CRAN Recipes
Apress (Verlag)
978-1-4842-6875-9 (ISBN)
CRAN Recipes recognizes how needless jargon and complexity get in your way. Busy professionals need simple examples and intuitive descriptions; side trips and meandering philosophical discussions are left for other books.
Here R scripts are condensed, to the extent possible, to copy-paste-run format. Chapters and examples are structured to purpose rather than particular functions (e.g., “dirty data cleanup” rather than the R package name “janitor”). Everyday language eliminatesthe need to know functions/packages in advance.

Manipulate data using DPLYR: filter, sort, summarize, add new fields to datasets, and apply powerful IF functions
