Episode notes
Learn the Tidyverse
- Open-source projects like the Tidyverse are invaluable for data scientists and should be learned.
- Hadley Wickham's contributions have significantly impacted the data science field.
Cattle Breeding Databases
- Hadley Wickham's father applied relational database principles to cattle breeding data, ensuring each fact was recorded only once.
- This inspired Wickham's work on tidy data, focusing on consistency and avoiding redundancy.
Tidy Data Principles
- Tidy data is well-organized, like Legos, breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable pieces.
- This allows for experimentation and iteration towards a solution.
