3) Matrices and Lists

📖 Lecture

We continue describing more data objects in R such as

• atomic objects: matrices (and N-dim arrays)
• non-atomic objects: lists

🎯 Objectives

At the end of this week you will be able to:

• Create matrices with the function matrix()
• Explain how R internally stores matrices
• Describe why matrices are atomic objects
• Describe in what sense a list is considered to be a non-atomic vector
