When calculating the median in R, you can handle missing values by using the na.rm = TRUE parameter in the median() function. Setting na.rm = TRUE instructs R to ignore missing values and compute the median based on the available non-missing values. This ensures that missing values do not impact the calculation.

One potential issue with using while loops in R is the risk of creating infinite loops, where the condition never becomes false. This can lead to the program running indefinitely. To mitigate this, it is important to ensure that the condition in the while loop eventually becomes false based on the desired logic. Additionally, it is crucial to monitor the loop's execution and include appropriate break conditions to exit the loop when necessary.

The mean() function in R can be used to calculate the geometric mean by taking the mean of logarithmic values. By applying the logarithm to the values, taking their mean, and exponentiating the result, you can obtain the geometric mean.

In R, the colon operator ':' generates a sequence of numbers. So, to print a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10, the syntax would be print(1:10).

The cex parameter in the scatter plot function in R can be used to change the size of the points. It allows you to specify a numerical value that determines the relative size of the points on the scatter plot.

To calculate the median of a numeric vector in R, you would use the median() function. The median() function returns the middle value of a sorted vector or the average of the two middle values if the vector has an even number of values.

A nested function in R is a function that is defined within another function. It is created and exists within the scope of the outer function. The nested function can access variables from the outer function and can only be called from within the outer function.

To create a recursive function in R that computes the nth Fibonacci number, you can use the following code: fibonacci <- function(n) { if (n <= 1) { return(n) } else { return(fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)) } }. The function checks if the input n is less than or equal to 1. If it is, it returns n (base case). Otherwise, it recursively calls itself to calculate the Fibonacci number by summing the two previous Fibonacci numbers.

To write a function in R that takes an array of numbers and returns a new array with each element squared, you can use a nested for loop to iterate over each element of the array and calculate the square. By storing the squared values in a new array, you can return the resulting array as the output of the function.

Yes, you can calculate the median of a matrix in R using the apply() function. By specifying the appropriate margin argument (1 for rows, 2 for columns), you can apply the median() function across the specified dimension to calculate the median values.
