janitor
Description
janitor has simple little tools for examining and cleaning dirty data.
Main functions
The main janitor functions can: perfectly format ugly data.frame
column names; isolate
duplicate records for further study; and provide quick one- and two-variable tabulations
(i.e., frequency tables and crosstabs) that improve on the base R function table()
.
Other functions in the package can format for reporting the results of these tabulations. These tabulate-and-report functions approximate popular features of SPSS and Microsoft Excel.
Package context
This package follows the principles of the "tidyverse" and in particular works well with
the %>%
pipe function.
janitor was built with beginning-to-intermediate R users in mind and is optimized for user-friendliness. Advanced users can already do everything covered here, but they can do it faster with janitor and save their thinking for more fun tasks.
