Tidyverse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tidyverse is a collection of open source R packages introduced by Hadley Wickham[1] and his team that "share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures" of tidy data.[2] Characteristic features of tidyverse packages include extensive use of non-standard evaluation[citation needed] and encouraging piping.[3][4]

The core packages are ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, readr, purrr, tibble, stringr, and forcats, which provide functionality to model, transform, and visualize data.[5] An additional 12 packages assist the core.[6] As of November 2018, the tidyverse package and some of its individual packages comprise 5 out of the top 10 most downloaded R packages.[7] The tidyverse is the subject of multiple books and papers.[8][9][10][11]

Critics of the tidyverse have argued it promotes tools that are harder to teach and learn than their base-R equivalents and are too dis-similar to other programming languages.[12][13]
