Basic Data Loading and Transformation

Approach

For this assignment, I plan to use the Titanic passenger dataset to practice basic data loading and transformation in R. I chose the Titanic dataset because I liked the movie and became interested in learning more about the passengers, especially the survivors and the people who died. I will load the dataset from Github (Titanic.csv, https://github.com/YBI-Foundation), select useful columns such as survival status, passenger class, sex, age, and fare, and make the data easier to understand by renaming or transforming values where needed.

Some challenges I expect are missing values, especially in the age column, and understanding how the variables are represented in the original dataset.
