Key Concepts Learned
- [Basic Commands in R, what they do, and some grammar on them]
- [-Tidyverse which uses tibbles instead of tables and is cleaner
-Group by and summarize go together very well, group by one column and then summarize the data in another column after selecting the groups using the first column. -%>% to pipe code together]
Coding Techniques
- select() - choose columns • filter() - choose rows • mutate() - create new variables • summarize() - calculate statistics • group_by() - operate on groups
Questions & Challenges
- [What I didn’t fully understand]
- [I need more practice with the github interface.]
Connections to Policy
- [We will use these technical concepts to manipulate data, and those inferences will be connected to policy content.]
Reflection
- [Most interesting was learning how the github portfolio website operates, and how we can periodically change it.]
- [I assume that as the semester progresses we will use this website to display our body of work]
