Description

In this workshop, we provide practical guidance on data wrangling using R's tidyverse suite of packages. In Part 2, we cover how to wrangle messy data into tidy data. 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

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

Software Requirements: Installation Instructions for R and RStudio

Is RStudio 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.
