Vectors are a great basic data structure in R, but they have important limitations on the dimensions and types of data they contain. Matrices, arrays, and lists are powerful R structures that mitigate these limitations. This course will help you distinguish each of these three elements' purpose and show you how to use them. You'll start by using matrices to store two-dimensional data. You'll then differentiate between row-major and column-major matrices. You'll learn how to use arrays and how you can easily create three-dimensional arrays as you can two-dimensional arrays. You'll then move on to the use of lists and how they differ from vectors. After taking this course, you'll be able to identify when and how to use a matrix, a list, and an array.
