APRIL 2024 WORKSHOP - REGISTRATION CLOSED 

The workshop aims to teach data wrangling with R using the Tidyverse paradigm. Tidyverse is a popular collection of open-source packages that share an underlying design philosophy, grammar and data structure. This workshop is tailored for beginners in the Tidyverse, specifically those with minimal or no exposure to the dplyr and tidyr packages. A basic understanding of R is assumed. Individuals with no prior R knowledge are advised to attend the Introduction to R Programming workshop prior to this workshop. Please do not enrol in this workshop if you have no R knowledge at the start of this workshop. 

Learning objectives 

Upon completion of the workshop, participants should be able to: 

• Differentiate between the Base and Tidyverse paradigms 

• Recognize the characteristics of tidy data 

• Acquire the skills to add/modify columns, subset data by rows and columns, rename column names, and perform group operations using dplyr 

• Pivot data into longer or wider format using tidyr 

• Join datasets using dplyr 

Note:

Supervisor approval must be confirmed prior to registration.
