Free R (programming language) software
One of the core packages of the tidyverse in the R programming language, dplyr is primarily a set of functions designed to enable dataframe manipulation in an intuitive, user-friendly way. Data analysts typically use dplyr in order to transform existing datasets into a format better suited for some particular type of analysis, or data visualization. For instance, someone seeking to analyze an enormous dataset may wish to only view a smaller subset of the data. Alternatively, a user may wish to rearrange the data in order to see the rows ranked by some numerical value, or even based on a combination of values from the original dataset. Authored primarily by Hadley Wickham, dplyr was launched in 2014. On the dplyr web page, the package is described as "a grammar of data manipulation, providing a consistent set of verbs that help you solve the most common data manipulation challenges." (Wikipedia).
The group_by function in dplyr lets use other functions like summarize and mutate on subgroups within a data frame rather than operating on entire columns all at once. This is useful for generating statistics and creating new variables according to the levels of categorical variables. Lin

Feature Engineering | Introduction to dplyr Part 4
In the final tutorial of the dplyr series, we will cover ways to do feature engineering both with dplyr (“mutate” and “transmute”) and base R (“ifelse”). You’ll learn how to impute missing values as well as create new values based on existing columns. In addition, we’ll go over four differ

The summarize (aka summarise) function in dplyr lets you create summary statistics from the columns of a data frame. When run on an ungrouped data frame, a summary of a column should be a single value like the mean, median, mode, etc. We will learn how to generate summary statistics on sub

Joins let you combine two data tables together based on a shared column that uniquely identifies the records, also known as a key column. When your data is spread out across multiple tables, you may need to perform one or more joins to get it all into one big table before doing other data

Reshape, Subset, and Summarize Data | Introduction to dplyr Part 2
We cover some basic functions of dplyr including the mighty group_by and summarize combo that makes dividing up datasets a breeze, as well as arrange, select, and filter that help get the data in a cleaner and more organized format. Group-by aggregation is one of the most powerful, yet sim
