Data wrangling in R

Date: Wednesday, 1 February 2023.
Time: 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Location: hybrid (in person at Burnside Hall room 1104 and online via Zoom).
Instructor: Jake Lawlor, PhD student, Dept. of Biology, Faculty of Science, McGill.

Overview: As part of the data science life cycle series, this workshop will introduce you to R functions that help you to clean and manipulate your data sets. This so-called data wrangling often is the crucial step to prepare your data for your analyses. We will use tidyverse packages in this workshop.

At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
· import data sets using the readr package;
· apply the most common dplyr and tidyr functions for data wrangling;
· understand the principles of piping;

Prerequisites:
· Introductory knowledge of R, e.g. from Introduction to programming in R workshop, or from McGill's R summer camp.
· You need to bring your own laptop for this workshop.
