Hi everyone, welcome back. Are you new to the R programming language or wanting to learn the R programming language? You may have heard of Tidyverse or heard of libraries that are included within Tidyverse.
Libraries
Let’s understand what a library is first. A software library is a set of files already written by a third party so you can use. No need to write new code if it already exists. No need to reinvent the wheel. Tidyverse is a collection of R libraries which focuses towards data science.
R Programming Language
R has been known to be a language used for statistics. R is used for data science because of its uses to handle large datasets. R is good when needing to handle statistical operations and it is a relatively easier language to learn. R has multiple libraries, many of which are within Tidyverse, that can be used for data science purposes.
Data Science
Data science is a field in which knowledge of data is used to solve problems or improve results. Data science uses statistics and analytics to examine and study a dataset. New discoveries from studying the data can allow actions to be taken to solve problems and improve results. Topics such as data mining, data visualization, and machine learning are all related to data…
