A helper to recall commonly used R functions with short examples.

Usage

remind(keyword = NULL)

Arguments

keyword

A keyword like "glimpse" or "read_excel". If NULL, show all.

Value

Invisibly returns the matched keywords (character vector).

Examples

remind("glimpse")
#> 
#> ── glimpse 
#> `glimpse(df)` from dplyr/tibble gives a compact overview.
remind()  # show all keywords

#> ── droplevels 
#> `droplevels(df)` removes unused factor levels from a data frame or factor.
#> 
#> ── modifyList 
#> `modifyList(x, y)` merges two lists; elements in `y` overwrite those in `x`.
#> 
#> ── do.call 
#> `do.call(fun, args)` calls a function with arguments in a list: `do.call(plot, list(x = 1:10))`.
#> 
#> ── sprintf 
#> `sprintf("Hello, %s!", name)` formats strings with `%s`, `%d`, etc.
#> 
#> ── scRNAseq 
#> `scRNAseq` (Bioconductor) provides scRNA-seq datasets, e.g., `ZeiselBrainData()`.
#> 
#> ── basename 
#> `basename(path)` extracts the filename from a full path. See also `dirname()`.
#> 
#> ── here 
#> `here::here("data", "raw", "sample1.rds")` builds a path from project root.
#> 
#> ── stopifnot 
#> `stopifnot(cond1, cond2, ...)` throws if any condition is FALSE.
#> 
#> ── object.size 
#> `object.size(x)` estimates memory size; use `format()` to pretty-print.
#> 
#> ── slice 
#> `slice(df, 1:3)` selects rows by position; see `slice_head()`, `slice_tail()`, `slice_max()`.
#> 
#> ── unzip 
#> `unzip("file.zip", exdir = "dir")` extracts ZIP archives.
#> 
#> ── gunzip 
#> `R.utils::gunzip("file.csv.gz", remove = FALSE)` decompresses .gz files.
#> 
#> ── untar 
#> `untar("file.tar.gz", exdir = "dir")` extracts .tar or .tar.gz archives.
#> 
#> ── NoLegend 
#> `NoLegend()` removes legends from ggplot2/Seurat plots.
#> 
#> ── RotatedAxis 
#> `RotatedAxis()` rotates x-axis text for readability in dot plots.
#> 
#> ── guides 
#> `guides(fill = "none")` customizes or removes legends (with `scale_*`).
#> 
#> ── log2 
#> `log2(x)` base-2 logarithm (often for fold change).

#> ── log 
#> `log(x, base = exp(1))` natural log by default; set `base = 10` or `2` for others.
#> 
#> ── log10 
#> `log10(x)` base-10 logarithm (orders of magnitude).
#> 
#> ── round 
#> `round(x, digits = 0)` rounds; use `signif()` for significant digits.
#> 
#> ── floor 
#> `floor(x)` greatest integer ≤ x (e.g., `floor(2.8)` -> 2).
#> 
#> ── ceiling 
#> `ceiling(x)` smallest integer ≥ x (e.g., `ceiling(2.1)` -> 3).
#> 
#> ── cut 
#> `cut(x, breaks)` bins numeric vector; `breaks = 3` or custom; `labels = FALSE` for group indices.
#> 
#> ── cumsum 
#> `cumsum(x)` cumulative sum.
#> 
#> ── cumprod 
#> `cumprod(x)` cumulative product.
#> 
#> ── cummin 
#> `cummin(x)` running minimum.
#> 
#> ── cummax 
#> `cummax(x)` running maximum.
#> 
#> ── row_number 
#> `row_number(x)` order rank (ties broken arbitrarily).
#> 
#> ── min_rank 
#> `min_rank(x)` ties get the same minimum rank.
#> 
#> ── dense_rank 
#> `dense_rank(x)` like `min_rank()` but without gaps.
#> 
#> ── percent_rank 
#> `percent_rank(x)` relative rank in [0,1], normalized by n-1.
#> 
#> ── cume_dist 
#> `cume_dist(x)` cumulative proportion of values ≤ x.
#> 
#> ── str_view 
#> `stringr::str_view(string, pattern)` highlights regex matches; `str_view_all()` for all.
#> 
#> ── str_c 
#> `stringr::str_c(...)` concatenates; use `sep`/`collapse` as needed.
#> 
#> ── str_glue 
#> `glue::glue("Hello, {name}!")` inline expressions with `{}`.
