R Data Wrangling and Manipulation: Parts 1-2

Intermediate
120 minutes per session R

About This Workshop

In this workshop, we provide practical guidance on data wrangling using R's tidyverse suite of packages.


In Part 1, we cover how to transform tidydata in order to perform data analysis and visualization.


In Part 2, we cover how to wrangle messy data into tidy data.


After this workshop, you will be able to:


  • Use tidyverse functions for transforming your data to be used for visualization and analysis
  • Identify how an "untidy" dataframe gets in the way of data visualization and analysis
  • Use pivot_longer and pivot_wider to wrangle a dataframe into "tidy" form, and join multiple dataframes

What You Should Know First

D-Lab's R Fundamentals or equivalent knowledge; previous experience with base R is assumed.

Software Requirements

Cloud Alternative

Is R Studio not working on your laptop?

  • Attend the workshop anyway, we can provide you with a cloud-based solution until you figure out the problems with your local installation.
