The “seq” Function in R

  • Package: Base R (no specific package required)

  • Purpose: Generates sequences of numbers.

  • General Class: Data Generation

  • Required Argument(s):

    • from: Starting value of the sequence.

    • to: End value of the sequence.

  • Notable Optional Arguments:

    • by: Increment between values.

    • length.out: Desired length of the sequence.

    • along.with: Used to determine the length of the result.

  • Example:

  • # Example data for using the seq function
    sequence <- seq(from = 1, to = 10, by = 2)

    # Display the result
    print(sequence)

  • In this example, the seq function is used to generate a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10 with an increment of 2. The resulting sequence vector contains the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The seq function is versatile and can be used to generate sequences with specified starting and ending values, increments, and lengths.
