Overview
dplyr is a grammar of data manipulation, providing a consistent set of
verbs that help you solve the most common data manipulation challenges:
mutate() adds new variables that are functions of existing
variablesselect() picks variables based on their names.filter() picks cases based on their values.summarise() reduces multiple values down to a single summary.arrange() changes the ordering of the rows.
These all combine naturally with group_by() which allows you to
perform any operation “by group”. You can learn more about them in
vignette("dplyr"). As well as these single-table verbs, dplyr also
provides a variety of two-table verbs, which you can learn about in
vignette("two-table").
If you are new to dplyr, the best place to start is the data import
chapter in R for data science.
Backends
In addition to data frames/tibbles, dplyr makes working with other
computational backends accessible and efficient. Below is a list of
alternative backends:
-
dtplyr: for large, in-memory
datasets. Translates your dplyr code to high performance
data.table code.
-
dbplyr: for data stored in a
relational database. Translates your dplyr code to SQL.
-
sparklyr: for very large datasets
stored in Apache Spark.
Installation
# The easiest way to get dplyr is to install the whole tidyverse:
install.packages("tidyverse")
# Alternatively, install just dplyr:
install.packages("dplyr")
Development version
To get a bug fix, or use a feature from the development version, you can
install dplyr from GitHub.
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tidyverse/dplyr")
