Working with lubridate

Summary

This repository provides materials for a session that is part of the I2DS Tools for Data Science workshop run at the Hertie School, Berlin in October 2023. The student-run workshop is part of the course Introduction to Data Science taught by Simon Munzert at the Hertie School, Berlin, in Fall 2023.

Session contents

This session will introduce you to the modern data wrangling workflow with R and lubridate. Time and date data are fundamental in data analysis, and their proper management is crucial for drawing meaningful insights from data. In the R programming language, lubridate is a powerful package that simplifies time and date manipulation.

Main learning objectives

The primary objectives of this session are to (1) provide you with a conceptual understanding of the lubridate package and its capabilities in date-time manipulation, (2) introduce you to key lubridate functions, and (3) provide you with practice material as well as some further readings.
