tidyverse
Overview
The tidyverse is a set of packages that work in harmony because they
share common data representations and API design. The tidyverse
package is designed to make it easy to install and load core packages
from the tidyverse in a single command.
If you’d like to learn how to use the tidyverse effectively, the best
place to start is R for data science.
Installation
# Install from CRAN
install.packages("tidyverse")
# Or the development version from GitHub
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tidyverse/tidyverse")
Usage
library(tidyverse) will load the core tidyverse packages:
- ggplot2, for data visualisation.
- dplyr, for data manipulation.
- tidyr, for data tidying.
- readr, for data import.
- purrr, for functional programming.
- tibble, for tibbles, a modern
re-imagining of data frames. - stringr, for strings.
- forcats, for factors.
You also get a condensed summary of conflicts with other packages you
have loaded:
library(tidyverse)
#> ── Attaching packages ────────────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse 1.2.1.9000 ──
#> ✓ ggplot2 3.2.1 ✓ purrr 0.3.3
#> ✓ tibble 2.1.3 ✓ dplyr 0.8.3
#> ✓ tidyr 1.0.0.9000 ✓ stringr 1.4.0
#> ✓ readr 1.3.1 ✓ forcats 0.4.0
#> ── Conflicts ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
#> x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
#> x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()
You can see conflicts created later with tidyverse_conflicts():
library(MASS)
#>
#> Attaching package: 'MASS'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:dplyr':
#>
#> select
tidyverse_conflicts()
#> ── Conflicts ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
#> x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
#> x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()
#> x MASS::select() masks dplyr::select()
And you can check that all tidyverse packages are up-to-date with
tidyverse_update():
tidyverse_update()
#> The following packages are out of date:
#> * broom (0.4.0 -> 0.4.1)
#> * DBI (0.4.1 -> 0.5)
#> * Rcpp (0.12.6 -> 0.12.7)
#> Update now?
#>
#> 1: Yes
#> 2: No
Packages
As well as the core tidyverse, installing this package also installs a
selection of other packages that you’re likely to use frequently, but
probably not in every analysis. This includes packages for:
-
Working with specific types of vectors:
-
Importing other types of data:
-
Modelling
