Data Wrangling with R
March 7 @ 4:15 pm – 5:45 pm
Data wrangling is the process of obtaining, cleaning, reshaping, and transforming raw (and messy) data into a useable form of processed (and tidy) data. It is known that a majority of data analysts and data scientists spend as much as 80% of their time on data wrangling. Thus, it is essential to get familiar with good data wrangling tools that help you save time and avoid errors. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn basic skills to import, export, clean, reshape, transform, and visualize data using the well-known data science package called tidyverse.
Learning Objectives: (You will learn how to):
- Import and export data
- Clean, reshape and transform data
- Make messy data into tidy data
Pre-requisites
- Basic knowledge of R and RStudio (e.g., Programming Basics with R – Level 1)
- Posit Cloud account; if you don’t have one yet, please create a new account at https://posit.cloud/
- Tidyverse package; please make sure that you have installed the tidyverse package in your R environment. See: https://www.tidyverse.org for more information.
