Retrieving Data from One Column and Producing a New Value in R
Retrieving Data from a Column and Producing a New Value In this article, we’ll explore how to retrieve data from one column in R, perform calculations or comparisons with that value, and produce a new column with the results.
Understanding the Problem The problem presented in the Stack Overflow question is to take values from one column (End) and subtract those values from each individual value in another column (CTCF). The goal is to create a new column (periph_ctcfs) that contains the differences between these two columns, along with the corresponding End values.

Using Loops to Find Specific Means in R: A Data Analysis Guide
Introduction to Data Analysis in R =====================================================
In this article, we will explore the concept of data analysis and how to perform calculations on specific means within a dataset. We will also delve into the process of creating loops to find these specific means.
Background: Understanding DataFrames in R A DataFrame is a two-dimensional data structure consisting of rows and columns, similar to an Excel spreadsheet or a SQL table. In R, DataFrames are used extensively for data analysis and manipulation.
Applying a List to a Function that Outputs a Dataframe in R Using Tidyverse and Base R
Applying a List to a Function that Outputs a Dataframe As a technical blogger, I’ve encountered numerous questions on Stack Overflow and other platforms regarding the application of functions that output dataframes. One such question asks how to apply a list of arguments to a single-argument function that outputs a dataframe. This can be achieved using various methods within the tidyverse ecosystem.
Understanding the Problem The given example function myfun takes a single argument and returns a dataframe containing summary statistics for the mtcars dataset, filtered by the input variable.
