Data cleaning refers to the process of transforming raw data into data that is suitable for analysis or

model-building.

In most cases, “cleaning” a dataset involves dealing with missing values and duplicated data.

1.Example 1: Remove Rows with Missing Values

library(dplyr)

#remove rows with missing values

new_df <- df %>% na.omit()

#view new data frame

new_df

2.Example 2: Replace Missing Values with Another Value

library(dplyr)

library(tidyr)

#replace missing values in each numeric column with median value of column

new_df <-df %>% mutate(across(where(is.numeric),~replace_na(.,median(.,na.rm=TRUE))))

#view new data frame

new_df

3.Example 3: Remove Duplicate Rows

We can use the following syntax to replace any missing values with the median value of each column:

library(dplyr)
#remove duplicate rows

new_df <- df %>% distinct(.keep_all=TRUE)

#view new data frame

new_df
