options(stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

虽然我的. r配置文件中没有这个，因为它可能会破坏我的合作者的代码，但我希望它是默认的。为什么?

1)字符向量使用更少的内存(但只是很少);

2)更重要的是，我们可以避免这样的问题:

> x <- factor(c("a","b","c"))
> x
[1] a b c
Levels: a b c
> x <- c(x, "d")
> x
[1] "1" "2" "3" "d"

and

> x <- factor(c("a","b","c"))
> x[1:2] <- c("c", "d")
Warning message:
In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, 1:2, value = c("c", "d")) :
  invalid factor level, NAs generated

因子在你需要的时候很有用(比如在图中实现排序)，但大多数时候都很麻烦。

我在个人资料中设置了格子颜色主题。以下是我使用的另外两个调整方法:

# Display working directory in the titlebar
# Note: This causes demo(graphics) to fail
utils::setWindowTitle(base::getwd())
utils::assignInNamespace("setwd",function(dir)   {.Internal(setwd(dir));setWindowTitle(base::getwd())},"base")

# Don't print more than 1000 lines
options(max.print=2000)

我喜欢保存我的R命令历史，并在每次运行R命令时都可用:

在shell或.bashrc中:

export R_HISTFILE=~/.Rhistory

在.Rprofile:

.Last <- function() {
        if (!any(commandArgs()=='--no-readline') && interactive()){
                require(utils)
                try(savehistory(Sys.getenv("R_HISTFILE")))
        }
}

让data.frames的显示有点像'head'，只是不需要输入'head'

print.data.frame <- function(df) {
   if (nrow(df) > 10) {
      base::print.data.frame(head(df, 5))
      cat("----\n")
      base::print.data.frame(tail(df, 5))
   } else {
      base::print.data.frame(df)
   }
}

(从如何使'头'自动应用到输出?)

这是我的。它不会帮助你着色，但我从ESS和Emacs…

options("width"=160)                # wide display with multiple monitors
options("digits.secs"=3)            # show sub-second time stamps

r <- getOption("repos")             # hard code the US repo for CRAN
r["CRAN"] <- "http://cran.us.r-project.org"
options(repos = r)
rm(r)

## put something this is your .Rprofile to customize the defaults

                                             #type="nbcairo"))  # Cairo device
                                             #type="cairo"))    # other Cairo dev
                                             type="xlib"))      # old default
