Pipelines for Data Science
Details
Welcome to our talk with Chief Scientist Hadley Wickham (http://hadley.nz/) of RStudio.
Abstract:
To do data science you need five sets of verbs: import, tidy, transform, visualise, and model. Importantly, you also need a way to connect these tools together so that your analysis flows from one step to another, without you beating your head against the wall. In this talk, I discuss the idea of the pipe as it is implemented R with the magrittr package. You'll learn why the pipe makes your code easier to read, and see how it provides a unifying interface throughout your complete workflow.
Come along to learn about why I think pipelines are awesome and see how pipelines + tidyr, dplyr, ggplot2, and purrr can make your data analyses fast, fluent and fun.
