Data wrangling and visualization with R

Data wrangling and visualization with R

This hands-on workshop is designed for those with basic R programming experience. It will focus on data wrangling and visualization using the tidyverse set of packages.

The workshop is open to anyone, but learners should be familiar with programming in R equivalent to the Intro to R and RStudio workshop. You will need access to a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.  The curriculum is based on episodes 4-6 of the Data Carpentry Data Analysis and Visualization with R lesson.

This intermediate workshop is offered twice in Spring 2025 on 27 February, 5pm–8pm and 2 April, 9am–12pm. If you do not have prior experience working in R and RStudio, an introductory workshop to R and RStudio is scheduled for 20 February, 5pm–8pm and 26 March, 9am–12pm. You can take the workshops as a series or choose one that best fits your experience and needs. Please only register for one session of each workshop.

Learning Outcomes:
- Data wrangling practices, including creating summary statistics from a data frame.
- Become acquainted with the concept of tidy data.
- Reshape data between long and wide formats.
- Visualize data using ggplot2.
