Chapter 6 Tidy data
The ‘Tidyverse’ is a collection of R packages designed for data science. See tidyverse.org/packages/ for an up-to-date list of included packages. Beside these core packages, a lot of other packages base on the same philosopy, e.g. ‘tidyverts’ - a collection of tidy tools for time series.
What’s so special about that? Well, all packages have the same design philosophy, grammar and data structures. This means that once the data is in this data structure, it is relatively easy and straightforward to perform analysis and visualization.
