dplyr verbs:
group
R has an amazing set of libraries called the tidyverse. It contains a
set of packages that play well together. A core library in this set is
dplyr which contains verbs to help you analyse data. In this series
of videos we'll give a quick overview of them.
Notes
Once again we assume that you've got the dataframe set up appropriately.
library(tidyverse)
# This command makes sure that the chickweight dataframe is clean.
df <- ChickWeight %>% ungroup() %>% as.data.frame()
We see how we can combine verbs to query the data.
df %>%
filter(Time <= 10) %>%
group_by(Time, Diet) %>%
summarise(mean_weight = mean(weight), var_weight = var(weight), n = n())
