is stored in the sixth column? Store this as a string in my_data_type.
What are the dimensions of vegdata1? Store this as a vector in my_dim.

Part 2

Merge vegdata1 and vegdata2 into one data frame. Store your result in my_data_frame. Hint: the resulting dataframe has 144 rows.

Part 3

Use the package “dplyr” to only select rows containing data from Grassland from your merged data frame. Store your result in my_grassland.
