Finding and loading data into R (CC159)

November 1, 2021 • PD Schloss • 1 min read • •

I would like to compare the percent of people who said they would receive the COVID-19 vaccine in 2020 to those who actually did it in 2021. How would you go about finding and loading that data into R? Check out this episode where I show how I went about finding current vaccination rates and can load the data automatically in R. We’ll use read_csv/read_tsv to load data from a file and directly from a web address or URL.

In this episode, Pat uses read_csv and read_tsv from the readr R package in Rstudio.
