Session 3 (“Intermediate”)

In this session, we will:

  1. Finish going through the ‘essential data manipulation techniques’ from Session 2, including grouping (group_by) and summarising (summarise) data frames, and using if_else and case_when to recode.

  2. Introduction the popular ggplot2 package for plotting and visualisation.

  3. Work through a mini project, applying the skills learnt so far to a real-world dataset.
