QSS-inst-tidyverse

Instructors' public repository for Quantitative Social Science: An Introduction in tidyverse

This repository contains the original R Markdown (Rmd) and Quarto (qmd) files, and pdf slides (contained in pdf_slides folders) used for teaching the tidyverse syntax of R programming with QSS-tidyverse textbook at the University of Tokyo in 2022 Summer. Topics covered in each chapter are listed below and all materials are put together by the teaching assistants of QSS UTokyo 2022. Please feel free to use them for your teaching.

1. Introduction: introduction to tidyverse
2. Causality: dplyr, tidyr and the magrittr pipe operator
3. Measurement: ggplot2 and tidymodels
4. Prediction: stringr, lubridate, tidyr, broom and modelr
5. Probability: column-wise operations with dyplr, writing mathematics (LaTeX) and inline codes in R Markdown
6. Uncertainty: purrr, data types in R, code style, for loops, functionals and review of tidyverse
