Simple plots with R by Joeri Jongbloets

[mgalland]

Description

In this lesson we repeat lesson #6, however this time we use R instead of Python. In short the lesson will teach you how to load data into R, how to manipulate the data and how to plot it.

We will use a powerful set of packages called tidyverse which includes all the basic packages you need for quick data loading, tidying, wrangling and plotting. In this lesson we will not discuss the basics of R language (but that will not stop us from using it).
