Course Description
In this interactive tutorial, you will learn how to perform sophisticated dplyr techniques to carry out your data manipulation with R. First you will master the five verbs of R data manipulation with dplyr: select, mutate, filter, arrange and summarise. Next, you will learn how you can chain your dplyr operations using the pipe operator of the magrittr package. In the final section, the focus is on practicing how to subset your data using the group_by function, and how you can access data stored outside of R in a database. All said and done, you will be familiar with data manipulation tools and techniques that will allow you to efficiently manipulate data.

-
Filter and arrange
Learn how to search through the observations in your data set (and extract useful observations) with the filter function. Rearrange the observations in your data set with the arrange verb.
-
Group_by and working with databases
Complete your mastery of data manipulation with group-wise operations and databases. Learn to use group_by to group your data into subsets of observations, and use dplyr to access data stored outside of R in a database.
-
Select and mutate
Get familiar with dplyr's manipulation verbs. Meet the five verbs and then practice using the mutate and select verbs.
-
Summarize and the pipe operator
Master the data manipulation verb summarize, and practice combining the five verbs to solve advanced data manipulation tasks. Learn to chain the operators together with the piping operator.
