In this book, you will find a practicum of skills for data science. Just as a chemist learns how to clean test tubes and stock a lab, you’ll learn how to clean data and draw plots—and many other things besides. These are the skills that allow data science to happen, and here you will find the best practices for doing each of these things with R.

You’ll also learn how to manage cognitive resources to facilitate discoveries when wrangling, visualising, and exploring data.
