Transcripts
1. Welcome to the Course!: Hi, I'm Emmanuel
soggy and welcome to my course Programming in our getting started
with RStudio. So this is the first in a
series of data analysis with R. And there are three courses
here, three short courses. So this course is 46 min long, long, and there
are seven lessons. The first lesson is installing
RStudio on your desktop. Then how to use RStudio Cloud. There's a practice practice
quiz as the third lesson. Then the most important
features about RStudio. How do we install and
load our packages using RStudio Cloud and creating
interactive graphs, maps, and tables in
just one knife code. The last lesson is a
practice activity. And then you're going to have, of course, a project, like all my skill share
projects, courses. They have a small Capstone
Project you to do. It's for this particular project is for tasks for you to go in your RStudio Cloud and perform some operations
change and options, and look around
navigate so you can be comfortable using RStudio
to store programming in R. So welcome to the course
and let's dive in.
2. Intalling Rstudio On Your Desktop: Okay, so there is two
ways to use RStudio. First, we're going to download R and RStudio on the computer. That's gonna be the first task
and the second lecture or the second task will be to
use RStudio on the Cloud. That RStudio themselves released in July of August,
I believe, 2020. And it's been it's been a lifesaver for me when I
forget my computer, my laptop, I can just go on any Any computer and I can
just login in the Cloud. But the first task here is to download R and RStudio on the laptop or on
your desktop computer. For this, you're going to, there's two steps
actually to do that. First of all, you're
going to download R, the programming language
on your computer. And second, after that, you're going to
download the IDE or integrated development
interface, RStudio IDE. That's gonna be on top of the
art programming language. And then we both, with
both on your computer, you're gonna be able to develop applications
in R using RStudio. So you first download R. So here I'm on
Google download R. Here I can see the first link is go to cran dot
r-project dot org. So I click on it.
Here, I have a link, so I just follow
the link, right? Download R for a Windows. And then Danny, downloads for
me are on my computer here. We are in September 2022. So the version is 4.2, 0.11. Once it's downloaded,
I'm going to pause the video and
once it's downloaded, I'm going to install
it on my computer. And then I'm going to come
back and we are going to download the IDE, RStudio IDE. Okay, So I started
the install here. So double-click
on the installer, just follow the prompts here. And I install R on my computer. So I'm going to pause
the video and then we're going to install RStudio. Here. I'm on rstudio.com. Here I click on
products and RStudio, the first one, the
premier IDE for R. I take on this. Here. I have two options, or desktop or RStudio server. I'm going to click
on RStudio Desktop. That's the one I
want to to download. And I click on Download
RStudio Desktop. I choose my version. There's different versions here. The first is the RStudio Desktop free that I want to download. So I click on Download. And again, it detected
that I have windows. So here I haven't been
download RStudio for Windows. Again, it's downloading here. And once it's downloaded, I'm going to double-click on it to install it on my computer. So I'm going to pause the
video while it's downloading. Okay, so I double-clicked
on the RStudio icon. And here the RStudio setup
software is starting. So I click on Next. And then RStudio is starting
to install on my computer. Okay, so are using installed
here, I'll click Finish. Then I go to my
Start button here, and I click on RStudio. I click Open. And here are the RStudio
IDE has just started with the version are
our version 4.2, 0.1, which I downloaded here. Funny-looking kid isn't name
of the version and year. The carrot sign signifies that
you can start coding in R. So that's it for this video. In the next video, you're
going to learn how to go on the RStudio Cloud installed using the RStudio
Cloud interface. Thank you.
3. How to Use RStudio on the Cloud: So the second way to use
RStudio is in the Cloud. So RStudio, the company
in July or August 2020, released a Cloud
version of RStudio. So that's what we're going to
learn how to use right now. It's very simple. First you go to RStudio, dotCloud, RStudio dot cloud. Then you click on get
started for free. Here you can see four
different packages. Cloud free, club, Premium, Cloud instructor, and
Cloud organizations. All the packages are really
very affordable to five to maybe $10 a month for
instructor or $15 a month. Of course, what we're
going to use in class is cloud free. So you can upgrade
your account for $5 a month for 75 projects. We're going to sign up for free. Of course for free you have
25 projects that you can, you can use and 25 h per
month that you can use. So what you do is you
click on Sign Up here. And here you have
different ways of signing up your three
ways you can use your email and enter a password of firstName
and lastName and sign up. Or you can use your Google account here or sign up with a
GitHub account. If you have a GitHub account, I already have an account here. So what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to login and I'm going
to login with Google. And here I am in RStudio Cloud. So what you have
here on the left, you have the spaces here. So what you can do is you can, you have your own workspace. You can create another
workspace, but that's it. For your free version
and your workspace, you can create up
to 25 projects. Here you have learned section, you have cheat sheets of domain packages in R like deep
lawyer and the Tidyverse. Here you have primers, any or you have what's new. Here. You can have different help links and information about Plans and Pricing and Terms
and Conditions. Okay, so I'm going
to close it out. We're going to work
out of our workspace. So your workspace here, and on the top here you have
the three tabs Projects. So here you can have a list of your projects That's
going to be listed here. And then you have an About
section that explain, that explains a
personal workspace, what you can do with
your personal workspace. You can share projects
that you're doing. Okay? And here, the second
tab here is the usage. So how many project hours do
you have available and still available on your on your
account for the month? Here on the right. When I click on my name, I can see some information
about my personal account. So the plan is cloud free. The period is September
12th, October 12th. I can have up to 50 project
and have to 25 project hours. So so far, I use point for project 2 h and on October 12th, everything is going
to be reset as far as project hours are concerned. Okay. So if I click on Account here, I have more description
about my account. I have one space 50
projects available, 25 h and currently I
have zero Project and 0.4 h here I can upgrade. Okay, here you can
see my usage again. What we're gonna do right now is we are going to go
in your account and we are going to start
creating a project. So for this, you're going to need to go on the
right hand side here. I'm going to create
on the arrow here. And you're going to
click on the arrow here. New projects. You can create a
new RStudio project that's going to launch an instance of RStudio with hopefully the
latest are available. You could create a
Jupiter Notebook project. Now, not on the
free Cloud though, so we can't do that. The free plan. But if you have a graded your plan to
a premium plan, e.g. which is just ten
or $15 a month. And you want to try and
you can afford that. You can create a
Jupyter project here, but you can create
a new project from a Git repository
if you have one. So what we're gonna do here, we're going to create a
brand new RStudio projects. And when I click on this, RStudio is deploying a brand new project
with is launching an R session and is launching an RStudio instance for you. So here we have RStudio here, just like we've been downloaded
in the previous task, we've been downloaded
RStudio on the computer. Well here you have
the same thing. It's the exact same layout
with the version 4.24, 0.1. So it's the latest
version and it's ready to code here
on the top here you have your workspace
and a space to create a project so we
can name your project, I mean, so we can write
test project, e.g. enter. So here we have our project
and then test project. And here we have an
instance of the RStudio. If we go back to our workspace, we can see under my
projects here we have a list of our
projects that we created. So we just created
in one project. Here, test project. If I click on it, then I go back to a resume, my R session and my
RStudio session. If I come back again, here we have again the project. And on the right, we can either put the
project in the trash can, trash bin or download and export projects or here we
can archived project. If we click on Settings, we have a few different
settings that we can change. And who can have access
to this project. So me or everyone in the cloud, if I click on everyone
in the Cloud, then if I give the link, everyone can have
access to that project. So that's the basic
four RStudio Cloud. And as I said before, it's been a lifesaver
for me because I don't always have my laptop
or computer with me. And here I can access
RStudio from anywhere. That's it for this lecture. And next lecture, we're going
to use again or your Cloud. We're gonna use us to use
Cloud for this entire project. And I'm going to show you the most important features of RStudio IDE within
the RStudio Cloud. Thank you very much.
4. Practice Quiz: Here is the first practice
quiz for the RStudio course, getting started with our studio. So according to the first
two videos that you watched, what are some advantages of RStudio Cloud versus
RStudio Desktop? Hey, we always use
RStudio Desktop because RStudio cloud does
not allow for many are functions be using RStudio Cloud because I'm on the road a lot and accessing RStudio using an Internet browser
is very convenient. I don't need to use my
own laptop all the time. See, RStudio Cloud
makes it very easy to share projects with
my team and my students. D. Rstudio Cloud is very easy to use because
there is nothing to configure and no software
installation to do. I just sign up to us to do dotCloud and I can use
RStudio in my browser. So what are all the
possible answers here? A, we always use
RStudio Desktop because RStudio cloud does not allow
for many are functions. This is incorrect. Rstudio Cloud provides
all functionalities that are found in the
Earth's to you free version. And you can use
all the functions provided by the R
programming language. B. I use RStudio Cloud because
I'm on the road a lot and accessing or using an Internet browser
is very convenient. This is correct in this
particular use case, if you don't want to
bring your laptop, just use RStudio Cloud on trips. Just create projects
with RStudio Cloud. Then you can use
are on any browser. See, RStudio Cloud makes it very easy to share projects with
my team or my students. This is also correct. With RStudio Cloud, it is
easier to work with a team or students to share projects than it is with RStudio Desktop. D. Rstudio Cloud is very easy
to use because there's nothing to configure and no
software installation to do? This is correct. There is nothing to configure, no software to install. Just sign up to RStudio Cloud
and you can create projects and start using the R programming
language on any browser.
5. Most Important Features About RStudio: Okay, so this activity
is about looking at RStudio, IDE, the layout, and talking about best
practices and how to go into the global options to change some options to make
our life easier really, as an artist, your developer. So here I'm in my RStudio
Cloud instance, right? And I have a project, so I click on Project here. Our instance is
starting or steed you instances starting
with The through. All the files here on
the bottom right corner, all the files of our projects. What we're gonna
do first of all, is looking at our global
options in tools. So go to Tools, Global Options. A best practice in any IDE
is to save the source, but not the workspace. In R and RStudio. It means two things. Always start with a blank state, okay, a blank slate. So to do that, we are going
to the general options. And here you can see
under workspace, you have restored our data
into workspace at the startup. So what we wanna do is
we want to uncheck this and save workspace
to our data on exit, we want to choose never. The oral data is a file
that is used to save all your data object when
you work on a project. And you don't want to save that. What you wanna do is
that whenever you start a project or the next day you
come back to your project, your RStudio session,
you want to start fresh. You want to always start
our with a blank slate. So you don't want to save your data file every
time you exit RStudio. Since we are in the
global options here, we're going to change
the appearance here, unlike a dark theme. So here you have RStudio
theme, modern or sky. So I choose modern 12
and then tomorrow night, 80s for a dark theme. And then here under Pane Layout, you can see here when
you come to RStudio, There's four panes, two on
the left and to underwrite. The first on the left, top-left is a source. Top right is a console. Bottom-left environment
with your variables. And on the bottom right
you have your files, your packages, your
plots, et cetera. Now you can change
it however you want. Okay? I personally like that idea of having the source on the left and the
console on the right. And all my extra things
at the bottom here. So here I click
Apply and click OK. Here. I can collapse here
if I wanted to. And you can see that you
have your four panes here. You have the code
that is in here. You have the console
on the right. With a terminal. You can use a terminal
or background jobs. So console terminal are here on the right or the man right
here you have all your files, you have the plots, you have your packages that
are installed already. And we're going to use the
Install button package is a lot to install different
packages for our project. We have a help, we have the viewer
when you create e.g. an interactive plots or tables. And you have your tab
for presentation, e.g. if you create a PowerPoint
presentation with R. And at the bottom here, you have your environment with all your variables that are
going to be placed here. The history, your connections. Here. If you have database
connections, e.g. and here you have access to several tutorials about Shiny, about our programming
in general. Now, let's go over the
different tabs here. First of all, on
the File option, the most important for me option here is to import the data set. So we're going to
see in importing are the section number to module number two
in this course, how to import text, Excel files, SPSS, etc. So it's gonna be
here under edit. The most important for me
is to clear the console. Sometimes it will console, you have a lot of code. Control L, just clear, clear the console or
this option to Find in Files can be very useful. If you don't know, if you have multiple files
and you want to find a certain word in all the
files of your projects. Right? Under code here, you have
several options here. Under View, you can change the
layout of your panes here. So I use this sometimes here
for your plots sessions. Let's talk about a minute
about restarting R. When you develop in R, It's a very good idea to
restart our very often. And sometimes beginner students, they use this command that they've learned or
they looked online. They looked up online. And it's to remove basically all the objects
in your workspace, right? And you hit Enter and
removes all the objects, the variables that you
would have created that are placed here on the
bottom left of RStudio. The problem when you do this, it doesn't really give
you a blank slate. Because when you work with
R and RStudio in shiny, if you have a Shiny application, there's a lot of things
going on in the background. And the best way to really
restart fresh is to click on restore R. It's
going to start a new session and it's going to empty all your variables and MT, really everything that is in the background that
you don't see, you completely restored
a new R session. And it is really best practice
that when you develop, when you debug just
to restart are often hear when you build e.g. packages. Here a section
where to use when you are debugging here
to start profiling. Here's the time
you're going to use to install all your packages. This is also the
same thing if you go to package here and
you click on Install. So same thing. Here, you have different tools, the Global Options,
Project Options, and here you have helped. You're on the right. You have the version of R
that you're working with. If you want to work with
different versions, you click on the arrow
here and you have a list of the previous versions, and you click, you can click
on any version you want. If you want to test e.g. we created a package
and you want to test if your package works well in
different versions of R, you can use that function. So we went through the
RStudio interface. Again. For me, the most
important thing, the best practice
is really to save the code and not to
save the workspace. To start with a blank slate
when you start an RStudio. And to do that, you renounce
the, our data file. So we went in the beginning to Global Options and we unclicked
the restore our data. And also to restore
our very often, especially when you debug. So that's it for this video. In other video,
we're gonna learn how to install and
load packages.
6. Install and Load R Packages: Okay, So in the last video, I showed you the most
common options to be able to navigate RStudio
IDE on the Cloud, on RStudio dot cloud. Now we're going to talk about downloading and
activating our packages. So what are our
packages to start with? Well, they are free
libraries of code written by the R users
in our community. And many functions that
we use every single day come in packages such as
functions to manipulate data, create maps, develop
web applications, build statistical
models, create datasets, create interactive
graphs and tables, and scrape the web, use Web API, etc, etc. So there are a lot of
packages out there, but usually they are
found in two places. The first place
that is the default in RStudio is the crane. And a crane stands for
Comprehensive R Archive Network. You can say that it is the public clearinghouse
for our packages. So you're not going to download the packages directly
from the Internet. You are going to use
the RStudio interface to be able to download those
packages from the Quran. So first I want to show
you how you can manage all these repositories
of packages. So you go to Tools,
Global Options here. And under Packages, you can see there's a tab for
package management. Here you have already
a repository, which is the primary repository, is the CRAN, like you couldn't
change it if you want, but it's usually by default the primary repository
you can add or remove other repository as such as GitHub or other repositories
that you find on the web. Okay, So the primary
repository is CRAN. We're going to exit from here. And what we're gonna do is
use the RStudio interface to download packages
on our stdio library. So first of all, I wanted to show
you under packages, you have all these packages
here that are pre-installed, that come with the
installation of RStudio. So when you install
RStudio on your computer or you start an osteo instance. You have already
all these packages installed,
pre-installed for you. There's a lot of
packages that are not installed that
you're going to use every single day to
manipulate data, e.g. so what we're going to
use over gonna do right now is to download one
of those packages. In one of those packages, it called D player. So under Packages, you
have been called Install. Here you can choose where you want to install
those packages from. Here you have the
primary repository from your global options here. Right here you enter the
name of the package. So here we're going to
download deep layer. As I type here you can see an auto completion of all the packages that
starts with D P, L course in the Qur'an. So here we're going
to choose supplier. It's going to install the plan. You're into our account,
into this library. We're installing the
dependencies always. And we'll click on Install. You can see here the command
install dot packages. Dplyr installed all
the dependencies and installed the player. We can go under Packages here. On the right. We're going to enter deep layer. And what you see here
that the player has been installed, the name here, the description of grammar
of data manipulation, and the version 1.0, 0.10. If we click on D player, we have a description or
documentation of this package. Grandma data manipulation. We have the documentation
of this version here with a description of all the available
functions in this package. So let's say we want to
see a function here. We click on the
function and we have a description of the
function with the arguments, the value, etcetera, etcetera. We can of course, find documentation on the web. We can go to Google and type in deep liar and the
name of the function. And we're gonna go through the supplier website and find a description
of that function. So now we have this dplyr package
installed in our account. So now we need to activate it. And to activate it, you simply
click the checkbox here. And the command is library, the supplier. In here. All the functions available in that package are now available
in our, our session. And we can use them to
manipulate data, created, etc. Now the second
most common way to download and use packages
or through GitHub. So to download and activate
packages from GitHub, we first need to download
another package, night, and this package
is called DevTools. It's a package that has a lot of tools to
develop other package. And this package has a function
called install Git Hub that we will need to be able to download
packages from GitHub. So we'll need to
download this one first. So DevTools, and we'll
click on Install. Okay, so depending
on your connection, you can take a while. Here it has downloaded DevTools, so we need to activate it. Dev tools. You see here the version 2.4, 0.4, dev tools here, we need to activate it. So all the functions within dev tools are
available for us and one of the functions
is installed Git Hub. We're going to install
a package from GitHub, a package called bromine. So this is specific syntax for this Install
GitHub function. So install. Then you can see the
auto-completion here. Get hub. I clicked
on tab and then quote the author of the
package for its slash, the name of the package. And then we press Enter. So here it's downloading here. And depending on the
conductivity of your, your computer, you
can take a while. So I'm going to pause
the video and come back. When the functions and
packages installed. The package is installed
and now you're going to use the command library to just activate the library and you can use
all the functions available in that package. So that's the end of the video
that was about R packages, how to download the packages, the two most common places to download packages and how
to activate packages. And activate all the
functions within the package. Within your R session.
7. Create Interactive Graphs Maps Tables: So in this video, we will
download the more libraries, more packages to create
tables, maps and graphics. And we'll use the
functions within those packages to create
interactive tables. Actually interactive
HTML widgets for tables and graphs and maps
with just one line of code. So first what I'm gonna
do is I'm going to show how to get data because
we need a dataset to work with these graphs
and these maps and all that. So here I'm in my
RStudio account. So I click here on the little broom here
to clear my console. So already done that. And here I click on
the collapse icon. So we get more space here. And this line of code will
show us the data set that are preloaded when you
start an R session. So here I'm going to
collapse this to. And you can see here
all the data sets that are included in a package called that I said
that are already, that is already included
when you start an R session. So you have all these datasets to play with basically, right? So e.g. here I have a
data set called Titanic. Here, description of
the dataset survival of passengers on the Titanic. Here you have a tooth growth. Us arrests which has violent
crime rates by US state. So I'm just going
to pick a data set here, US arrests e.g. and I press Enter. So here the columns represent
the four variables, four columns, and the rows
represent each state. We can get another
data set, swiss e.g. here's another dataset with 123456 column or six variables. And each row represents
a county in Switzerland. And for each county, the data set is representing
the fertility, percentage, agriculture examination,
education, catholic, and the mortality of infants in each county in Switzerland. So we're going to clear
all this and that has set we're going to use
is called empty cars. So first we're
gonna use a package called DT to create
an interactive table. First, we need to
download this package. We are going to the tab
package and then install. And we are entering DT. Dt is the first option here. That's the name of the package. And we're clicking on Install. So here you have
install.packages. D t is the command. Now DT is installed, we need to load it. So the easiest way is
to go here type D T, and click the check mark here. Alternatively, you can use the command library d t to
load the packages in memory. So now you're going to
use the functions that are within the library within the R package to create an interactive table
function we're going to use, it's called data table. Data table. And then we're going to
pass the first argument, which is the data set
will want to work with. So the data set we are
using is empty cars. And we'll press Enter. Here in one line of code, we have a nice interactive table here with different options. We can show several entries of the several options,
102550100 entries. We can search for a certain
car brand if we want. Here, you have an interactive
pagination option. And of course this
function as many, many different
options that you can change that better
suit your needs. D. D is a package that is used a lot when creating shiny
applications, e.g. or web applications
using the shiny package. And what you can do to look at all the options
that are possible. You go to Google, type
in our package d t. And then the first link will
bring you to the website. That's gonna give you
all the options and functions available
within the package. So now I'm going
back to RStudio. I'm going to click on the
broom here to the console. And then we're going
to use another package called high charter. A charter is a package that is using a JavaScript library. And we're gonna go to package, we're going to click on Install. And then high charter. So hi charter has
been installed. We are going to load
it now to be able to use the different functions. Okay, so now high charter at the package is
loaded and we can use the functions to create
different types of charts. So we're going to use the
function h chart here to create a new interactive
graph in one line of code. So here's the line of code here. The function is H chart and the first argument
is empty cars. Empty cars is the data set
that we'll want to use. Then the second argument is the type of
plot that we want. Again, we can go on
the Internet and typing R package high charter. There's gonna be
a website that is dedicated to the heart charter
package where you can see the different options and different arguments of the different functions
that are available. The second argument
here is that the type of plots that you want here
we want a scatter plots. And this line here is
saying on the x-axis, I want the weight and on the y-axis I want the
miles per gallon. And on the z-axis, I want the GRAT variable and all the colors
are going to be depending on the variable HP. And we have an interactive
graph here that is displayed with the
high charter package. So again, the height
shoulder package is using a JavaScript library and we
are able to create beautiful, I think, really beautiful
plots with this package. And I like it a lot, even if sometimes
it can be difficult to understand how it works, but the rendition is amazing. So that is our second package we can use to create
interactive plots. Now we're going to use
another package to create an interactive map. The third package
we're going to use it is called leaflet. So let's install it. Leaf. Let. Leaflet is used to
create beautiful maps, especially if you are creating
a R Shiny application. So you click on leaflet
and then click on Install. So it's installing the
leaflet packet right now. And then I went on this
website, lat long dotnet, and I typed in my CD,
Huntsville, Alabama. I wanted to know
what's the longitude, the latitude of the city, because that's what
we're going to use to create our map here. So now the lifted
package is installed. We are going to load it. Light. Here. We're going to click
on this checkbox. Solely flight is installed. We're going to make
some room here. And here we're going to
use the function leaflet. And then we're
going to say, Hey, I want to use some tiles. And then we're going to
set the view to here. We put longitude and
latitude and Zoom at 12%. So again, to do that, we just go to Google and
you type R package leaflet. It will bring you to the
website where you can see all the possible
options that you can use with Leaflet package. So if I press Enter, I have a map of my
town here in Alabama. And as you can see
here, it's interactive. I can zoom in, zoom out drug and drug,
my-map, et cetera. So this was three
little lines of code that you can use to
create an interactive table, an interactive map, and
an interactive graph. Again, if you want to know
all the different options and how you can change
the different options. You can just go to
Google and type in R package and the
name of the package. And it will bring
you to the website with all the options
that are available. So that is it for this video. The next video is going
to be an activity that you're gonna do on your
RStudio Cloud instance.
8. Practice Activity: So this is a practice activity for the horse to do course, getting started with RStudio. In this practice activity, you're going to perform
the following three tasks. First, on RStudio Desktop
or RStudio Cloud, if you created an account, go change the theme to
modern tomorrow night '80s with a courier
font with 12 sides. Second task, install and load the package tidyverse through
the RStudio interface. Third task, install, load and
use the package d t to show an interactive table
of the data set called iris that is already
pre-installed with R. So you don't have to install
or get this dataset iris. It's already pre-installed
when RStudio starts. So again, just like
with the quiz, pause the video now
performed the three tasks, and then you can come back here and I will give you the answers. So first, change the theme to modern tomorrow 1980s with the Courier font with size 12th. Once you are in RStudio
Desktop or Cloud, you go to Tools and you
click on Global Options. Then in the tab, appearance under osteo theme, choose modern, under font, choose Courier, font size, choose 12, and
under editor theme, choose tomorrow night
AB's second task, install and load the
package tidyverse through the RStudio interface. When you are in the RStudio IDE, you have four panes. And usually at the
top right corner of the screen you have
this tab called packages. Click on package. And then there's gonna be
a button called Install. You click on install windows
going to pop up to install. And under Packages,
you type in tidyverse. Then you click on Install. Once it's installed,
you need to load it. And to load it, you
just need to find the package tidyverse and
you click on the check mark, then you can use
all the functions available in the tidy verse. Third task is to install, load and use the
package d t to show you the interactive table of
the data set called iris, that it's already pre-installed
with R. So again, just like the previous task, you go to packages and install, and then you type in d t
and you click on install. Then of course, after the install you need
to load the package. So find the package
and you click on the check mark to
load the package. Finally, under the console, usually it's on the top
right of your screen. You have the console and you can use the function data table from the package d t so
that our table iris. You press Enter and you have an interactive table under the viewer of the dataset iris.
9. Closing Remarks and Next Steps: So this is the end
of part one in this series of getting
started with RStudio. And this first part we learned
about RStudio Cloud and how you can use the
different options to configure your account. And part two is about
how to import data into RStudio to work with programming language R. And
then on the third part, you're going to learn how to use R packages to
transform data into R, to get from messy data
into a clean data. And you can find all these links below in the description
of the course. Thank you very much. This is the end of part two in this series on getting
started with RStudio. You just learned how to import
data into R. With RStudio, especially the RStudio
Cloud accounts that you created in part one. And if you haven't
followed the part one of our studio course, I encourage you to go and look at the
videos and practice. And the third part here
is going to be about transforming data with RStudio. And again, you can find all these links to these videos within
Skill Share under the, under the description
for this course. Thank you very much. Welcome to part three of this series on getting started with RStudio. So the first part
of the series was about RStudio Cloud and how you can use different options to configure your Cloud account. The second part was all
about in polling data. And this one is about
how to clean and transform data into RStudio. So as you can see here, there are eight lessons. The first lesson, first video, is about how to select
groups of observations. So we are going to look at several functions
and we're going to learn different functions from especially the
deep layer package or the tidyverse package. Then video 2.3 or two parts, really two videos on how to transform a messy
data to clean data. First of all, I'm
going to define what constitutes a messy dataset
and how to clean it. So two videos, and of course, to clean a dataset, you are going to have missing
values or null values. So it's important to
know how to handle missing values in R. That is
the object of this video. The next video is how to split and combine different cells. So it's using some functions to split and combines
string data. The video here is
how to combine or join or gather different tables. So it's the equivalent
of the inner join, the left or the right or
the full outer join in. And finally, you're going to have to practice video to build your confidence in cleaning and transforming data into RStudio. Of course, at the end, you're going to have a project
and the description of the project is under
this video here, under the project section. So I propose that we
just dive right in and learn how to clean and
transform data within RStudio. This is the end of part
three of this series, Getting Started with RStudio, this particular video course was about cleaning and transforming
data into RStudio. If you mess to the two
previous video courses, the first one is
on RStudio Cloud. I had to set it up and use all the options to configure
your Cloud account. And part two was how to import all sorts
of data into RStudio. You can look under this
video and you can find links to this previous
video courses on getting started with RStudio. And I hope you enjoy the
course and the series on getting started with our
studio. Thank you very much.
