Tidy Data
There are three interrelated rules which make a dataset tidy:
- Each variable must have its own column.
- Each observation must have its own row.
- Each value must have its own cell.
That interrelationship leads to an even simpler set of practical instructions:
- Put each dataset in a tibble.
- Put each variable in a column.
