Tidyverse

The tidyverse is a collection of open source R packages introduced by Hadley Wickham[1] and his team that "share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures" of tidy data.[2] Characteristic features of tidyverse packages include extensive use of non-standard evaluation and encouraging piping.[3][4][5]

As of November 2018, the tidyverse package and some of its individual packages comprise 5 out of the top 10 most downloaded R packages.[6] The tidyverse is the subject of multiple books and papers.[7][8][9][10] In 2019, the ecosystem has been published in the Journal of Open Source Software.[11]

Critics of the tidyverse have argued it promotes tools that are harder to teach and learn than their base-R equivalents and are too dis-similar to other programming languages.[12][13]

Packages

The core packages, which provide functionality to model, transform, and visualize data, include:[14]

  • ggplot2
  • dplyr
  • tidyr
  • readr
  • purrr
  • tibble
  • stringr
  • forcats

An additional 12 packages assist the core.[15]
