Explore your data using R programming

The video tutorial covers the importance of understanding data before analysis, focusing on data exploration using R and the Tidyverse package. It introduces the Star Wars dataset as a practical example, demonstrating functions like dim, STR, and glimpse to explore data structure. The tutorial also addresses handling missing data and analyzing numeric variables using summary statistics and visualizations like box plots and histograms.
