Counts & Frequencies in R | Using the table & barplot Functions

This tutorial demonstrates how to compute counts (i.e., frequencies) in R, where counts are a common (and easily interpreted) type of descriptive statistics and are useful for describing variables that have nominal or ordinal measurement scales. I demonstrate how to use the table function from base R to compute counts in table form and how to use the barplot function from base R to create simple bar charts to visually display the results. Finally, I demonstrate how to convert a variable to an ordered factor variable, which is sometimes useful when working with variables that have an ordinal measurement scale.
