Companion Data for the book The Data Preparation Journey: Finding Your Way With R

• The book is published with CRC Press as part of The Data Science Series.

• The web edition of the current version of the book is available here

Installation

To download and install the {dpjr} package, you will need the {remotes} package:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("monkmanmh/dpjr")

Once you have {dpjr} installed, load it using the library() function:

library(dpjr)

Usage

There are two groups of datasets in the package: pre-rendered? tables, and raw files.

Raw data files

The convenience function dpjr_data() generates the path to the raw data file, independent of the specific location on the user’s computer.

For example, to read the CSV file “mpg.csv”:

df_mtcars <- read.csv(dpjr::dpjr_data("mpg.csv"))

An alternative to this approach is to access files using the system.file() function.

Example:

system.file("extdata", package = "dpjr")

system.file("extdata", "mpg.csv", package = "dpjr")

read.csv(system.file("extdata", "mpg.csv", package = "dpjr"))

Data files

A list of the the raw data files can be found in the vignette “Data list”.
