SUMMARY:Data Cleaning and Preprocessing using R
URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/4180779/data-cleaning-and-preprocessing-using-r/
DESCRIPTION:Learn basic programming in R through practical data pre-processing tasks. Participants will learn how to use R to import, inspect, clean, transform, summarize, reshape, and export messy datasets. The session will include guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises where attendees practice writing R code using common tools and packages. \n\nLearning outcomes:\n\n\- Introduction to R   \n\- Importing and inspecting data   \n\- Cleaning column names and fixing data types   \n\- Filtering, selecting, mutating, and summarizing data with dplyr   \n\- Handling missing values, duplicates, and inconsistent categories   \n\- Reshaping data with tidyr   \n\- Exporting cleaned data for analysis\n\nPrerequisites to participate in the hands-on exercises during the session:    \n1\. You will need to bring your own laptop  \n2\. Install R from https://cloud.r-project.org/  \n3\. Install RStudio from: https://docs.posit.co/ide/user/#rstudio-ide-oss-downloads  \n4\. For help with installation of R or RStudio drop in at virtual office hours using the link: https://rci.research.ucf.edu/resource/virtual-office-hours/\n\nPresented by [Satyar Foroughi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyarforoughi/)\nRegistration Link: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bILTFDYAZtB1hem
