Hey all,
Could someone help me get started on working with an unfamiliar data structure? I have time-dependent data for which I need to factorize samples and groups, but I don't know how to get started. I'm not far enough to have a reprex, but this is the basic format of my data. Does it need tidying or can I work with it as is?
I appreciate any code jumpstarts!
is that a spreadsheet ?
get rid of the top row.
and change the animal names to reflect the groups
animal_1_1, animal_2_1,animal_3_2,animal_4_2
then load that to R
Thanks @nirgrahamuk . Where I'm stuck is grouping the animals into a factor to call on it in ggplot, because it's across a row, and I've only ever called columns as factors. Also providing a factor name to the variable im graphing itself (cell index) which in tidier data I'm also used to having grouped in a column. Not sure if I should modify the formatting (unpreferable)
The next step I think is to use tidyr::pivot_longer()
