Data Handling

This document provides summaries of various R functions related to data import/export, manipulation, and analysis. It tests knowledge of functions like tapply, sapply, apply, read.csv, write.csv, dim, head, glimpse, dplyr verbs, and joins. Highlights include that tapply computes functions on subsets of a vector defined by factors, sapply is similar to lapply but simplifies the list output, and apply works over array margins.
