Footnotes

  1. Thanks to Zรฉlie, Rebecca, Rossana, Romane, Emma, Shivona, Maรซlle and others who tested, often with their patience, earlier versions of this workshop.โ†ฉ๏ธŽ

  2. The tidyverse is a collection of R packages designed for data science. All packages share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures. Install the complete tidyverse with: install.packages("tidyverse"). If you prefer base R code, suit yourself but I do not recommend it.โ†ฉ๏ธŽ
