Expressway to Data Science: R Programming and Tidyverse

University of Colorado Boulder

R is a fundamental language for data scientists, and this specialization provides a thorough understanding of R programming and tidyverse. It covers essential skills such as importing, tidying, and joining data, as well as crafting clear visualizations using the ggplot2 library. The capstone project allows learners to apply their knowledge to import, clean, and analyze data using R programming.

Throughout the three-course journey, participants will review programming fundamentals in R, understand the importance of reproducible research, and learn to use RMarkdown to share documents. The modules delve into identifying and transforming tidy data, analyzing data between multiple related data tables, and applying regular expressions to detect patterns in strings. By the end of the specialization, learners will be well-equipped to embark on a data science journey using R, making it an essential prerequisite for CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science.

  • Install R and configure RStudio
  • Use the tidyverse to import, tidy, and join data
  • Create clear and effective data visualizations using the ggplot2 library
  • Develop and communicate reproducible research using RMarkdown
