Lists (aka recursive vectors) are the main data structure in R. Since lists are omnipresent (data.frames are a special sybtype) having a deeper understanding of them will make for a more enjoyable data analysis and helps avoid bugs. Solutions are available here. Exercise 1 Create a list called x with two elements; two vectors of […]

How to tidy up your data set with tidyr
INTRODUCTION In general data analysis includes four parts: Data collection, Data manipulation, Data visualization and Data Insights. The tidyr package is one of the most useful packages for the second category of data manipulation as tidy data is the number one factor for a succesfull analysis. Tidy data means that every column stands for a […]
Dplyr Basic Functions – Exercises
INTRODUCTION The dplyr is an R-package that is used for transformation and summarization of tabular data with rows and columns. It includes a set of functions that filter rows, select specific columns, re-order rows, adds new columns and summarizes data. Moreover, dplyr contains a useful function to perform another common task, which is the “split-apply-combine” […]

dplyr Non-Standard Evaluation Exercises
dplyr is a great package for interactive data wrangling and exploration. One of key aspects that makes it so great is that it uses non-standard evaluation so a user does not have to repeat data frame name and quote names all the time. On the other hand this feature makes programming with dplyr a non-trivial […]
