Assignments
Data Wrangling (Individual)
See wk04_tidyr - Assignment (Individual).
Programming (Group)
- Write a function in R to do some data analysis or simulation that your group will find interesting (use this to start on your project)
- include at least two different data types
- return a list
- make sure you document your program
- Add this function to your organization’s github repository - Note this is how we will check to make sure you have completed the assignment - so make sure that you have committed and pushed your function to that organization’s repository.
