{poorman}

I’d seen my father. He was a poor man, and I watched him do astonishing things. - Sidney Poitier

Overview

{poorman} is a grammar of data manipulation, providing dependency free versions of {dplyr} verbs that help you solve the most common data manipulation challenges:

• select() picks variables based on their names.
• mutate() adds new variables that are functions of existing variables.
• filter() picks cases based on their values.
• summarise() reduces multiple values down to a single summary.
• arrange() changes the ordering of the rows.

{poorman} attempts to replicate the {dplyr} API exactly such that your {dplyr} code will still run even if you use {poorman} in its place. In addition to replicating {dplyr} functionality, {poorman} implements other functionality from the wider {tidyverse} such as select helpers and the pipe, %>%.

For more details on the functionality available within {poorman}, check out the {poorman} series of blog posts here.

  filter(mpg > 28)

• {dplyr}
• {bplyr} - imports {magrittr} and {rlang}; it prepends functions with b_*(), e.g. b_select().
• {tbltools} - imports {magrittr} and appends *_data() to each of its functions, e.g. select_data().
