Data analysis often requires performing a series of complex transformations. R makes this hassle-free via the forward pipe operator for chaining operations, data selection and filtering based on conditional operations, and grouping and aggregating options to compute summaries. Learn how to carry out all these operations in this course. Task you'll carry out include using logical and relational operators to perform conditional filtering, sampling records at random, and computing the top N records based on values in a variable. You'll also learn to use the forward pipe operator in the magrittr package and tibbles, the next-generation data frame, to store and transform your data. You'll round this course off by performing ordering, grouping, and aggregations on your data. When you're finished, you'll have a solid grasp of complex operations on data frames and be able to apply these concepts using the R programming language.
