The function <code>nearVar<\/code> returns the number of variables with variance close to zero. The function <code>nearZeroVar<\/code> returns the number of variables with variance very close to zero.<\/p>\n<p>To identify near zero-variance variables, we can use the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Calculate the variance of each variable.<\/li>\n<li>Sort the variables by their variance.<\/li>\n<li>Identify the variables with the lowest variance.<\/li>\n<li>Check if the variance of these variables is close to zero.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If the variance of a variable is close to zero, then the variable is considered to be near zero-variance.<\/p>\n<p>The following code
