By using a synthetic dataset, some simple <code>dplyr</code> commands, and a <code>shiny</code> dashboard, we teach graduate students how to explore their data and how to handle issues that can arise (missing values, differences in units). For this talk, we'll run through a simple EDA example (combining two weight loss datasets) with a general data explorer in <code>shiny</code> that can be easily customized to teach specific EDA concepts.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/portland-r-user-group/events/240846589/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
