Overview

This repo contains the handout and practice data for the first of two R workshops for HackIowa at the University of Iowa.

Data

The data dir contains csv versions of the data provided by the R package nycflights13. There are 5 files that describe the flights from NYC area airports. The files are

• flights.csv - information about the flights, start/end times, dest and origin airports
• weather.csv - hourly weather observations at each of the airports
• airports.csv - information about the dest airports
• planes.csv - information by tail number for the planes that made the flights in flights.csv
• carriers.csv - more detail about the carrier based on the 2-letter carrier code

Handout

The .Rmd file is a R markdown file. This is a markdown file with embedded R code. We will use a tool called knitr to work this file inside R. It is similar to a Python notebook, if that is familar.

The .HTML file is the "knitted" version of the R markdown file.

The contents of the notes, examples and exercies were inspired/adapted from the book R for Data Science, which is free to read online and a wonderful resource for learning the tidyverse version of R.
