Discussion Board 2

When working with data you must:

· Figure out what you want to do.

· Describe those tasks in the form of a computer program.

· Execute the program.

The dplyr package makes these steps fast and easy:

· By constraining your options, it helps you think about your data manipulation challenges.

· It provides simple “verbs”, functions that correspond to the most common data manipulation tasks, to help you translate your thoughts into code.

· It uses efficient backends, so you spend less time waiting for the computer.

Discuss your view on the necessity of each. Can you think of additional reasons? If so, please share.

Your initial response should be a minimum of two paragraphs and should be between 200 and 250 words. The font is Times New Roman, font size should be 12, and the paragraphs are single-spaced. There should be a minimum of one reference supporting your observations. Citations are to follow APA 6.0 or 7.0, but not both.
