Tour of the Tidyverse Series–Data Manipulation in R, Part 1

Learn to load in, manipulate, and clean data in R using the dplyr package.

As the first session in the three-session “Tour of the Tidyverse” series, this workshop will introduce participants to the tidyverse, a collection of packages in R designed for working with data. In particular, this session will cover the dplyr package, which allows users to manipulate (change, subset, filter, summarize) datasets. We will also discuss what it means for data to be “tidy,” and begin working with the dataset that we will use for the entirety of the workshop series. Subsequent workshops in the “Tour of the Tidyverse” series will cover data visualization and making reproducible reports.

This workshop series is open to all, but it is recommended that participants have some basic knowledge of writing R code in the RStudio interface. One way to accomplish this is to attend one of the “R for Absolute Beginners” workshops offered regularly throughout the semester.

Open to Graduate Students, Undergraduates, Faculty, Staff, Postdocs
