Data Wrangling Workshop
To Know
About this Class
This two-hour online workshop will focus on data wrangling using tidy data principles. Tidy data describes a standard way of storing data that facilitates analysis and visualization within the tidyverse ecosystem. There will be a discussion of what makes data "tidy," and methods for reshaping your data using dplyr and tidyr functions.
By the end of this training, attendees will be able to demonstrate how to:
- Describe the purpose of the dplyr and tidyr packages
- Select certain columns and rows in a data frame
- Add new columns to a data frame that are functions of existing columns
- Use the split-apply-combine concept for data analysis
