Cleaning data with R

This repository holds all data and code used as part of the EcoLunch chat titled "Cleaning data with R" at the University of Nevada, Reno which took place in 02/16/2024. The structure of the repository is as follows:

• The files ecolunch_vignette.Rmd and ecolunch_vignette.html contain a vignette with a walkthrough example of all the functions disucussed during the EcoLunch. For optimal viewing, I recommend downloading the .html and openning in a browser. To access the code, I recommend downloading the .Rmd and opening it in Rstudio.
• The folder data contains:
  • The script generate_mock_datasets.R, which has code to generate the forest_data.RData and lake_data.RData datasets.
  • The forest_data.RData data set, a simulated dataset containing information on the tree height over a 100 year sequence (rows) for 5 different forests (columns).
  • The lake_data.RData data set, a simulated dataset containing information on the nitrogen and chlorine concentrations of 3 lakes over 100 days.
  • The lizards.RData data set, an example of a real-world data set obtained in a mark-recapture study of lizards.
