The tidyverse is a collection of open source packages for the R programming language introduced by Hadley Wickham[1] and his team that "share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures" of tidy data.[2] Characteristic features of tidyverse packages include extensive use of non-standard evaluation and encouraging piping.[3][4][5]

As of November 2018, the tidyverse package and some of its individual packages comprise 5 out of the top 10 most downloaded R packages.[6] The tidyverse is the subject of multiple books and papers.[7][8][9][10] In 2019, the ecosystem has been published in the Journal of Open Source Software.[11]

Its syntax has been referred to as "supremely readable",[12] and some[13] have argued that tidyverse is a very effective way to introduce complete beginners to programming, as pedagogically it allows students to quickly begin doing powerful data processing tasks.[14][13] Further to this, some practitioners have pointed out that data processing tasks are intuitively much easier to chain together with tidyverse compared to Python Pandas.[15] There is also an active R community around the tidyverse, including the weekly TidyTuesday social data project organised by DSLC,[16] where varied datasets are released each week for the community to participate, share, practice, and make learning to work with data easier, by providing real-world datasets.[17] Critics of the tidyverse have argued it promotes tools that are harder to teach and learn than their base-R equivalents and are too dissimilar to some programming languages.[18][19]

The tidyverse principles more generally encourage and help ensure that a universe of streamlined packages, in principle, will help alleviate dependency issues and compatibility with current and future features.[20] An example of such a tidyverse principled approach is the pharmaverse.[21]

Packages

[edit]

The core tidyverse packages, which provide functionality to model, transform, and visualize data, include:[22]

Additional packages assist the core collection.[23] Other packages based on the tidy data principles are regularly developed, such as tidytext[24] for text analysis, tidymodels[25] for machine learning, or tidyquant[26] for financial operations.
