Overview

This week we will be learning more about factors and joins, how to fine-tune our plots, and taking an overview of what an analysis project in R might look like Learning Outcomes

By the end of the week you will be able to:

  1. Explain the difference between the data types factor and character

  2. Join two datasets together using various joins

  3. Carry out fine-tuning of your plots using functions in ggplot2

  4. Demonstrate the steps required to start analysing and reporting on your own data

Structure of this week’s materials

  1. Wrangling factors and joins: 1 reading with code samples

  2. Fine-tuning plots: 1 reading, 1 practice

  3. Roundup and recap: 1 reading with code samples
