π’ Data wrangling is “the process of transforming and mapping data from one “raw” data form into another format with the intent of making it more appropriate and valuable for a variety of downstream purposes such as analytics.”Β This means I re-format and re-structure data, mainly data from clinical studies and experiments, into a way that can be adopted by analysts and researchers for their analysis.Β In short, I play around with data to make it more accessible.
