Sample R Programming Assessments question Test your knowledge!

When using the R function glm(), what does specifying the family = binomial(link = 'logit') argument achieve?

  • It fits a Gaussian linear model.
  • It instructs glm() to use a binomial distribution with a log link function.
  • It fits a linear regression model with non-constant variance.
  • It fits a logistic regression model.
  • It fits a Poisson regression model.

What is the primary function of the apply() family functions in R?

  • To facilitate machine learning algorithms.
  • To iterate over arrays and lists in a memory-efficient way.
  • To apply a function over the margins of an array or matrix.
  • To create graphical user interfaces within R.
  • To perform asynchronous operations.

What does the term 'lazy evaluation' refer to in R programming?

  • The process of evaluating variables only at the moment they are used in the code.
  • The efficiency gained from compiling R code before execution.
  • The delay in garbage collection until maximum memory capacity is reached.
  • The method of saving intermediate results for reuse in later computations.
  • A debugging feature that postpones error messages until the end of the script.

Given a vector x with 10 million numeric values, which of the following R scripts will efficiently calculate the mean without causing memory issues?

  • mean(unlist(lapply(x, identity)))
  • sum(x)/length(x)
  • Reduced <- Reduce(`+`, x); Reduced/length(x)
  • for(i in 1:length(x)) { total <- total + x[i] }; total / length(x)
  • accumulate(x, `+`)/length(x)

R has several packages for data manipulation. Which package provides the dplyr function select() to subset data by columns?

  • data.table
  • ggplot2
  • plyr
  • dplyr
  • tidyr

What R function allows you to take a script of 'base R' graphics commands and produce LaTeX output?

  • Sweave()
