Develop core competencies

[achafetz]

Here are the core competencies as I see them:

1. principles of tidy data
2. reproducibility/transparency
3. workflow basics
4. data visualizing (basics)
5. data tranformation (filtering, selecting, mutating)
6. conditions - if/ifelse statements
7. summarizing data
8. reshaping data
9. merging datasets
10. iterating
11. working with string data
12. importing/exporting/data formats

I would just add something (or include this inside one of the above (#7)) something about exploring data; ie being able to tabulate different subsets of results based on conditions. Like tab var1 var1 if var3==x in stata

We're meeting in the North America room at 10am today (Apr 10) to discuss.
