This course aims to better develop your statistical toolkit in the world of statistics and data science. You will learn how to collect, manipulate, and transform data in R into a more readily usable format using tidyverse data pipelines, primarily using verbs from the dplyr and tidyr packages. The topics covered provide you with the tools necessary to convert data to be better suited for data visualization (Course 1) and modeling; which is to come in this certificate program in a future course. Additionally, we discuss the topics of web scraping and the considerations one must take prior to scraping data from the web.


您将学到什么
Apply tidy data principles to manipulate and restructure data (e.g., subsetting, adding columns, and transforming data between wide and long formats)
Develop and implement code to join data sets and perform basic web scraping to collect data
Apply data structures such as wide and long formats, using code to convert between these formats as part of data preparation and analysis

Tidy datasets have a specific structure: each variable is a column, and each observation is a row. In this module, we use functional verbs from the dplyr package in R to transform data into a ready-to-use tidy data format. Additionally, we use functional verbs to manipulate data frames.

A column in our data set can be stored as many different types, such as numbers or characters. These different data types inform how R treats the data, and whether certain functions are compatible to use with certain types of data. In this module, we discuss more in detail, the different data types classified by R, data classes, as well as how to recode variables in a data set to be different types, classes, or take on different values.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
