NSC-R Tidy Tuesday

Improve your R skills in entertaining, inspiring and supportive sessions moderated by your own colleagues.

The NSC-R Tidy Tuesday workshop sessions are inspired by the Tidy Tuesday initiative, which was aimed at providing a safe and supportive forum for individuals to practice their data processing and visualization skills in R while working with real-world data.

The dataset for this Tidy Tuesday is about board games! Asier Moneva explores the following research questions: “What are the top 3 best-selling board games by game type?” and “How do board game sales relate to online user ratings?” Feel free to explore these questions yourselves and share your experience with us.

Materials

• The R script that Asier worked through is in this Github repository.
• The Tidy Data paper (pre-print) by Hardley Wickham (2014) is here.
