How to import data and install packages. R programming for beginners.

In this video I look at how to start a project in R, how to import data and how to install a package. Packages like tidyverse or DPLYR or ggplot extend your data analysis capabilities a lot! This video forms part of the R programming for beginners series in which we cover everything you need to know to get started using R. R can be used for data manipulation and statistical analysis. So if you're interested in data science, quantitative analysis or stats - get into R programming.

first of all, great video! your explanation is easy to understand and follow. second, can you link a download to the dataset you are using so i can practice the functions?

It was exciting at first to think I could troubleshoot my csv import issues with these videos, but it was not to be. The R community and gptChat have also not answered my question about why my files aren't importing but instead getting error messages. Seems like this import data video goes right past any possible problems viewers might have.

[@LeandroSouza-wu5py]

Amazing video!

[@RProgramming101]

Thanks!

[@WamboiSusan]

Great video

[@user-mp1zb2wc1c]

Hi, firstly a very detailed and beginner friendly video. A qq, how can I get the access to the .csv file mentioned on the video?

[@nomioye]

Sir! look once we have export the data into rstudio and turn into some function like in this tutorial you have made a my_data function, so if we update some data in the CSV file then the updated data will save automatically in the function or not?

[@ardykharabian3453]

Hello What about if we have several .csv files and want to import and create overlapped/overlaid lines with different colours in one plot?

[@hamzaamad3102]

hey buddy, I hope I learn R very soon. I am watching all of your vids 1 by 1.

[@RProgramming101]

WOW - thanks!!!

[@abhraneildam6255]

Could you please share the 'packages' files which you use?

[@deadly1317]

You should throw a link to the csv file in the video description, so we can follow along :)

[@princOSwat]

Let me first appreciate this amazing video about importing data to R. But there is a big confusion in the beginning of this video, and I spent more than a day to sort to out. This video is supposed to be for there beginners, and I am a beginner. I was looking for the Outline in my R studio and could not find it. I deleted and downloaded R and Rstudio many times but then I saw that I have to click R Script. Therefore, I suggest you to make this clear to the viewers how to use R Script and how to really start form trash. Thanks

[@maftunqodirov]

Thank you very much Sir for your wonderfool videos. Just wanted to ask if you could make a video on how to import data from Kobo Toolbox into R. It would be great since there is no video about this topic. Thank you.

where can we download this friends.csv to practise?

[@Pumkintale]

make your own in excel, like write the name of your friends or make up, gender, age, save the file as cvs and then work on it. I think that way ))

Yep its is simple one. Just create it directly in R: e.g. first make the vectors: Name

Hi, thank you very much for your video! We've been using mostly SPSS at uni, but I would love to switch to R - thanks to your videos as well, btw 🙂 But I would have to share my project with other people sometimes who are using SPSS... is it possible to export project to the spss? Thank you 🙂

[@RProgramming101]

Hi there - yes I think that it is possible. I haven't ever done it. I'll try to find out more and get back to you.

Hej I have a problem after the my_data %>% at 9,23 min i try writing in select but the program do not have that function and instead suggest 3 other function select.list, selectmethod and selectSuperClasses. I have also tried only write select and write in which column name i want to use and it also did not work. Do you know you i can't choose select and only get the other suggestions? Because right there i get stuck. also i use my own data from excel.file. I don't know if it is because it not a CSV-file as you do in the video. Please help from a confused beginner :S

[@GARVITIZATION]

It shows the same error in CSV file too. Did you find a solution?

[@6toolbaseball]

I've seen both library(tidyverse) and library("tidyverse") used..not sure if there is an official "correct" syntax here.
