The 'Tidyverse' is a set of add-in R packages for data loading, modelling, manipulation and plotting. It is an attempt to make data analysis and plotting cleaner, simpler and more consistent by addressing some poor design decisions in the original language.
This course follows on from our Introduction to R with tidyverse and focusses on the manipulation and restructuring of data using the tidyverse packages. The course shows how to do complex transformations on large data structures and how to deal efficiently with data which is both large and sometimes not well behaved.
