TechConference 2021: Intro to Data Science with R

Intro to Data Science with R

This GitHub repository contains the R code for the "TechConference 2021: Intro to Data Science with R" impulse session.

We will explore this Kaggle dataset of worldwide UFO sightings!

[The] dataset contains over 80,000 reports of UFO sightings over the last century.

We will add another Kaggle dataset of US international air traffic to our data exploration.

• If you're interested in exploring the data, please find the two datasets in the 01_data folder.

• If you get stuck exploring the data yourself or need some inspiration for tackling the data, feel free to look at the solution R script in the 02_scripts folder.
