In ashrithssreddy/dataframeexplorer: Familiarity with Dataframes Before Data Manipulation

dataframeexplorer

A toolkit to simplify data exploration and preparation in R, enabling quicker insights and reducing time spent on tedious data manipulations.

Features

• Identify constant columns to prevent redundant computations.
• Detect duplicate columns to streamline datasets.
• Generate frequency tables for each column, with outputs in Excel format.
• Create a "glimpse" of your dataset for quick overview.
• Determine the primary key of your dataset for efficient data manipulation.
• Calculate percentiles for all numeric columns to understand data distribution.

Installation

To install the package from CRAN, use:

install.packages("dataframeexplorer")

Usage

Here are some common functions you can use with dataframeexplorer:

• Detect constant columns: R detect_const_cols(dataset)
• Find duplicate columns: R detect_dupl_cols(dataset)
• Generate a frequency table: R frequency_table(dataset, output_filename = "frequency_table.xlsx")
• Create a dataset glimpse: R glimpse_to_file(dataset, output_filename = "glimpse.txt")
• Determine primary key: R level_of_data(dataset, output_filename = "level.txt")
• Calculate percentiles: R percentiles_table(dataset, output_filename = "percentiles.xlsx")

Dependencies

• R (>= 3.3.0)
• Imports: tibble, data.table, magrittr, openxlsx, dplyr, plyr, tidyr, stringr
