def R(self, line, cell=None, local_ns=None):
'''
Execute code in R, and pull some of the results back into the Python namespace.
In line mode, this will evaluate an expression and convert the returned value to a Python object.
The return value is determined by rpy2's behaviour of returning the result of evaluating the
final line.
Multiple R lines can be executed by joining them with semicolons::
In [9]: %R X=c(1,4,5,7); sd(X); mean(X)
Out[9]: array([ 4.25])
As a cell, this will run a block of R code. By default the resulting value
is printed if it would be when evaluating the same code within an R REPL.
Nothing is returned to python by default.
In [10]: %%R
....: Y = c(2,4,3,9)
....: summary(lm(Y~X))
Call:
lm(formula = Y ~ X)
Residuals:
1 2 3 4
0.88 -0.24 -2.28 1.64
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 0.0800 2.3000 0.035 0.975
X 1.0400 0.4822 2.157 0.164
Residual standard error: 2.088 on 2 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.6993,Adjusted R-squared: 0.549
F-statistic: 4.651 on 1 and 2 DF, p-value: 0.1638
In the notebook, plots are published as the output of the cell.
%R plot(X, Y)
will create a scatter plot of X bs Y.
If cell is not None and line has some R code, it is prepended to
the R code in cell.
Objects can be passed back and forth between rpy2 and python via the -i -o flags in line::
In [14]: Z = np.array([1,4,5,10])
In [15]: %R -i Z mean(Z)
Out[15]: array([ 5.])
In [16]: %R -o W W=Z*mean(Z)
Out[16]: array([ 5., 20., 25., 50.])
In [17]: W
Out[17]: array([ 5., 20., 25., 50.])
The return value is determined by these rules:
* If the cell is not None, the magic returns None.
* If the cell evaluates as False, the resulting value is returned
unless the final line prints something to the console, in
which case None is returned.
* If the final line results in a NULL value when evaluated
by rpy2, then None is returned.
* No attempt is made to convert the final value to a structured array.
Use the --dataframe flag or %Rget to push / return a structured array.
* If the -n flag is present, there is no return value.
* A trailing ';' will also result in no return value as the last
value in the line is an empty string.
The --dataframe argument will attempt to return structured arrays.
This is useful for dataframes with
mixed data types. Note also that for a data.frame,
if it is returned as an ndarray, it is transposed::
In [18]: dtype=[('x', '<i4'), ('y', '<f8'), ('z', '|S1')]
In [19]: datapy = np.array([(1, 2.9, 'a'), (2, 3.5, 'b'), (3, 2.1, 'c'), (4, 5, 'e')], dtype=dtype)
In [20]: %%R -o datar
datar = datapy
....:
In [21]: datar
Out[21]:
array([['1', '2', '3', '4'],
['2', '3', '2', '5'],
['a', 'b', 'c', 'e']],
dtype='|S1')
In [22]: %%R -d datar
datar = datapy
....:
In [23]: datar
Out[23]:
array([(1, 2.9, 'a'), (2, 3.5, 'b'), (3, 2.1, 'c'), (4, 5.0, 'e')],
dtype=[('x', '<i4'), ('y', '<f8'), ('z', '|S1')])
The --dataframe argument first tries colnames, then names.
If both are NULL, it returns an ndarray (i.e. unstructured)::
In [1]: %R mydata=c(4,6,8.3); NULL
In [2]: %R -d mydata
In [3]: mydata
Out[3]: array([ 4. , 6. , 8.3])

In [5]: %R -d mydata
