The tidyverse is an opinionated collection of R packages designed for data science. All packages share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures.

An organization that loses 200 high-performing employees per year has a lost productivity cost of about $15M/year. A consistent, simple and easy to use set of wrappers around the fantastic stringi package. All function and argument names (and positions) are consistent, all functions deal with 'NA's and zero length vectors in the same way, and the output from one function is easy to feed into the input of another.

R’s tidyverse is built around tidy data stored in tibbles, which are enhanced data frames. The front side of this sheet shows how to read text files into R with readr. The reverse side shows how to create tibbles with tibble and to layout tidy data with tidyr. Save Data Data Import:: CHEAT SHEET Read Tabular Data.

The tidymodels package is now on CRAN. Similar to its sister package tidyverse, it can be used to install and load tidyverse packages related to modeling and analysis. Currently, it installs and attaches broom, dplyr, ggplot2, infer, purrr, recipes, rsample, tibble, and yardstick.

tidymodels also contains a burgeoning list of tagged packages. These can be used to install sets of packages for specific purposes. For example, if you are in need of additional tidy tools for analyzing text data:

These tags will be updated with each version of tidymodels as new packages are released.

The number of tidyverse modeling package continues to grow. Some packages on the development horizon include:

  • parsnip: a unified interface to models. This should significantly reduce the amount of syntactical minutia that you’ll need to memorize by having one standardized model function across different packages and by harmonizing the parameter names across models.

  • dials: tools for tuning parameters. dials contains objects and methods for creating and validating tuning parameter values as well as grid search tools. This is designed to work seamlessly with parsnip.

  • embed: an add-on package for recipes. This can be used to efficiently encode high-cardinality categorical predictors using supervised methods such as likelihood encodings and entity embeddings.

  • modelgenerics: a developer-related tool. This lightweight package can help reduce package dependencies by providing a set of generic methods for classes which are used across packages. For example, if you are creating a new tidy method for your model, this package can be used instead of broom (and its dependencies).

Keep an eye on the tidymodels organization page for up-to-date information.

Usage

readr is part of the core tidyverse, so load it with:

To accurately read a rectangular dataset with readr you combine two pieces: a function that parses the overall file, and a column specification. The column specification describes how each column should be converted from a character vector to the most appropriate data type, and in most cases it’s not necessary because readr will guess it for you automatically.

readr supports seven file formats with seven read_ functions:

  • read_csv(): comma separated (CSV) files
  • read_tsv(): tab separated files
  • read_delim(): general delimited files
  • read_fwf(): fixed width files
  • read_table(): tabular files where columns are separated by white-space.
  • read_log(): web log files

In many cases, these functions will just work: you supply the path to a file and you get a tibble back. The following example loads a sample file bundled with readr:

Note that readr prints the column specification. This is useful because it allows you to check that the columns have been read in as you expect, and if they haven’t, you can easily copy and paste into a new call:

vignette('readr') gives more detail on how readr guesses the column types, how you can override the defaults, and provides some useful tools for debugging parsing problems.
