Join us for an hour (or two) of shared, group hacking on the weekly Twitter phenomenon: #TidyTuesday.
Each week, the @R4DScommunity releases a new data set and data scientists across the globe practice wrangling, visualizing, and modeling data, sharing their results with the community using the #tidytuesday hashtag.
At this week's Tampa R Users Group Meetup, we'll work together in small groups or individually to create and share interesting visualizations using the TidyTuesday Anime dataset released on 2019-04-23.
🗓 7pm on Tuesday, April 23, 2019

The data set is about 95mb, so make sure you download the data before the meetup -- our meetup venue does have WiFi but it will definitely be easier to download in advance.
The TidyTuesday Anime dataset is hosted on the R4DScommunity GitHub page. You can download it from there or use our ready-made RStudio project.
If you'd like to have a ready-to-go RStudio project, you can create a new project from this repo. In RStudio, click File > New Project... and select Version Control. Then select Git and in the final screen enter the URL
https://github.com/tampausers/hacky-hour-april-2019
and choose where you would like to save the project.
You can download the data directly from the R4DScommunity GitHub page:
tidy_anime <- readr::read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2019/2019-04-23/tidy_anime.csv")The of the following information is copied from the R4DScommunity GitHub page, feel free to go there to get more information.
This week's data comes from Tam Nguyen and MyAnimeList.net via Kaggle. According to Wikipedia - "MyAnimeList, often abbreviated as MAL, is an anime and manga social networking and social cataloging application website. The site provides its users with a list-like system to organize and score anime and manga. It facilitates finding users who share similar tastes and provides a large database on anime and manga. The site claims to have 4.4 million anime and 775,000 manga entries. In 2015, the site received 120 million visitors a month."
Anime without rankings or popularity scores were excluded. Producers, genre, and studio were converted from lists to tidy observations, so there will be repetitions of shows with multiple producers, genres, etc. The raw data is also uploaded.
Lots of interesting ways to explore the data this week!
Heads up the dataset is about 97 mb - if you want to free up some space, drop the synopsis and background, they are long strings, or broadcast, premiered, related as they are redundant or less useful.
