Muddiest Points
joining datasets
Joining tables will take some more practice before it fully sticks for me.
Not unclear but nervous about joining tables with big datasets. But the GIFs are super helpful for illustrating the concept!
inner,left and right join functions
joining tables, specifically when to use which type of join, but I feel it will become more clear with practice.
how to know when to use “left” , “right” join etc.
I will put together some more examples next week, with larger datasets, so you can compare the different kinds of joins.
Which figures require long/short dataframes
still trying to figure out when to turn stuff into a factor. I think I sort of understand it but I’m not super confident.
They weren’t “unclear” but maybe more practice with pivot_longer, left_join, etc. would have been helpful
I will have more practice exercises for these.
Comment of the Week
I really did appreciate that!
