The tidyverse is a collection of open source R packages that are useful for data scientists. With the packages loaded into projects, the common API design provides a coherent system, or toolbox, that makes it easy to perform common data science tasks such as importing, wrangling (tidying and manipulation), modeling data, presenting results, and programming. This task sheet will briefly introduce each of the core packages. For more information on the tidyverse, visit the official tidyverse website. Additional task sheets covering tidyverse packages include GISTP 0025 - Filtering and Selecting Data with dplyr, GISTP 0026 - Mutating and Piping Data with dplyr, and GISTP 0029 - Joining Spatial Data with dplyr.
