This course serves as an introductory guide to the programming language R, with a specific focus on the Tidyverse, a powerful collection of tools. Throughout this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of data manipulation and visualization using two key tools: dplyr and ggplot2. By working with a real dataset of historical country data, you will learn the essential techniques of data manipulation, including filtering, sorting, and summarizing. These techniques will enable you to effectively address exploratory questions and derive meaningful insights from the data. Furthermore, you will acquire the skills to transform processed data into visually informative line plots, bar plots, histograms, and more using the ggplot2 package. This will provide you with a practical understanding of how to effectively communicate data through visual representations. By the end of this course, you will have gained valuable experience in exploratory data analysis and a deep appreciation for the capabilities of Tidyverse tools. This course is specifically designed for individuals who have no prior experience in R but are keen on performing data analysis.
