Data frames in R - Transforming data PART I

How to filter, mutate, and summarize a data frame in R using the dplyr package.

The filter() function does what we think it does: subsets a data frame according to a set of criteria. It works like this: we pass the data, and then the expression according to which we want or data filtered. There can be more than 1 criteria, of course. Filter() also works with logical operators.

The select() function narrows down the data frame to the information you specifically want and need to see. Select() works nicely with a couple of nifty functions like starts_with(), or ends_with(), which let us subset data in a super intuitive way.

Mutate() is dplyr’s easy way of creating new variables from variables that already exist in the data frame. For example, if you have height and mass information, you can create a BMI variable.

If mutate() is the function to use when you want to add a column to your data frame while also retaining all the other columns in your data frame, then transmute() is what you will opt for if you only want to keep the new variable you create.
