[R] descriptive statistics qn

[Daniel Malter]

Type

?mean
?sd

in the R prompt. For your specific goal, type

mean(r[1:25])

in the prompt. Proceed analogously for sd

 Just download one of the very many beginner's manuals or introductory
course materials that you get for free on the internet, and get Ricci's
R-refcard.

Betreff: [R] descriptive statistics qn

This is day one on R for me, I am trying to figure out how to do simple
computations. For example I have a data set with 200 observations. I am
trying to compute the mean and variance in r for 1:25 (first 25
observations); 1:50 (first 50 obs) ; 1:100th observation etc. Here  is the
dataset:
