This seminar introduces R packages and functions that help users import, transform and manage their data in preparation for analysis.   The seminar focuses on the “tidy data” philosophy encouraged by the “tidyverse” collection of R packages, but draws on other packages for useful functions as needed.  Topics include data import, transforming variables, string functions, missing data, merging datasets, reshaping data, grouped data processing, and looping.

NOTE: All researchers are welcome to attend.
