πŸ¦… Session 4 (β€œAdvanced”)

In this final session, we will:

  1. Recap the key ideas from the ggplot2 slides and continue with the plotting practical.
  2. Work through a mini project on air pollution and respiratory disease β€” an open-ended practical practising data manipultion skills.
  3. Learn about efficient iteration with purrr and lists.
  4. Introduce programming with data frames, including across() and how to automate common tasks in dplyr and tidyr.

Our main live teaching time will focus on these core topics. Quarto and regular expressions are listed on the extra materials page in case we do not have time to cover them in full during the session.
