Tidying data in R with pivot_wider()

Let's learn how to use the pivot_wider() command from R's {dplyr} package to deal with observations that are spread across multiple rows of a data frame. Your life is about to get better!

Couldn't find the blocks dataset in the link?

[@EquitableEquations]

@@TheJq32 It's included in the GLMsData package. The script on GitHub includes code to access the set. Enjoy!

I spent hours stuck on a question for an assignment. I was completely in tears, and made a desperate pilgrimage to RUclips... and learned exactly how to do the thing in 5 minutes. THANK YOU!!!

[@EquitableEquations]

Yay! Glad it helped.

Thank you so much for this helpful video!! May I ask: After having converted the blocks dataframe into wide format: If i wanted to calculate the mean for time and for number of trial 1 and trial 2, how would that work?

[@EquitableEquations]

Hi! It's actually more natural to do those calculations before pivoting. Group_by() and summarize() are built for this!

Pivot_wider and _longer are in the tidyr package, not dplyr.

[@CanDoSo_org]

Thanks, Andrew. It would be more helpful if you can attach the data you used.

[@EquitableEquations]

Done.
