R programming for beginners: Select, filter and fill functions within the tidyverse

Learning R couldn't be easier. In this video, Greg and Andrew walk you through some tips and tricks for R programming. This is an R programming for beginners videos. If you're wanting to do data wrangling or data manipulation using R then this is a good place to start.

Nice presentation. Thanks to both of you. I noticed that the location values are in a not-so-friendly format. There is a lat column which I presume is latitude and a longitude column. However, it looks like the values have been scrambled somehow since there is a longitude value (N) in the latitude column column and a latitude value (W) in the longitude column in row 9. Moreover, typically when working with latitude and longitude we use plus and minus rather than the usual cardinal directions (so latitude from -90 to +90 and longitude from -180 to +180).

This is great!!! One thing I’ve noticed is that the native pipe doesn’t support the. operator like the maggritr pipe does.

First, an excellent presentation by both of you.
Andrew, regarding your data set. It would appear that the latitudes and longitudes have been reversed in your data set (set 1a Lat 87.82, long 42.15, set 2a lat 42.15, long 87.49).
Data entry errors happen. Would there be a way of correcting this in R, or would you have to go back to the original data (*.csv, *.xlsx, etc) to correct this?

Hi, Gred and Andrew, Many thanks for your great tutorials. I got a question for you. How come {starwars %>%
filter(eye_color == c("blue", "yellow", "red"))} works but gets different results compared to {starwars %>%
filter(eye_color %in% c("blue", "yellow", "red"))}; while {msleep %>%
filter(name == c("Cow", "Dog", "Horse")) } does not work at all, only {msleep %>%
filter(name %in% c("Cow", "Dog", "Horse"))} works? I am a little confused.

. . . I wonder what the shortcut to the native pipe is on Mac?

Didn't know about the new pipe operator, it be looking sexy.

Hey Greg, what if I wanted to group the data first, and then fill the NAs with the mean or median, or mode of each group?

There is no CSV file Did not understand any thing
