Working with text in R In-Person / Online
Overview: R is mostly known for its statistical methods on numbers. However, it is also capable of working efficiently with text and analysing it. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into how to work with text in R and introduce you to functions that allow you to even do text mining.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to
· manipulate strings efficiently
· import text from multiple sources
· lay the basis for working with regular expressions (regex)
· do some text mining with the tidytext package
Prerequisite: basic understanding of R, e.g. through the CDSI workshop "Introduction to data science with R".
