Kursbeskrivning

Lists can be difficult to both understand and manipulate, but they can pack a ton of information and are very powerful. In this course, you will learn to easily extract, summarize, and manipulate lists and how to export the data to your desired object, be it another list, a vector, or even something else! Throughout the course, you will work with the purrr package and a variety of datasets from the repurrrsive package, including data from Star Wars and Wes Anderson films and data collected about GitHub users and GitHub repos. Following this course, your list skills will be purrrfect!

Simplifying Iteration and Lists With purrr

Iteration is a powerful way to make the computer do the work for you. It can also be an area of coding where it is easy to make lots of typos and simple mistakes. The purrr package helps simplify iteration so you can focus on the next step, instead of finding typos.

More complex iterations

purrr is much more than a for loop; it works well with pipes, we can use it to run models and simulate data, and make nested loops!

Working with unnamed lists

Names & pipe refresher

Setting names

Pipes in map()

Simulating Data with Purrr

Run a linear model

map_dbl() and map_int()

map2() and pmap()

Simulating data with multiple inputs using map2()

Simulating data 3+ inputs with pmap()

Troubleshooting lists with purrr

Like anything in R, understanding how to troubleshoot issues is an important skill set. This can be particularly important with lists, where finding the problem can be tricky.

How to purrr safely()

safely() replace with NA

Convert data to numeric with purrr

Finding the problem areas

Another way to possibly() purrr

Replace safely() with possibly()
