Exploring Data

There are three common functions that are really good for exploring data:

• The head() function which lets you look at the first few rows of the data-set

   head(dataset_name)
  

• The tail() function which lets you look at the last few rows of the data-set

   tail(dataset_name)
  

• The names() function which lets you look at the names of the columns of the data-set

   names(dataset_name)
  

• The View() function which allows you to view the entire data-set in a separate window

   View(dataset_name)
